Join more than 150 SSC community members at the shared service industry flagship event of the year, learn about the latest trends and reconnect with your fellow business leaders – welcome to the hybrid BSCF conference! Business services in Slovakia have demonstrated unprecedented resilience and flexibility during the pandemic adapting to the quintessential changes in the international business environment and local societies. Country´s economy continue to rely on business centers in preserving overall employment levels and adhering to all commitments/liabilities companies have, but in order to continuously climb up the ladder of value added, the industry needs a stronger and more targeted support from the Government and local municipalities.

Business Service Center Forum represents the business service industry in Slovakia with almost 40 000 employees from a wide range of services and locations across the country. We will be very excited to welcome industry leaders, renowned experts, members of academia and public officials at the Forum´s 8th annual event. The conference will spot more light on solutions how relevant stakeholders can jointly support cities such as Bratislava or Košice and perhaps the entire country to govern their branding and increase their attractiveness so to help investors, local communities and talents to thrive in modern and healthy business environment.
