Panel discussion: Cutting Through the AI Noise: Building Global Tech from Prague
„Just add AI“ — they say. But what happens when you actually need to deliver? Meet Apify and Make, two Czech tech companies who turned smart automation into worldwide success without jumping on every hype train. How do you navigate global markets and investors while staying TRUE to your vision? Join us for this reality check where Lenka from prg.ai gets candid with companies that prove Czech tech can compete on the global stage — and win.
Speakers:
Honza Ženíšek, Apify, VP of Product
Patrik Šimek, Make, Co-Founder & CTO
Lenka Kučerová, prg.ai, Deputy Director (host)
Speed-dating
⚠️ Speed-dating starts at 7 PM. Each month investors and mentors provide four exclusive 10-minute slots for startups. These sessions allow startups to pitch their ideas, discuss their business models, and explore potential partnerships or investment opportunities. Startups can select the investor or mentor they want to meet based on their expertise or focus area.
We strongly recommend preparing ahead of time to make the most of these 10 minutes. Research the investor or mentor you’re meeting with, understand their portfolio, and learn about their areas of interest. This preparation will help you tailor your pitch and maximize the value of the meeting. Remember, this could be a life-changing opportunity, so use the time wisely! Please note that meetings may be canceled if the fit is not suitable for the mentor/investor.
