On November 26, 2026, we organized a professional business event in Trenčín in collaboration with VÚB Bank, focusing on key areas of international trade: export financing, receivables insurance
, and effective risk management as Slovak companies enter foreign markets.
VÚB’s Chief Economist, Zdenko Stefanides, discussed current economic issues and challenges in a changing global environment. The program also included
a discussion on opportunities for cooperation between VÚB Bank and Eximbanka in supporting Slovak companies.
The event also featured a panel discussion titled “From Slovakia to Global Markets—Opportunities, Risks, and Real-Life Experiences of Exporters,” with the following speakers:
Milan Horváth, Deputy General Manager of Eximbanka’s Insurance Division
Michal Demák, Director of Eximbanka’s Non-Marketable Risks Insurance Department
Dusan Cizmarik, Director of GTB Sales Support, Intesa Sanpaolo
Hana Husenicova, Head of Global Markets, VÚB
Martin Majtan, Head of the Trade Finance Team, VÚB
The event was hosted by Vedrana Jelusic Kasic, Member of the Board of Directors at
and Senior Director of the Corporate Banking Division at VÚB.
We would like to thank VÚB Bank for its cooperation, the speakers for their expert presentations
, and all guests for their participation and stimulating discussion. The event provided a forum for exchanging experiences and presenting support options that Slovak companies can utilize in their export activities.
We believe that the information gained will help Slovak exports continue to grow.
