The Slovak startup ecosystem is rapidly evolving, showcasing significant potential for innovation and entrepreneurship. With a population of approximately 5.4M, Slovakia is strategically located in Central Europe, sharing borders with key markets such as Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Ukraine. This geographic advantage facilitates access to diverse markets and enhances the attractiveness of Slovakia as a destination for startups and investors alike.
In collaboration with Zaka VC, a fund operating in both Bratislava and Prague, we embark on a mission to highlight Slovak startups—those already making an impact as well as those still in their early stages.
This first article in our series sheds light on two of the industries tackled by Slovak startups, with more to follow. If you are the founder of such a startup and want to be known and added to this list, please fill in this form with your information.
