It was opened by cutting the ceremonial ribbon by the First Lady Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová, Minister of Transport, Construction and Regional Development Ján Figeľ and Minister of Economy Juraj Miškov. According to the First Lady, "the fair is an ideal platform not only for business meetings, but also business opportunities, finding new challenges and presentation of new things that yet get into sales."
The construction field was one of the crucial pillars of the industry and development of the national economy of Slovakia, said Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová in her speech. As she further added, "the global crisis has also affected our country, as well as the construction field. The main factors currently limiting the growth of construction production may include insufficient demand for construction production and financial constraints. There is less funding for public and for private sector, expenditures are cutted down." According to the First Lady of Slovakia some driving force in times of crisis should be particularly the highway construction.
First Lady is confident that improved business environment will help strengthen the competitiveness of the Slovak economy and enable businesses to better fulfill their role in the economy of the creation of added value and job creation. Finally, she wished the fair success, satisfaction of visitors and exhibitors.
The trade fair will present exhibitors offering a variety of building components, tools and services from Slovakia but also abroad. The largest representation from abroad – 95 exhibitors – come from the Czech Republic. |
