Investments, R&D and innovation support in Slovakia

 

In Slovakia, there are a number of state aid measures and EU instruments to assist companies build new facilities, and support expansion or diversification of their production, or increase their innovation potential. Enterprises are limited in their business decisions by different legislative rules and are burdened by complicated aid schemes.

The PwC team specializing in the preparation and implementation of projects co-financed by public funds, has been involved in the successful implementation of investment projects of many major global companies in Slovakia, which have received state aid, or a non-repayable financial contribution from EU funds. During our 10-year’s experience, we have dealt with many problems that our clients faced and we helped our clients to solve them successfully.

In 2015 in Slovakia, a measure was introduced for supporting R&D activities in the form of a R&D super-deduction and we have assisted a number of companies to apply this measure. 

Since 2018, we have provided our clients with assistance regarding the use of the patent-box, a tool for support of the patenting of R&D results in Slovakia.
