AmCham Slovakia

After a year defined by the ambition to build a more competitive Slovakia, we enter 2026 with a clear awareness that geopolitical dynamics continue to shape our business environment and everyday lives. Europe stands at a decisive moment: on one hand, there is the effort to preserve free trade and protect the integrity of the Single Market; on the other, the continent faces rising demands for increased defense spending, stronger economic performance, and growing fiscal imbalances. These pressures, combined with the political consequences of risky policy measures, foster serious unpredictability on the market. These events make the central question for 2026 significantly urgent:

How can companies integrate geopolitical developments into strategic decision-making, strengthening their resilience and adapting faster than ever before?

To deeply explore this topic, we are pleased to invite you to the next CEO Learning Circle, featuring our guest speakers:

Mr. Tóth and Ms. Muzikářová will speak on three key areas highly relevant to business leaders:

• How can macroeconomic developments influence business operations in Slovakia in the geopolitical context?
• What strategies should companies consider in an environment of heightened uncertainty?
• What are the risks associated with public finances in Slovakia that may have an impact on businesses?

Throughout 2026, under the theme “Making Competitiveness Slovakia’s Agenda,” we aim to inspire and support business leaders as they navigate an increasingly complex environment. Alongside our regular activities, our focus will remain on topics essential for a predictable business environment, technological progress, innovation en route to the upcoming election cycle. We look forward to your participation and to an engaging discussion that will help shape the path toward a more competitive Slovakia.

The closed-door discussion in Slovak language under Chatham House rules will take place in-person and is exclusively dedicated to C-level representatives of AmCham Slovakia member companies.
