4 WHY BRATISLAVA

5 BRATISLAVA ACCESSIBILITY INNOVATION EXECUTION Bratislava is also an exceptionally smart city with a bourgeoning start-up eco-system and a stellar global reputation as an innovation hub. Bratislava based ESET is a world leader in anti-virus software while Pixel Federation, founded in the city in 2007, develops online games played in over 200 countries in the world. Renowned as an automotive hub, Bratislava has also spawned Aeromobil, the makers of the world s first flying car. But Bratislava is also an innovator in the Meetings and Events industry. Sli.do, the ground breaking audience engagement platform, was born and raised in this exceptionally smart city. Meeting professionals know the importance of exceptional execution. Strategies and plans are always essential but without great execution, they re useless. Without precision, attention to detail and total focus, great strategies go awry and brilliant plans come to nothing. Global automotive leaders like Volkswagen (producing cars for Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, ŠKODA and SEAT, directly in Bratislava), Peugeot Citroën, KIA and Jaguar Land Rover have all opted to locate their massive plants around our city because for them precision, attention to detail and focus are non-negotiable, they re a sine-qua-non, as defining for them as their brand itself. You see exceptional execution is part of our DNA here in Bratislava you can rest assured that your meetings and events are in safe hands! BRATISLAVA CONVENTION BUREAU
