Last November, we had the chance to bring a little bit of the global Slovak tech story back home. Under the slovaks.ai project, we welcomed Niko Dubovsk\u00fd, a member of our community, to Slovakia, where he visited Skyro, a Slovak school focused on modern education. Niko spent time with students, shared his journey, and most importantly, showed what is possible when someone is willing to take a risk and stay committed, even when the path is not easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Niko has been living in the United States for several years, where he co-founded SuperCity AI, a startup building a super app that uses artificial intelligence to digitalize city services. As he explained in a student interview published on Instagram<\/a>, the idea behind SuperCity AI grew naturally from his personal interests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cI have always been interested in public administration and public affairs,\u201d Niko said. \u201cAt the same time, I felt that this market and these kinds of services were seriously underserved.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

That combination eventually led to the very first idea behind SuperCity AI. The goal is simple, but powerful: to turn complex city services into something people can understand and use, without frustration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

During the discussion at Skyro, Niko talked openly about his career path and how he ended up in the US. He shared what it is like to build a startup abroad and reflected on his previous work experience at companies like Slido and Cisco, which helped shape how he approaches building products and working with people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Students had plenty of space to ask questions, and they definitely used it. They were curious about entrepreneurship, life abroad, failure, motivation, and what it really takes to build something from scratch. When asked about inspiration, Niko answered honestly:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cI have always been inspired by people who step out of their comfort zone and try something new,\u201d he said. \u201cThat is how I got to most things in my life, by going into situations that felt uncomfortable at first.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The topic of entrepreneurship in the United States came up naturally as well. Niko did not romanticize it, but he was clear about one important difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cBuilding a company is complicated everywhere,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut in the US, there is a very strong environment for entrepreneurship and a lot of general support among people who are just starting their projects.\u201d That kind of encouragement, especially in the early stages, can definitely make a big difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The discussions produced a set of ideas aimed at catalyzing community growth and sustained engagement. The iWhen asked what impressed him most about Skyro, his answer went straight to the students themselves:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cI was struck by how much talent there is here,\u201d Niko said. \u201cI really hope that future generations of people, like these students, can help change our society, or even our country, for the better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

This visit perfectly reflects one of the main goals of slovaks.ai. We want to connect Slovaks living abroad with institutions and communities back home, and help pass valuable experience and knowledge across borders. At the same time, we deeply care about the future of young people in Slovakia. Retaining talent matters. But so does encouraging young people to explore the world, gain experience abroad, and then bring that knowledge back home. We believe these two ideas are not in conflict. They belong together. If we want Slovakia to grow, we need both. Strong local roots and open global minds. And moments like this, when someone like Niko stands in front of young people and shares their real and honest story, remind us why this work matters so much.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
