Private Equity

Competition is heating up in the private equity market. Though more deals are closing, competition for qualified acquisitions is fierce. Further, as investors seek greater communication and better returns with lower management fees, the resulting low-price environment is leaving many PE sponsors feeling pressure to do more with less.

Consumer Business

Recently, consumer goods and retail companies have been exposed to strong competition due to the rapid development of the sector. International expansions, mergers and acquisitions, e-commerce, cyber security concerns and supply chain changes have led these companies to make the changes they need to keep up with the latest developments.

Public Sector

The public sector is facing many challenges. Government is under pressure to accomplish more each year, and expenditure is under constant scrutiny. On the other hand, the Slovak Republic has the opportunity to use funds provided by the European Union for selected purposes, which also includes several challenges to the public sector.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing remains one of the key industries for Slovak Republic as well as for the whole global economy. In recent years, manufacturers have developed their position to cope with the threats from low-cost emerging countries, and manufacturers now aspire to provide excellent service supported by extensive R&D and innovation. Manufacturers have increasingly used the low cost emerging economies as part of their business strategy and many are now developing active positions in these new world markets.

Health Care

The COVID-19 global pandemic has demonstrated how quickly crises can escalate, and why the healthcare industry must be ready to react and adapt. From individual patient care to population health, the disruption to the system was insurmountable. It’s time to learn the lessons and prepare for the future of healthcare. What comes next will be more collaborative, connective and patient centric than ever before.
