Second stage

  • Why are European startups emerging, but their industrial scale, customers and ownership often end up outside Europe? What should be done to change it and where does Czech Republic stand? 

    The session will look at the barriers to scaling clean-tech innovation in Europe - from access to first customers and demonstration sites to growth capital, talent, regulation and market access - and explore what investors, founders and policymakers can do to help promising technologies move from pilot projects to commercially successful European businesses.

    12:30 – 13:50 | Lunch

  • How can cities act as testbeds, lead customers and market makers for sustainable innovations?

    The energy transition, climate adaptation and infrastructure modernisation become tangible in cities. Yet many promising technologies remain trapped in isolated pilots that lack a clear route to procurement, financing and wider deployment. Through technology scouting, challenge-based procurement and collaboration with investors and solution providers, participants will examine how urban needs can be translated into investable projects and how successful pilots can be replicated across cities in Czechia and CEE.
