Abstract

We are convinced that the topic of smart municipalities represents a significant opportunity for Slovakia to increase the country's innovation and export potential. In order for Smart Cities to successfully develop their capital, they need wide cooperation between stakeholders in many areas, from economics to social sciences. The application of the concept should be linked to strategic planning processes, which in the case of Slovakia means the programming of economic and social development and spatial planning. It can be accessed either by purchasing specific proven solutions or by testing innovative practices. In the period 2021 - 2027, the Slovak Republic will also draw fond of the development of smart municipalities within the framework of Europe Union structural funds. However, Slovak municipalities need to know their potential, implement a smart strategy and set up cooperation within the territory (for example, by creating functional urban areas). This research article is focused on the evaluation of municipalities in the Slovak Smart City Index within the territory and size of municipalities by their inhabitants, as well as the amount of implemented funds from the European Structural Funds. The basic question is - is the Slovak Republic ready for development in the field of smart cities and regions on the basis of the development of the smart government agenda within the previous programming period? Can the Slovak Republic implement funds in smaller municipalities? This research article will try to answer these questions through the use of statistical calculations and data obtained from the Slovak smart city index.
