10. The Current Situation of the Electrotechnical Industry within the Economy and Industrial Manufacturing Sector of the Slovak Republic
The industry creates more than 12% of the value added
created by the manufacturing industry
Gradual growth in value added in manufacturing output of existing investors
(Samsung, Sony)
Positive trend in productivity growth
One of the few industrial sectors with employment growth (about 15-20% p.a.)
Manufacturing output characterized by dynamic growth, doubled since 2000
Business model with municipalities seeking out and negotiating directly
with investors proved successful
Positive manufacturing experience of investors in Slovakia leads
to manufacturing capacity expansion
Negatives:
Value added and productivity is relatively low at the moment
Sector has negative net but shrinking foreign trade gap

11. The Current Situation of the Electrotechnical Industry
The electrotechnical industry is currently one of the largest employers
of the manufacturing sector as well as the producer of the second highest
value added in industrial manufacturing.
Electrotechnical industry growth was the fastest of all industrial manufacturing
sectors since the year 2000.
The share of the value added of the electrotechnical industry on the overall
value added of the manufacturing industry increased from 9.07 % to %
since 2001.
Car manufacturing can be partially credited for this development, creating
demand for manufacturing of optical and electrotechnical products.
There is increasing evidence of higher value added structure
in the manufacturing sector as more foreign investors transfer in their higher
value added services, which represent the backbone of a modern economy.

13. Employment in Electrotechnical Industry of the Slovak Republic in 2001 - 2006
The number of employees grew by 32% since 2001, representing the third fastest
employment growth rate in the manufacturing industry.
The largest share of employees is in the electric equipment and instruments (68%)
sub-sector.
Average wages in electrotechnical industry increased by 5.4% in 2006 to SKK
17,952.
The most significant factor in 2006 was the continuing inflow of foreign direct
investment.

15. ELO SYS 2007 Since 1995, ZEP SR is the co-organizer
of the International Fair of Electrical
Engineering, Electronics and Power
Engineering ELO SYS where ZEP SR
have been awarding:
- Electrotechnical Product of the Year
- The Best Exhibit of the ELO SYS Fair
- The Designer of the year
- The Unique Product of the year
(with USD prize) for product
at patent or invention level.
There were 374 exhibitors in the Elo Sys 2007
fair (8 companis from EU and Japan)
(The Unique Product of the year VUJE)

16. High–tech and Middle–tech in Slovak Electrotechnical Industry
Slovak power electrical engineering and electronic is comparable to EU level.
* Electro-insulating materials and systems in electrical engineering could be
evaluated in more detail, because they are hidden in final products, mostly.
For example amorphous metals developed in the Slovak Academy of Sciences
(beside USA, Germany and Japan) ranked us among the best workshops in the
World.
* Regulating and control engineering developed in Slovakia (directly
to transport systems for EU partners mostly) are extremely successful.
In comparison with USA there are several problems: different technical standards, system frequency and voltage.  
In comparison with Japan the situation is very similar.
Power electrical engineering, electro-insulating materials and systems,
regulating and control engineering are at the knowledge level.

17. Slovak Investment & Trade Development Agency
The main mission of SARIO is to contribute to the acceleration
of economic growth of the Slovak Republic and to improve the quality
of life in Slovakia - SARIO achieves this goal by presenting the economic environment of Slovakia, attracting foreign direct investments and developing of the FDI projects up to their final stage.
