Bratislava, 22.January 2026 – The Slovak Chips Competence Centre (SK Chips Competence Centre) has signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with the Secondary School of Electrical Engineering Zochova in Bratislava, establishing a framework for long-term and systematic collaboration in technical education, talent development, and fostering students’ interest in electronics, microelectronics, semiconductors, and chip technologies.
The aim of the memorandum is to connect secondary vocational education with current technological trends and real industry needs. The cooperation will focus primarily on the gradual integration of modern semiconductor- and chip-related topics into teaching, adjustments to curricula, expert consultations, teacher training, and the involvement of students in practical activities, workshops, and project-based learning.
The signing of the memorandum reflects a shared vision of both partners: to build a strong relationship with technology already at secondary school level and to systematically prepare the next generation of specialists who will be able to succeed in the rapidly growing high-tech sector in Slovakia and across Europe. Early exposure of students to real technologies enhances their technical thinking, motivation for further studies, and readiness for careers in advanced technological fields.
The cooperation with the Secondary School of Electrical Engineering Zochova is part of the broader educational and talent development activities of the Slovak Chips Competence Centre. The Centre actively connects secondary schools, universities, research institutions, and industry with the goal of building a strong and competitive semiconductor ecosystem in Slovakia, in line with European initiatives in the field of chips and microelectronics.
Michal Mičjan, Director of the Slovak Chips Competence Centre, commented on the cooperation:
“Our cooperation with the Secondary School of Electrical Engineering Zochova confirms that the development of a semiconductor ecosystem must start already at secondary school level. If we want young people to develop a genuine interest in electronics, semiconductors, and modern technologies, we need to introduce them early and in a practical way. This memorandum creates space for students to get closer to real technologies, research, and industry—and to see their future in technology.”
The Slovak Chips Competence Centre considers cooperation with secondary vocational schools a key pillar in strengthening the country’s technological capacities. The future of technology begins with education—and the systematic development of interest in electronics and chips among young people is the foundation of Slovakia’s long-term competitiveness in the high-tech industry.
