We invite you to the event (EU Global Gateway: Opportunity for Slovak entrepreneurs) aimed at supporting the involvement of Slovak entrepreneurs in the implementation of the Global Gateway – a new EU strategy to support development projects around the world in the fields of sustainable energy, transport, digital infrastructure, healthcare, education, science and research.<\/p>\n
The event is organized by EXIMBANKA SR in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic and the European Commission with the participation of representatives of the Government of the Slovak Republic and senior representatives of the European Commission.<\/p>\n
The aim of the event is to introduce Slovak entrepreneurs not only to the opportunities offered by the Global Gateway strategy, but above all to the concrete ways in which they can get involved in the implementation of the strategy. Interactive workshops and subsequent networking are a unique opportunity to establish direct contact between entrepreneurs, representatives of ministries, EXIMBANKA SR, state agencies and the European Commission.<\/p>\n
The event will take place on 6.
