The Slovak engineering industry faces new technological and strategic challenges in the global competitive landscape. The importance of institutional support and the transformation of the sector were discussed by PPS Group representative, Daniel Futej, in an interview for EXIMBANKA SR.
Modern engineering is shifting from metal processing toward digital data and software solutions. According to Mr. Futej, the domestic market urgently requires a comprehensive system for knowledge sharing and the consolidation of capabilities.
When expanding into high-risk Asian or African markets, the state and effective economic diplomacy play a crucial role. Foreign partners in these regions require a counterpart with clear institutional backing, which provides Slovak exporters with the necessary credibility. Compared to global competition, our advantage lies in flexibility and the capacity for improvisation; however, success requires a clear vision, the ability to identify financing, and surrounding oneself with an expert team.
