2. Corruption as a negative and harmful factor for the "Slovakia brand"

Slovakia has long been one of the countries with the highest level of perception of corruption, which has a major impact on business costs, negatively affects the "Slovak brand" and discourages potential investors. The Entrepreneurship Initiative, therefore, identifies barriers to entrepreneurship that create the potential for corruption. At the same time, it will run a campaign to the inside of the business sector, as well as to the public, to highlight the consequences of corruption in people's daily lives.


3. Transparent and effective justice as a solid basis for domestic and foreign investors

Effective and transparent justice is considered by entrepreneurs to be the basis of a stable and predictable business environment. The very long duration of litigation in Slovakia limits the investment opportunities of companies, as funds are reserved for court proceedings.
