The state FDI agency Sario brokered €439m in investments last year, down €1.3bn annually, according to its new head Egon Zorád. Last year’s 33 projects are expected to create 3,300 jobs. Zorád stressed that despite tax increases, a deteriorating business environment, and geopolitical tensions, Slovakia remains in contention for Asian investments comparable in scale to Volvo or Jaguar. The agency currently has 69 projects in the pipeline worth €4.9bn that could generate 15,000 jobs. The most notable projects last year came from Mobis, Airvolute, Vertiv, Celon Pharma, and Inalfa Roof Systems.
