2012: YEAR of EDUCATION
To become the FDI location of choice by 2020, and to win the FDI race,
Slovakia should carry out the 10 most important actions vital for the
successful accomplishment of this vision. One of the points is to INVEST
in EDUCATION.
“Education is at the heart of our economic future. A workforce with the relevant skills across all sectors, and one that supports innovation is a necessity. The future needs of business must be aligned with the future education our children will receive. The level of education is a key differentiator amongst competing economies for FDI; therefore a focused investment in education on the next generation FDI areas will play an essential part in securing FDI.” - The 10 steps to winning the FDI race –
