24. apríla 2026

The Critical Infrastructure Association of the Slovak Republic (AKI SR) and Slovak Investment Holding, a. s. concluded a memorandum of cooperation on 23 April 2026, the aim of which is to create a framework for the support of investments and the financing of projects in the field of critical infrastructure in Slovakia.


The memorandum confirms the shared interest of both parties in developing strategic, developmental and innovation projects with a focus on increasing the resilience of critical infrastructure and securing essential services. The cooperation will concentrate in particular on the identification of suitable projects, the exchange of expert knowledge, as well as the interconnection of public and private sources of financing.

An important part of the cooperation is also the use of expert capacities and practical experience in the preparation and implementation of projects, in particular in the areas of infrastructure and innovation.


“We see room for projects that will have a long-term impact and, at the same time, financial sustainability. In areas of public interest, such as critical infrastructure or innovation, we can bring knowledge of the environment, the identification of projects and the interconnection of partners, so that high-quality and feasible solutions come into being,” stated Tibor Straka, President of AKI SR.


According to his words, it is crucial that the cooperation brings concrete results: “It is important for us that this cooperation is sustainable in the long term and brings measurable results that will have a real benefit for Slovak critical infrastructure.”


At the same time, the memorandum creates space for systematic expert cooperation, consultations and further joint activities aimed at the support of investments and the development of critical infrastructure. Both parties declare their interest in actively participating in projects that will contribute to the modernisation of infrastructure, the more efficient use of resources and the strengthening of the investment environment in Slovakia.
