As part of the state visit of the Dutch royal couple to the Czech Republic and on the occasion of the Czech-Dutch Business Forum, a Creative Heroes Strategic Session took place. The event was held in the inspiring environment of the HiLASE laser center in Dolní Břežany and brought together the winners of all three editions of the Creative Heroes Award with CEOs of key companies that have long supported this platform.
During the session, participants from both the Creative Heroes and business communities had the opportunity to present their projects, needs, and the challenges they face. This created a dynamic and stimulating exchange, opening up new possibilities for collaboration. Examples of past successful partnerships were also shared and discussed.
A special moment occurred when selected representatives of the Creative Heroes, supporting companies, and the Netherlands-Czech Chamber of Commerce—organizer of the Creative Heroes Award—had the honor of introducing the initiative to Her Majesty Queen Máxima and the Czech presidential couple. Their thoughtful questions and insightful remarks made the encounter exceptionally inspiring and enjoyable.
The entire event was characterized by a creative, friendly, and open atmosphere. It offered a great opportunity to connect, inspire, and spend meaningful time together.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Prague for hosting and organizing the event, as well as to the team at HiLASE for their support and hospitality. We truly appreciate everyone who took part—and we look forward to building on this momentum in the future.
