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.

Zero Trust in the Supply Chain of Critical Infrastructure: When Trust Must Be Verified

18. júna 2026
The weakest point of an organization has long ceased to be its own technology. Increasingly, it is becoming a supplier who has access to systems, data, or ensures the operation of critical services.

Najslabším miestom organizácie už dávno nemusí byť jej vlastná technológia. Čoraz častejšie sa ním stáva dodávateľ, ktorý má prístup k systémom, údajom alebo zabezpečuje prevádzku kritických služieb.

Critical Infrastructure Doesn't Start at the Power Plant. It Starts in the Supply Chain.

10. júna 2026
Imagine a situation where equipment that ensures the supply of electricity, the production of drinking water, or the operation of a hospital fails. The failure itself may not be the biggest problem. A much greater challenge can be discovering that the replacement part is manufactured on the other side of the world and its delivery will take several months. It is in situations like these that the true importance of resilient supply chains becomes clear.

Kritická infraštruktúra sa nezačína v elektrárni. Začína sa v dodávateľskom reťazci.

10. júna 2026
Predstavme si situáciu, že dôjde k poruche zariadenia zabezpečujúceho dodávku elektriny, výrobu pitnej vody alebo fungovanie nemocnice. Samotná porucha nemusí znamenať najväčší problém. Oveľa väčšou výzvou môže byť zistenie, že náhradný diel sa vyrába na druhom konci sveta a jeho dodanie potrvá niekoľko mesiacov. Práve v takýchto situáciách sa ukazuje skutočný význam odolnosti dodávateľských reťazcov.
