This paper examines the indirect effects of the foreign direct investment, commonly referred to as spillovers, in Slovakia. It provides a theoretical framework of this phenomenon reviewing existing literature on the topic that presents some experiences of the Slovak companies over the last decade regarding spillovers and describes qualitative research of spillovers in the Slovak automotive industry. The results show that spillovers are present only through backward linkage, which is related to the technology transfer from the foreign customer to the domestic supplier.
