FROM TURBINES TO (ANTI)VIRUSES

From a place that once dressed the world and boasts more than 250 years of industrial tradition, the #brnoregion has become the Czech centre of innovation. The region's success is based both on its ability to build on its strong historical know-how and on its exceptional links with universities and research centres.  
 

"Brno region has a truly privileged position in this. My colleagues abroad often do not even realise that the astronomically expensive instruments they use for their research come from Brno. I cannot think of another city where advertisements for research and development jobs are routinely played on the tram. That makes us really special."
