When it comes to implementation of Smart Cities in Slovakia,
there exists several obstacles which cause the ineffective and
unsuccessful implementation of these projects. The aim of this
thesis is to identify the factors behind the unsuccessful
implementation of this concept in Slovak municipalities. The
thesis will use as a main source mostly interviews with
relevant actors, such as representatives of municipalities,
relevant Slovak ministries, experts and business
representatives. The ambition of the thesis is to make a
valuable contribution to the debate of implementing smart
cities projects in Slovakia, as well as across Europe.
