10 rising star startups from Slovakia to watch in 2021
Summary
Known for stunning castles, ski breaks, cosy chalets and beautiful views, Slovakia is not short of touristic sights, but that’s not all it has to offer. There is no shortage or co-working spaces/communities either, as well as opportunities like the annual Innovation Day in September, backed by the German-Slovak Chamber of Industry and Commerce, where startups are connected with international players. Although there are many successful larger startups in Slovakia, with this list we aimed to find the up-and-coming gems, founded only in the last 1-3 years, who show promising signs of growing from small teams to global scaleups. For busy urban people who don’t want to spend time in overcrowded spas, ElysiumSpa’s smart saunas leverage IoT to offer a new experience, allowing customers to adjust everything via an app, and enable them to plan and book their stay avoiding the crowds. Its technology allows customers to try products in AR with different colours and materials, find the perfect fit and add items directly to a shopping cart.
