CzechInvest Ignites Defence Innovation with Launch of DEFENCE HUB
Responding to the impetus of the NATO DIANA initiative, the DEFENCE HUB will serve as a central information and acceleration hub, fostering collaboration between startups, established commercial entities, and state institutions. This dynamic platform will empower innovators to develop cutting-edge solutions that address critical Defence challenges and drive economic growth through dual-use applications.
"I am pleased that we are successfully bringing the Defence Hub to life in cooperation with the Ministry of Defence. Strengthening CzechInvest's role in this area was one of the things I set out to do when I joined the agency last year," said Jan Michal, CEO of CzechInvest.
"The launch of the DEFENCE HUB marks a pivotal moment for the Czech Republic," stated Leos Mauer DEFENCE HUB´S Director at CzechInvest. "By providing targeted support and fostering collaboration, we are creating an ecosystem where innovation can thrive, strengthening our Defence capabilities, and generating significant economic opportunities."
"The Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic welcomes and supports this initiative," said Radka Konderlová, Director For Industrial Cooperation. "The DEFENCE HUB will be instrumental in fostering the development of advanced technologies that are crucial for our national security and contribute to the broader security of the Alliance."
