AmCham Slovakia

On December 13th, 2022, AmCham Digital Committee leadership met with stakeholders from the public sphere, business environment, NGOs, and research in the area of digitalization in Slovakia. We organized a roundtable discussion on the Future of Digitalization in Slovakia. Together we identified the major barriers preventing a successful digital transformation of Slovakia: lack of trust between public authorities and other stakeholders, fragmented communication about strategic reforms and initiatives, non-existence of the rules for (expert) public participation concerning public policy shaping, too much focus on administrative processes and not enough focus on the impact, which results in ineffective execution of investments and reforms. As a follow up we drafted the policy material Commandments for a sucessful crosssectoral cooperation in the area of digitalization, which highlights key areas that represent a barrier to a successful digital transformation of Slovakia and steps that need to be taken in order to ensure more effective implementation of reforms and transformation.
