This Caucasus country is transforming from an exotic destination into a real business opportunity for Slovak companies. Georgia combines a low administrative burden, a favorable tax system, and a strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Eximbanka has already supported exporters’ projects here totaling more than 50 million euros, and interest is growing. For companies seeking new markets with growth potential, now is the right time to enter the market and gain a competitive edge.
Slovak exporters consider reliable partners, knowledge of the local environment, thorough preparation, and courage to be the key to success in foreign markets. This is according to Eximbanka’s 2026 Export Barometer, which surveyed the experiences, challenges, needs, and recommendations of companies engaged in international trade.
Representatives of Eximbanka attended the meeting of the Turkmen-Slovak Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation, which took place 17. and on June 18 in Ashgabat, a series of working meetings with representatives of Turkmen state institutions and the financial sector. The discussions focused on specific projects, opportunities for Slovak companies to participate in planned investments, and practical steps that would facilitate the implementation of business deals between Slovak and Turkmen partners.
Representatives of European Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) met at the EU ECA Summit 2026 in Helsinki to discuss a common approach to promote the competitiveness of the European Union, European industry and exporters in a changing global environment. The main theme of the discussions was the more effective use of export finance and insurance instruments to support the EU’s strategic priorities in global markets.
Yesterday, the Export Club discussion forum focused on Southeast Asia was held in Bratislava, organized by Eximbanka in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic. The aim of the event was to provide Slovak companies with up-to-date information on business opportunities in this promising region, as well as on state export support instruments and Eximbank’s role in their use.
Eximbanka CEO Rastislav Podhorec received a delegation of the Embassy of Georgia in Slovakia led by Ambassador Konstantin Kvachakidze, who was accompanied by economic diplomat George Zviadadze. The meeting was focused on the possibilities of further development of the Slovenian-Georgian economic cooperation and support for Slovak entrepreneurs in entering prospective projects in Georgia.
Indonesia is one of the largest and most dynamic economies in Southeast Asia and one of the least exploited export markets for Slovak companies. In 2024, bilateral trade between Slovakia and Indonesia amounted to only around 180 million euros. This is why the next Eximbank Export Club, which will take place on 28 May 2026 in Bratislava, will focus on this country and the wider Southeast Asian region.
