CEO Platform

CEO Discussion Forum

The Slovak CEO Discussion Forum is an exclusive event that has brought together leaders of Slovak businesses for several years, providing a platform for open dialogue on the key issues shaping the future of companies.

Each year, we present the results of the Slovak CEO Survey, which compares the views of CEOs in Slovakia with those of their global counterparts. The findings from the Global CEO Survey traditionally serve as the opening topic at the World Economic Forum in Davos. This year marks the 17th edition of the Slovak CEO survey.

In addition to sharing the survey results, the CEO Discussion Forum also announces the winner of The Most Respected CEO award.

The Slovak CEO Discussion Forum will be held on 11 February 2027.


CEO Discussion Clubs

Alongside the annual CEO Discussion Forum, we have established the PwC CEO Discussion Club, an exclusive platform for CEOs and business leaders in Slovakia. This club provides a space for open exchange of experiences, insights, and perspectives in an environment that encourages meaningful discussion and valuable networking opportunities, taking place multiple times throughout the year.

The next CEO Discussion Club, titled “Brand Value in Practice and the Role of the CEO in Enhancing It,” will be held on 19 November 2026.

The Most Respected CEO Award

For the past 14 years, The Most Respected CEO Award has recognized leaders who have earned respect through the way they lead their companies, inspire their teams, and contribute to the development of Slovakia’s business environment.

The winner is chosen by fellow leaders of Slovak businesses. Voting takes place among respondents to the PwC CEO Survey, who nominate the individual they respect most based on their own experiences and perceptions.

The goal of this initiative is to recognize those who have earned genuine respect through their actions, values, and leadership style. True respect, after all, is not defined by position or title, but by the trust a leader builds, maintains, and upholds over time.
