About conference 

"The world at a crossroad"

The world around us is changing at an unprecedented pace, facing shocks and disruptions. The phase in which we find ourselves as a society can be defined as X.

For us, X symbolizes a crossroad where we must decide which path to take. Will we continue the race in artificial intelligence development, allowing it to soon surpass human intelligence, or will we limit or even ban it in the interest of human survival? Will we “humanize” robots to the point where they become indistinguishable from humans, or will we instead “enhance” humans by integrating advanced robotic systems into the human body? Will we persist in achieving ambitious climate goals, even if it means sacrificing our own industry and prosperity? Will we protect ourselves from technologically superior competition by imposing trade barriers, or will we choose to enhance our own innovation capacity and competitiveness?

SlovakiaTech 2025 will be a platform for exploring potential answers to these crossroads challenges—in the fields of innovation, business, and technology. It will also serve as a space for seeking solutions to Slovakia’s re-industrialization, focusing on higher added value, overcoming the middle-income trap, and strengthening resilience (economic, cybersecurity, climate, etc.) against external stressors and shocks. Moreover, it will be a forum for shaping a profitable yet environmentally sustainable economic model for Slovakia’s future.

SlovakiaTech 2025 is the combination of an international professional conference and an innovation&technology trade fair. The B2B event is one of the side events of the SlovakiaTech Forum-Expo conference, which will have a rich program.
