A place for modern ideas, talents and SMART solutions
On Wednesday, Žilina came alive with innovation, showcasing talents and SMART solutions at the two-day Festival of Innovation 2025, which brings together entrepreneurs, creatives, innovators and talents from Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
The first day of the festival belonged to young entrepreneurs and start-up teams as part of Ynovate Fest, where ten original projects were presented.
The second day was dedicated to business topics and a conference for local governments on the future of cities and municipalities. Participants could attend lectures, panel discussions, networking meetings and presentations of real-world case studies that are turning cities into intelligent ecosystems.
The speakers focused on how technology, innovation and data can make territorial management more efficient, improve the quality of life and bring us closer to the ideal of sustainable and intelligent cities.
The key message, which was also voiced in the speakers’ discussions, was clear:
“Data without interpretation and clarity have no value. What matters is information that can be read. Only on that basis is it possible to make strategic and correct decisions.”
