Latest news from #brnoregion

This year, we commemorate two significant anniversaries at once. On January 29, Prof. Ing. Armin Delong, DrSc., would have celebrated his 100th birthday, and it has been exactly 100 years since the dawn of electron microscopy in our country. Join us in celebrating the scientific tradition in Brno that has propelled the city among the world’s “microscopy capitals”.

Brno rivals more well-known startup hubs across Europe.

A former HR leader with a background in cybernetics, Eva Vacíková found her way into the Brnoregion Microscopy community through a unique blend of technology-driven passion and professional experience. During her time at Thermo Fisher (formerly FEI), she became deeply engaged in supporting the global microscopy ecosystem. Now, as a member of the Innovation Centre in Brno, she focuses on nurturing talent to drive innovation, while championing Brno as a global leader in microscopy. Her dedication not only strengthens the community but also brings her the fulfillment of fostering growth, collaboration, and excellence in this specialized field.

Brno-based startup DYNANIC, born at the Brno University of Technology (VUT), has secured a €550,000 investment from deeptech fund Tensor Ventures and a group of angel investors, including former experts from Dell, AMD, Intel, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This marks the first investment from Tensor Ventures’ newly launched second fund.

Globally-minded entrepreneurs who are seeking to start up or expand a business in Europe often begin their search for the perfect locale in powerhouse tech hubs like Berlin, Stockholm, and London, or up-and-coming innovation ecosystems like Lisbon or Valencia.
