Innovation and the development of new capabilities are a key aspect of the modern world, and the Czech Republic must not let the train miss it. Therefore, CEVRO University, in cooperation with partners from the Future Forces Forum (FFF), the Association of Defense and Security Industries (AOBP) and the Center for Transatlantic Relations (PCTR), organized a conference on January 18, 2024 entitled "State-building: innovation or stagnation?", where not only a number of top Czech experts spoke, but also Professor Josh Lerner from Harvard University. "Our goal is to connect experts, entrepreneurs and representatives of the state. Thanks to this platform, we want them to open a discussion about the latest trends and developments in the fields of technology, science and business," says Jiří Š. Cieslar, secretary for postgraduate studies at CEVRO University, on behalf of the conference organizers. "We want to contribute to the exchange of ideas and cooperation between different sectors in order to promote innovative thinking and its application in practice. The conference will also offer the possibility of networking, during which participants can establish new contacts and expand their professional networks," adds Pavel Štalmach, security analyst from CEVRO University. The conference was moderated by František Mičánek, a reserve brigadier general from CEVRO University. The opening speech was delivered by Ivan Langer, Chairman of the Board of Directors of CEVRO University.
