Inovato Cluster
One of the most active innovation clusters in Slovakia, bringing together companies, experts, academia, government, and the nonprofit sector. We build on collaboration, connecting people, and sharing experiences and know-how, because we believe that this is the foundation of true innovation. We create an environment where ideas find the right partners, projects get a real chance, and innovations have an impact not only on business but also on society and future generations.
