This national strategy aims to transform Slovakia into an energy-computational hub by leveraging carbon-free energy for AI Factories. It addresses labour shortages and fiscal constraints by automating public administration and creating a sovereign AI adaptation layer. The initiative centralises AI governance to ensure data sovereignty, ethical standards and economic growth in line with EU Digital Decade 2030 goals.

This draft Act would implement the EU AI Act and Data Act in Slovak national law. It would establish the Office of Digital Integrity as the central competent authority responsible for supervising AI systems and data sharing. The initiative aims to ensure legal certainty, market safety, and the protection of fundamental rights regarding AI technologies, while also defining penalties for non-compliance and setting up a governance framework for trustworthy AI.

The Action Plan of Digital Transformation 2023-2026 includes the development of Experimental Regulatory Environments for AI. The first step of this project involved preparing a feasibility study for establishing an AI sandbox; the study proposed a set of legislative and technical tools, including a legal framework on the AI sandbox, necessary personnel capacities, and technical requirements. Based on this study, the preparatory phase of this pilot project is scheduled for 2025.

This governance framework aims to enhance policy coordination, streamline digital transformation efforts, and align Slovakia’s regulatory approach with EU digital regulations.

The Slovak Quantum Communication Infrastructure project is implemented by institute of Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences.

Four Slovak companies have been approved by the European Commission to support research, innovation and the first industrial deployment of microelectronics and communication technologies across the value chain.

This company leverages machine learning to analyse physiological data, tailoring treatment and diagnostics for cardiovascular diseases. It provides innovative tools that enhance patient care by improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment personalisation.

Digital Health Slovakia is a non-profit association dedicated to promoting interoperability and standardisation in healthcare within Slovakia. It supports sustainable, patient-centric healthcare by fostering a community of digital health standards users and experts.

The Center for Innovative Healthcare, a European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH), aims to drive structural reforms, innovation, and digital transformation in Slovakia's healthcare sector to enhance quality and efficiency. By 2025, it plans to establish a network of key Slovak companies and public institutions dedicated to modern healthcare solutions, with AI in healthcare as a priority area.

TEF Health, an initiative by the European Commission, aims to accelerate the adoption of AI and robotics in healthcare. In Slovakia, it focuses on using AI to analyse radiological images, enhancing the speed and accuracy of diagnoses for radiologists.

This project aims to construct high-performance computing capacities, adding to the procurement and operation of publicly accessible national high-performance computing infrastructure, which is set to serve not only the academic community, but also public and state administration institutions, as well as private research and development.

These guidelines outline best practices and recommendations for integrating cloud services in public administration, supporting the goals of NKIVS, focussing on security, interoperability, and cost-efficiency in using cloud technologies.

The NKIVS provides the framework for the informatisation of public administration, focusing on digital and data transformations as well as integration of cloud services into public administration processes, promoting the use of next-generation cloud technologies to improve efficiency, accessibility, and security in government operations It includes guidelines on adopting cloud services within public administration, ensuring secure and efficient digital services.

The new website, created in collaboration with the National Artificial Intelligence Platform "AIslovakIA," aims to provide easy access to relevant legislation, documents, and initiatives in the field of AI. It is part of fulfilling the measures of the Action Plan for the Digital Transformation of Slovakia 2023-2026. The platform's main goal is to offer both experts and the general public access to information on AI legislation, events, study programmes related to AI.

The Slovak government is exploring the use of AI for data-driven policymaking. This involves using AI to analyse large datasets to identify trends, predict outcomes, and inform policy decisions. Such initiatives aim to make policymaking more evidence-based and effective.

European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) in Slovakia play a crucial role in supporting the uptake of AI and other innovative technologies in public sector organisations. These hubs provide resources, expertise, and support for implementing AI-driven solutions to enhance public service delivery.

Twenty-two degree programmes in artificial intelligence are now offered at six Slovak universities. These programmes benefit students interested in studying AI and related fields. The initiative addresses growing demand for AI skills in education and the tech job market.

The goal of the national project “Support for the Digital Transformation of Education” (DiTEdu) is to create innovative teaching methodologies for preschools, primary schools, and secondary schools that will reflect the latest trends in digitalisation.

A project of the National IT Academy has focused on creating study materials for new and innovative subjects in the field of artificial intelligence at higher education institutions. These subjects included topics such as introduction to neural networks, neural networks, artificial intelligence, and programming languages for artificial intelligence.
