Strategic Projects

Economic Diplomacy

We systematically connect the Zlín Region with the world, creating strategic partnerships at the level of regions, economic organisations, universities, and businesses.

We bring in business accelerators and support start-ups and regional companies in expanding abroad and finding international partners. We ensure participation in major business events, the most prominent of which is SXSW, the world’s largest technology conference in Texas. We are partners of Opportunity Austin, the most successful American economic development agency.

We further develop these activities through the coordination of international delegations, through which we connect regional businesses, academia, and the public sector with specific partners abroad and facilitate the formation of new collaborations. We focus on building direct connections, sharing expertise, and opening new opportunities for cooperation, innovation, and entry into foreign markets.

These activities contribute to strengthening the region’s international standing and developing long-term partnerships.

We help establish agreements between universities and educational institutions. We cooperate with American universities in Texas, San Antonio, San Diego, New York, and Seattle, and co-organise exchange programmes for students and faculty.

We support the inflow of investment and know-how into the region in connection with the development of high-value-added sectors, and we adapt the education system accordingly in cooperation with universities and schools.

International Partnerships

We establish and develop long-term international partnerships that connect the Zlín Region with key regions, particularly in Texas. We build a bridge between innovation and industrial ecosystems, opening direct access to cooperation, know-how, and new opportunities for businesses, institutions, and talents alike.
