GCEF 2024 is behind us! Mind-blowing, Inspiring, Exciting and... Sexy
What do AI and SEX have in common!? Both are exciting and a bit frightening at the same time – one of many memorable remarks and take aways from the talk between our moderator Petr Šimůnek and AI expert Filip Drimalka at the yesterday's German Czech Economic Forum on Digitalization & AI.
We are so grateful for the “sexy”, thought-provoking and mind-blowing GCEF, huge thanks to all brilliant speakers. We are sure that many of the guest woke up in the morning and still had AI on their minds together with To-Do List for the next steps.
The opening speeches by Dr. Anna Christmann from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Lukáš Vlček, the new Minister of Industry and Trade, confirmed the strong partnership between Germany and the Czech Republic and their willingness to deepen cooperation in the field of digitalization and AI.
We kicked off with Berlin futurologist Jan Berger, who brought insights on how emerging technologies reshape industries worldwide. While Europe is playing catch-up, his message is clear: data sovereignty in software and cloud solutions is the way to get in the game again!
Filip Drimalka made clear that AI is a major work-cultural shift. Start small, simple prompts, standardize, and make AI a part of everyday tasks. Take your time, you need it, says Filip. With the right AI tools, talented people can accomplish more than ever.
Thanks to all our #PartnerForDigitalization for their exciting discussions on “Business Models and AI” and “AI and the Human Factor” Juraj Svorada, Besart Shala, Matthias Schulze, David Kalab, Pavel Boháč, Peter Podprocky and Lubos Lukasik.
Thanks to everybody who joined to make this event unforgettable!

EFFICIENT & RESILIENT
Driving Tomorrow's Industry
Economic conference by the German Czech Chamber of Industry and Commerce (AHK)
during the Czech presidency of the EU-Council 2022
Thank you all!!!
This was a special day! Key players and decision-makers of the German-Czech economy gathered in Prague at the German Czech Economic Forum to jointly discuss and present solutions and strateries for a successful adaptation in times of crisis and the transformation of the industry.
The keynotes of German Economy Minister Robert Habeck and Škoda Auto CEO Klaus Zellmer clearly showed: the importance and potential of German-Czech economic cooperation are enormous. Both made it clear that sustainability will not be sidelined in times of crisis, but part of the solution. We are very grateful for the valuable and rare input of both speakers.
The power of dialogue: Panel discussions, workshops and round tables showed that business is oriented towards the future and solutions even in difficult times. We must face the challenges together, both at the business and national level. Therefore, it is an important signal that the Czech Minister of Industry and Trade, Jozef Síkela, also spoke at the GCEF. Vice-Chancellor Habeck paid tribute to the Czech government for how well the country handles the role of the EU Council presidency. Czech Republic has proven itself as a moderator in the search for common European solutions, e.g. in the issue of the energy crisis. This is not a given!
Many thanks to all of our Partners.
And last but not least: many thanks to all 350 guests. See you soon and until then ... stay resilient!
