For the year 2025, we are using the "URBIS - The Smart Cities Meetup" in Brno as an opportunity for a more extensive networking offer in the Czech Republic, consisting of a Bavarian stand at the trade fair and a delegation trip for interested visitors to the trade fair.
Bayern Innovativ has maintained a close exchange with Czech Smart Cities & Regions stakeholders for many years. Since 2021, annual exchange formats have been held alternately in Bavaria and the Czech Republic. In the meantime, several transnational projects such as Polygon, PilotInnCities, Hydromun or QuantumNetX have been successfully initiated.
For 2025, we are taking the "URBIS - The Smart Cities Meetup" in Brno as an opportunity for a more extensive networking offer in the Czech Republic, consisting of a Bavarian stand at the trade fair and a delegation trip for interested visitors to the trade fair. The aim is to present our Bavarian Smart Cities and Regions companies and projects with their solutions at the trade fair. With the delegation trip, we are providing a comprehensive program for interested experts from companies, universities and municipalities to obtain information on a wide range of focus topics. In addition, we want to network players from the Czech Republic and other (Eastern) European countries, position innovative solutions from or for these countries and initiate cooperation.
