Programme

In the last twenty years, the South Moravian Region has established itself as a region of European importance in the field of research, development and innovative entrepreneurship. The current ambition is to build on results and focus on public sector innovation. This innovation should respond to the basic long-term needs of the region, mainly preparation for the systemic solution of environmental challenges and support of smart solutions for the transformation of health and social services within one generation. Participants will acquaint with the starting points, course and current state of work on this concept of a smart region in South Moravia.

The history of Brno‘s investments in innovation dates back to 2009 when Brno for the first time supported projects for the development of innovations, such as „Brno PhD. Talent“ or „Innovation vouchers“. Since then we draw key stakeholders into the discussion about priority needs and topics so our city develops into an innovative living lab. Our vision is that the city is the „customer zero“ for solutions that are developed by local firms or research organizations so we can work together on the implementation of innovative solutions.

The city of Židlochovice is very active in implementing innovative solutions in the field of sustainability and technology. The goals in the currently developed residential district „Chytré Líchy“ is to achieve carbon neutrality, significant savings in drinking water and a reduction in individual transportation through technological and social innovation. Židlochovice is becoming a living lab where we are open to testing solutions leading to the achievement of these goals and making life easier, including the application of AI.
