09:00 – 09:30    WELCOME & OVERVIEW OF THE BSC SECTOR IN SLOVAKIA IN 2020

09:30 – 10:00     GOVERNMENT TALKS – DIGITAL EDUCATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

  • Branislav Gröhling, Minister, Ministry of Education of the Slovak Republic

How is the Slovak education sector going to respond to the "new normal"? What lessons have we learnt as far as digital skills of teachers and students are concerned and how these will influence the future skillset of talents in Slovakia? Is Slovakia ready to digital revolution in education?

Business services is a distinct competitive advantage to Slovakia employing almost 40 000 talents with higher added value than many other economic areas. Has the attention paid by the public offices to the sector bore fruit or do we need to shape a completely new ecosystem further supporting business growth for BSCs, especially in the light of the ongoing pandemic? Will the proposed changes to the Labor Code positively affect productivity of work and competitiveness of the country?
