Last week marked an important milestone for Slovak-Italian cooperation. Decent Cybersecurity participated in an official business mission to Milan and Genoa. The two-day event took place on October 2-3, 2025, held under the auspices of President Peter Pellegrini. Moreover, the mission coincided with the opening of the Honorary Consulate of Slovakia in Liguria, making it particularly significant for future Slovak-Italian business partnerships.
Our company was represented by Michaela Abel, COO and Co-founder of Decent Cybersecurity. We had the opportunity to connect directly with key stakeholders from both countries and explore potential collaborations in technology and innovation sectors.
Building Bridges Between Slovakia and Italy
The conference “Liguria–Slovakia: Connections and Opportunities” took place at the historic Palazzo Tursi in Genoa. This venue brought together distinguished speakers and organizations committed to strengthening bilateral ties. Additionally, the event featured prominent figures including Egon Zorad from SARIO, Matej Fekete from SLOVAKIA TRAVEL, and Zulf Hyatt-Khan representing the Council of Slovak Exporters.
The discussions centered on technological innovation, industry development, and tourism opportunities. Furthermore, participants explored practical ways to enhance cooperation between Slovak and Italian institutions. The atmosphere was vibrant and forward-looking, creating an ideal platform for meaningful connections.
For Decent Cybersecurity, this business mission served multiple strategic purposes. First, it allowed us to expand our international network significantly. Second, we could showcase Slovakia’s innovation potential to Italian partners. Finally, we strengthened our position within the European cybersecurity and digital resilience ecosystem.
Why This Matters for Us
Participating in high-level business missions like this one brings considerable benefits to our company. These events provide access to decision-makers and potential partners that would be difficult to reach otherwise. Consequently, we can accelerate our international growth and market expansion.
Our presence at the Milan-Genoa mission demonstrates our commitment to European cooperation in cybersecurity. As a provider of quantum-resistant cybersecurity solutions, we protect critical infrastructure across aerospace, defense, and satellite communications sectors. Therefore, building relationships with Italian partners opens new possibilities for joint projects and knowledge exchange.
The timing of this mission is particularly relevant. Europe faces increasing cyber threats that require coordinated responses across borders. By participating in these bilateral initiatives, we contribute to building a more resilient European digital infrastructure. Additionally, we gain insights into Italian market needs and regulatory environments, which helps us tailor our solutions more effectively.
Looking ahead, we plan to continue actively participating in similar international missions. These events align perfectly with our strategic goals of expanding our European presence and promoting Slovak innovation. Each mission brings new possibilities and strengthens our network of partners and allies in the cybersecurity sector.
