Czech National
Exposition revisited d
Two years ago, the Czech National Expo-
sition premiered at MSV with the motto
Czech Republic: The Country for The Fu-
ture. This year, the exposition roofing sta-
te services to entrepreneurs opened aga-
in at the fair. Experts from 14 state
organizations related to industry or export
promotion were present at the stand for
the whole 5 days: Ministry of Industry and
Trade, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry
of Defense, Ministry of Transport, Cze-
chInvest and CzechTrade agencies, Ex-
port Guarantee and Insurance Corporati-
on, Czech Export Bank, National
Development Bank, Technology Agency
of the Czech Republic, Czech Develop-
ment Agency, Industrial Property Office,
Agency for Business and Innovation and
the Engineering Test Institute. The Czech
National Exposition offered services and
state assistance to companies in every bu-
siness life cycle, from support for start-ups
and business incubators through export
assistance, export financing and insurance
to intellectual property protection, testing
and certification. The exposition also hos-
ted an interesting sideline programme,
including a meeting of entrepreneurs with
the directors of CzechTrade's foreign offi-
ces of – Meeting Point CzechTrade 2021.
Digital Factory 2.0 and
specialized sideline programme d
Digitization was the main topic of the se-
ason, resonating throughout the fair; solu-
tions focused on the industry of the future
were available for viewing around the en-
tire premises. The pandemic has shown us
all that digitization is an absolute must,
and the expo has shifted this topic to an
even higher level two years on. Work with
internal and external data is essential for
the digital transformation of industry, and
the Digital Factory 2.0 exhibition in Hall F
focused on this particular issue. Siemens,
as the project's Golden Partner, and anot-
her twenty digital technology companies
demonstrated how the individual compo-
nents of a digital factory work in practice.
Tens of events took place as part of the
specialized sideline programme – confe-
rences, workshops, seminars, and panel
discussions. Great attention was paid to
the conference "Czech Republic – an In-
dustrial Superpower 2028?", Which ad-
dressed the second technological trans-
formation of the Czech economy. The
Additive Manufacturing Forum 2021 had
a traditionally high attendance, while the
three-day B2B project Contact-Contract,
the Meeting of the Czech-Indonesian Jo-
int Commission for Economic Cooperati-
on, or the Czech-Indonesian Business Fo-
rum and B2B also took place.
Transport and Logistics
and ENVITECH fairs d
The 10th Transport and Logistics trade fa-
ir showed that transport and logistics
companies are also preparing intensively
for the requirements of the digital indust-
ry. A project called Packaging Live de-
monstrated an example of a robotically
controlled packaging line. One of the ex-
hibitors was also the Department for Tran-
sport of the United Kingdom, which infor-
med Czech companies about the
upcoming changes in transport related to
Brexit. The ENVITECH International Fair
for Environmental Protection Technologi-
es with a highlighted topic of circular eco-
nomy also took place concurrently.
Gold medals MSV 2021
for six innovative exhibits d
The best exhibits once again competed
for the prestigious MSV Gold Medals. An
expert evaluation committee awarded six
main prizes to innovative exhibits plus a
Gold Medal for lifelong creative technical
work and innovative achievements – this
was handed to Professor Štefan Kassay.
The Gold Medal in the Production
Machine Innovation category was
