SME and Entrepreneurship Policy in the Slovak Republic
This report presents the findings and recommendations of the OECD review of SME and
Entrepreneurship Policy in the Slovak Republic. It examines how to address the challenges
of stimulating more productive entrepreneurship, supporting enterprise scale-up, stimulating
SME exports and global value chain participation, increasing SME innovation and innovative
entrepreneurship, and making entrepreneurship more inclusive across the population.
The report examines SME and entrepreneurship performance and the business environment
for SMEs and entrepreneurship in the Slovak Republic, giving benchmarks against other
OECD countries. The report also takes a close look at arrangements to ensure policy
leadership, co-ordination and consultation in this field. It examines the government
support programmes across areas including SME and entrepreneurship financing, supporting
innovation, building SME workforce skills and public procurement. It also examines
the east-west divide in SME and entrepreneurship activity and their supporting conditions
in the Slovak Republic and how to strengthen regional entrepreneurial ecosystems across
the country. Further chapters focus on SME digitalisation and the promotion of self-employment
and social entrepreneurship to strengthen the labour market attachment of the Slovak
Republic's Roma community.
