On Tuesday, June 20, the EDIH Twister Vol II: Czech & Slovak edition took place at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of STU in Bratislava, and we had the opportunity to participate. The presentation day focused on the importance of supporting digital transformation and fostering collaboration between Czech and Slovak European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs).
This event featured presentations, lectures, discussions, and demonstrations of services offered by our EDIHs to support digital transformation. Key topics included innovation support, emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.
The event served as a valuable opportunity for mutual exchange of experiences, ideas, and best practices in the field of innovation support. It provided a unique platform for establishing new partnerships and strengthening existing collaborations between Czech and Slovak EDIHs.
EDIH CASSOVIUM was represented by Miroslav Janák, who introduced our consortium, highlighting its strong expertise, technological and sectoral focus, as well as the services we will soon be launching for businesses and public sector organizations.
We also took part in a guided tour of the National Centre of Robotics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, STU in Bratislava. Among other things, this event marked the beginning of deeper Czech-Slovak cooperation in the field of digital innovation support.
Main organizers of the event were CyberSecurity Hub and CzechInno.
We would like to thank the organizers for their efforts in holding such important forums for cooperation between innovation ecosystems.
