AmCham Slovakia

Do you know how to strategically protect your brand, innovations, and technologies—before the market catches you off guard?

Protect & Grow 2025 aims to become a premier platform in Slovakia for expert discussions, knowledge sharing, and meaningful networking across law, business, technology, and investment sectors.

For the first time in Slovakia, we are launching a conference focused exclusively on the strategic protection of brands, innovations, and technologies through smart intellectual property (IP) management.

In today’s business world, IP is often a company’s most valuable,—yet most overlooked—asset.

Our mission is to help protect that value from the earliest idea, throughout the entire lifecycle of a product, service, or brand.

Despite its importance, IP strategy awareness remains low in Slovakia—even among experienced entrepreneurs, investors, executives, and marketers.

From our experience, many companies face legal and reputational risks through no fault of their own—whether entering a new market, scaling operations, or negotiating an exit. The reason? Lack of awareness, underestimating the value of IP, missing strategy, or acting too late.

IP knows no borders. From Slovakia, we build and manage global IP strategies for clients in dozens of countries.

Intellectual property is one of the few areas of law that is inherently international—requiring a global mindset from day one.

Join us at Protect & Grow 2025 and take the first step toward building a smarter IP strategy for your brand, your business, and your future.

Among the featured speakers:

• Sam Giles – Leading UK patent attorney and physicist representing a firm with over 100 years of tradition
• Mišo Pastier – Creative mind and author known for turning ideas into beloved brands

• Zuzana Kaparová – Head of the Slovak branch of the European Investment Bank
• Igor Pogány – AI expert, YouTuber with over 390,000 (!) subscribers, and passionate tech communicator

…and more names and ideas you won’t soon forget.

The program will conclude with an evening reception celebrating the 35th anniversary of BRICHTA & PARTNERS — a firm honored nine times as Slovakia’s Law Firm of the Year in the field of intellectual property law.
