One result of this success story was the founding of the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform for Applied Artificial Intelligence for Materials & Manufacturing at VSB - Technical University of Ostrava in June 2021.

Together with its partners Fraunhofer for Chemical Technology ICT in Pfinztal and VSB - Technical University of Ostrava, this platform is intended to accelerate research in the fields of innovative energy technology and the development and introduction of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 process technology and to support the increasingly important material technology challenges for high-end applications in a wide range of industrial application areas.

With the first German-Czech Business Meeting, we want to facilitate the initiation and further development of economic networks. New ideas are to be discussed, supported directly by the respective funding institutions on this day and structured into new projects. The aim of the meeting is to promote cooperation with existing expertise and to initiate newly developed ideas directly with the relevant experts from the funding institutions in the Czech Republic and Germany, especially in the short term. In addition, this day should also invite students and specialists to identify opportunities in the companies and offer internships, project and diploma theses, doctoral positions and jobs.

Ab der Saison 2025/2026 wird der bekannte tschechische Dirigent Tomáš Netopil der neue Chefdirigent und Musikdirektor der Prager Symhoniker. Er übernimmt damit symbolisch den Chefdirigentenstab vom derzeitigen Chefdirigenten des Orchesters, Tomáš Brauner.

„Prag war für mich schon immer eine große Quelle des reichen kulturellen Lebens und der Musik im Allgemeinen, und das wird es auch bleiben. Das Orchester der Prager Symphoniker, das die Musik ständig pflegt und veredelt, gehört zu Recht zum Besten, das Prag zu bieten hat. Es ist für mich eine große Ehre und Freude, dass sich unsere künstlerischen Wege vereinen und wir gemeinsam das reiche Potenzial dieses großartigen Orchesters weiterentwickeln werden und dabei den Zuhörern nicht nur in Prag, sondern in der gesamten Tschechischen Republik und im Ausland Freude bereiten können. Unser gemeinsamer Weg wird für mich ein wunderschönes und neues künstlerisches Kapitel sein,“ sagt Tomáš Netopil, derzeit noch gastierender Hauptdirigent der Tschechischen Philharmonie und bis zur vergangenen Saison auch Generalmusikdirektor des Aalto Musiktheaters und der Philharmonie Essen.
