According to the Global Peace Index, the Czech Republic is the 6th safest country in the world, even safer than Switzerland.

So why is ecosystem here so inspiring and unique?

It is everything together…

Over the past 20 years, 4 Centres of Excellence, 11 Regional Research Centres focused on applications, and 3 Centres of Competence financed through the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic have been established in #brnoregion.

This contributed to high density of educated people, which opens possibility for companies to find enough employees for high-tech spheres. Many government institutions then come with the support and encourage these people to start up their own businesses (5.7% of #brnoregion businesses are companies are no more than three years old). #brnoregion unique ecosystem then helps young and progressive companies grow, meet and so inspire each other.
