Czech Startup Week New York introduced 7 Czech startups to the USA
Our startups got a unique opportunity to present their innovations, make contacts with investors and test their potential for entering the US market at Czech Startup Week New York.
The aim of the event was to bring together startups, investors and political representatives to accelerate innovation and promote economic growth. The conference was a unique opportunity to meet the Czech startup community, among whose representatives was Nilmore, a sustainable textile manufacturer incubated in the Technology Incubation project.
In addition to thematic lectures, the main programme included excursions, panel discussions, an expo involving startups, cities and organisations, and a networking area. Markéta Mentelová, Director of Creative Hub, and Filip Krůta, Director of EcoTech Hub, led a panel discussion titled “Time to invest into the Gaming and the Eco Stuff”, as the title suggests, the discussion revolved around investing into startups dealing with gaming and sustainability, in the panel we also introduced the Technology Incubation project and the startup data we have available from it. Jan Bízik, Director of the Mobility Innovation Hub, discussed together with other speakers (Jiří Linhart, Vitesco Technologies; Patrick Dufour, Wirtschaftsförderung Raum Heilbronn GmbH; Václav Juříček, Brano) in a panel discussion on the topic “The Future of Mobility”, which was moderated by Libor Dobeš, Executive Director of the Moravian-Silesian Automotive Cluster.
