Students of the 2nd year of the course Entrepreneurship in Practice: the EXIMBANKA SR club at the University of Economics in Bratislava can look forward to the third year.

The CEO of Eximbanka Ing.Rastislav Podhorec, MBA, met today with Darina Huttova, representative of the NIROFT platform (National Institute for Financial Market Support and Development).

According to Eximbanka’s research, there is a growing interest in Ukraine (19%), sub-Saharan Africa (16%) and the Western Balkans (15%). Companies are also attracted to Southeast Asia and Latin America, but they face a lack of contacts, financial security and unfamiliarity with the territories when expanding.
