Joint Meeting of the Presidium and Supervisory Board of AKI SR – Evaluation of 2025 and Planning of Activities for 2026

11. decembra 2025

On Thursday, December 4, 2025, a joint meeting of the Presidium and Supervisory Board of the Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic took place.

The aim of the meeting was a comprehensive evaluation of the association's activities for 2025 and at the same time the presentation and discussion of the proposed main activities and priorities for 2026.

The meeting was held with the participation of all members of the presidium and supervisory board, which underscores the importance of the discussed topics and the unified interest in the further development and professional contribution of the association in the field of critical infrastructure in Slovakia.

Part of the program also included the official termination of Lukáš Parízek's service as a member of the presidium. Due to his appointment by the Government of the Slovak Republic to the significant and time-demanding position of General Commissioner of the Slovak Republic's exposition at the International Exhibition EXPO 2027 in Belgrade, he resigned from his position at AKI SR. His new top management position requires full professional dedication, which no longer allows him to continue his activities in the association to the previous extent.

President of AKI SR Tibor Straka, on behalf of the presidium and supervisory board, thanked Mr. Parízek for his work to date, active involvement and professional contribution to the development of AKI SR's activities. He emphasized that his engagement and professional experience significantly contributed to strengthening the professional standing of the association in the field of critical infrastructure.

In accordance with the Statutes of AKI SR, the presidium elected Roman Mach, nominee of member company Dual Use Capital, to the position of alternate member of the presidium. The new vice president will serve in this position according to the provisions of the valid statutes until the next meeting of the general assembly.

The meeting of the presidium and supervisory board was conducted in the spirit of constructive discussion and sharing of ideas, which will serve as the basis for the plan of activities and strategic priorities of the association for the coming year. The goal is to continue strengthening professional capacities, deepening cooperation with both the public and private sectors, and increasing awareness of the importance of enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure in the Slovak Republic.

Industry as a Critical Sector: The Final Article in AKI SR’s Series on Critical Sectors

3. augusta 2026
Industry is one of the sectors where the importance of critical infrastructure becomes very tangible. Not in abstract definitions, but in the state’s ability to maintain the availability of medicines, the continuity of metallurgical production, supplies of key chemical substances, functioning supply chains, and technological self-sufficiency at times when standard market mechanisms may not be enough. 

Priemysel ako kritický sektor: posledný článok zo série AKI SR o kritických sektoroch

3. augusta 2026
Priemysel patrí medzi sektory, pri ktorých sa význam kritickej infraštruktúry ukazuje veľmi konkrétne. Nie v abstraktných definíciách, ale v schopnosti štátu udržať dostupnosť liekov, kontinuitu hutníckej výroby, dodávky kľúčových chemických látok, funkčné dodávateľské reťazce a technologickú sebestačnosť v časoch, keď štandardné trhové mechanizmy nemusia stačiť.

10th Critical Infrastructure Sector: Production, Processing and Distribution of Food

28. júla 2026
In the morning, we open the refrigerator. In a shop, we reach for bread, milk, meat, pasta or fruit. In a cafeteria, a child receives lunch; a hospital patient receives a special diet; and a senior in a social services facility receives a warm meal. Most of us do not think about it. Food simply “is”.

10. sektor kritickej infraštruktúry: Výroba, spracovanie a distribúcia potravín

28. júla 2026
Ráno otvoríme chladničku. V obchode siahneme po pečive, mlieku, mäse, cestovinách alebo ovocí. V jedálni dostane obed dieťa, pacient v nemocnici diétnu stravu a senior v zariadení sociálnych služieb teplé jedlo. Väčšina z nás nad tým nepremýšľa. Potraviny jednoducho „sú“.

In this series, the Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic (AKI SR) is gradually introducing the individual essential services listed in Annex No. 1 of the Critical Infrastructure Act – in other words, those activities without which the economic and social life of the state would quite literally grind to a halt.
