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.
