On November 25, 2020, the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency (SARIO) hosted an online investment seminar ‘Developing your business in Slovakia’.The seminar, prepared in cooperation with the Japanese External Trade Organization (JETRO) and the Embassy of Japan in the Slovak Republic, was generally dedicated to representatives of Japanese companies that might be considering localizing their potential investments in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, especially those that are considering expansion into Slovakia. In addition to representatives of both investment agencies, Andrea Mihalickova (SARIO) and Takura Nozawa (JETRO), the participants had a chance to listen to H. E. Makoto Nakagawa, the Ambassador of Japan to the Slovak Republic and representatives of Japanese companies, already established in Slovakia, Minebea Slovakia and Panasonic Industrial Devices Slovakia.
