The jury composed of representatives of the business community, investors and organizers evaluated the commercial potential of research projects from Czech universities and other research organizations.
The aim of the event is to connect business and science in order to obtain feedback on the commercial readiness of projects and, in the future, to obtain funding for promising scientific projects.
For the final round of the competition, 13 scientific research projects were selected. In addition to teams from the CTU in Prague, the competition was attended by scientific teams from the National Institute of Mental Health, the Institute of Physical Chemistry J. Heyrovský Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Palacký University in Olomouc, University of Hradec Králové, Brno University of Technology, Hradec Králové University Hospital, University of Mining - Technical University Ostrava, Masaryk University, Institute of Structure and Mechanics of Rocks of the CAS, Institute of Geonics of the CAS and University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.
