This document provides an overview of opportunities for exporting to Slovakia from Central Europe. It discusses Slovakia's key milestones like joining the EU, the strengths of its consumer market like in major cities, and industrial sectors such as machinery, electronics, and chemicals that provide opportunities. Challenges are also noted around innovation, skills shortages, and regional disparities. The document concludes by asking where exporters should start and provides contact information for a consulting firm that can assist with business development, subsidies and project management in Central and Eastern Europe.
