AHK Slovakia with BME as main event partner is organizing Sourcing Tour Slovakia, which will take place on-site in 26 - 29 October 2026 in Bratislava. This event, held on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWE) as part of the market development program for SMEs, presents an excellent opportunity for German entrepreneurs to explore the rapidly growing slovakian market and establish valuable business connections in person.

Slovakia stands out as a reliable and competitive sourcing destination within the European Union. With a strong industrial base, skilled workforce, and excellent logistics connections to major EU markets, the country offers significant opportunities in automotive, electronics, and precision manufacturing. Supported by EU investment and a growing focus on innovation and green technologies, Slovakia provides a stable and cost-efficient environment for global buyers and suppliers.

We will arrange B2B meetings with the preferred partners on-site during a two-day long conference with exciting expert speeches and individual B2B matchmaking. Company visits will take place on the following day.
