In 2019, Slovakia launched the Action Plan for the Digital Transformation of Slovakia (2019-2022) to become a digitally advanced nation. Guided by multiple governmental bodies, this initiative aimed to create a robust digital single market and a trustworthy AI ecosystem.
Key objectives included digitizing education to equip students and educators with necessary digital skills, strengthening the digital and data-driven economy to foster innovation and economic growth, enhancing public administration through data-driven decision-making and user-friendly digital services, and cultivating a vibrant AI ecosystem with investments in research and ethical AI practices. The plan emphasized inclusive growth, sustainable development, and well-being, aligning with OECD AI principles.
The action plan covered various policy areas such as digital economy, education, public governance, and innovation, benefiting higher education institutes, public and private research labs, SMEs, government bodies, and civil society organizations. Part of the broader Strategy of the Digital Transformation of Slovakia 2030, the plan laid the groundwork for a sustainable, inclusive, and innovative digital environment.
