Abstract
Key processes associated with innovation and digital transformation in the business environment in Slovakia are closely tied to the implementation of EU strategies and programs, which address the challenges of the 21st century. The Digital Europe Program (2021–2027) is one of the first EU financial instruments aimed at bringing modern technologies closer to citizens and businesses. According to Angela Merkel, “Digitalization is the key to the future because it enables innovation and transformation in all areas of life,” and it is one of the six pillars of the EU Recovery and Resilience Plan. Slovakia, as part of the EU, faces its own specific challenges and opportunities in the field of innovation management and digital transformation. On the one hand, there is significant potential, especially in the area of small and medium-sized enterprises, which constitute a vital part of the Slovak economy. On the other hand, Slovakia still lags behind the EU average in many key digitalization indicators, such as digital skills, the adoption of digital technologies, and access to innovative forms of financing. This underscores the need for stronger support for digitalization, not only from the state but also through European programs and initiatives. This article will explore how Slovakia is implementing global strategies and how these contribute to enhancing efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness.
