AmCham Slovakia

Join us during New York Climate Week for a discussion on climate technology, clean energy, and the infrastructure shaping the next generation of industry.

As the global transition to a cleaner economy accelerates, Europe is becoming an important market for climate technology, energy innovation, and sustainable infrastructure. Slovakia is emerging as a strategic hub in this transition, combining one of Europe’s strongest nuclear energy bases with a growing climate tech and innovation ecosystem.

The country is also developing new capabilities at the intersection of clean energy, AI, and advanced computing. From next-generation nuclear technologies and AI infrastructure to smart waste management and industrial innovation, Slovak companies are developing solutions that can help address some of the biggest challenges of the energy and climate transition.

This Climate Week program will showcase Slovak innovation already making an impact in the United States and explore how Slovakia can serve as a platform for U.S. companies looking to develop, scale, and expand climate and energy technologies in Europe.

The program will bring together Slovak and U.S. companies, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders for a focused discussion on technology, energy, investment, and transatlantic opportunities.
