Prague to Receive CZK 118 Million in Funding for New Footbridges and Bike Paths

Targeted subsidies for the construction of the so-called sustainable transport infrastructure were approved by the Prague City Council and the funding given will be split amongst the ten city districts. Prague 11 will receive the most funding- almost CZK 60 million.  The capital has set aside funding to support long-term sustainable mobility infrastructure projects, which are mostly hiking and biking trails.  A total of eleven projects are ready for immediate construction, and two city districts have been awarded subsidies for the preparation of project documentation with expected implementation in the coming years. “Long-term support for bicycle and pedestrian transport has positive effects on the environment and local health, and Prague is trying to support it,” said the Deputy Mayor of Prague and the City of Prague for Transport Adam Scheinherr. “It is important to support city development when there are projects ready. This will fulfill what we promised to Prague residents when approving the Sustainable Mobility Plan of May 2019,” he adds. The key supported investment is the construction and reconstruction of two footbridges across Opatovská Street in Jižní Město The Otík footbridge will be completely reconstructed on the basis of a project prepared by the city district of Prague 11....

The New Successful Food Recycling Program for Prague Restaurants

Since autumn 2021, Prague restaurants have been able to use the city’s system of distribution and collection of food waste containers. Unlike bio-waste – the exclusively biodegradable waste of plant origin, food waste also includes residues of food of animal origin (meat, bones, pastries, etc.). It is even possible to dispose of food waste with packaging in the food container. The collected kitchen waste is then processed and used in a biogas plant, producing energy as the primary, and agricultural fertilizer as the secondary product. Consistent separating of food waste could potentially reduce the total volume of municipal waste by up to 20%. Following the pilot project of food waste collection, launched in Prague in December 2019, the capital city came up with the introduction of the kitchen waste collection from school canteens in autumn 2021. Since October 2021, private companies such as restaurants, canteens, bistros, etc. have also been able to join the city’s collection system. The Červený Jelen restaurant has been sorting and collecting food waste since its opening in October 2019. “Food waste collecting is the most expensive of all waste items, but it was still a clear choice for us. We consider food waste sorting to be necessary nowadays,” comments Jiří Bednář, the Červený Jelen (Red Stag) Restaurant...

Turandot prague national theater

The National Theatre in Prague Presents: Turandot

The National Theatre of Prague presents Turandot, an opera by Giacomo Puccini which is based on the eponymous commedia dell’arte play by Carlo Gozzi. The opera had its grand opening on January 23rd, 2020, and returns to the National Theatre historical building for another performance.  Turandot is Giacomo Puccini’s final opera and is deemed to be the “last of the Mohicans” of the Golden Age of Italian Romantic opera. The story goes that Turandot, daughter of Emperor Altoum, has decreed that she will only marry if a suitor of noble blood can answer three riddles. If he cannot, the price shall be his head. Her most recent suitor, the Prince of Persia, is to be executed at the moon’s rising. Turandot is one of opera’s biggest blockbusters. It shows themes of passionate love and unrelenting hatred.  The plot unfolds to music of extraordinary brilliance, including Nessun dorma, the most popular of all Italian tenor arias. The opera will be sung in Italian, but there will be Czech and English subtitles for the expat audience.  There will be performances running throughout February, as well as a performance in March and in May. For tickets visit The National Theatre’s website for more...

Prague Wants to Create New 9,801 Kg Bell

People can contribute to the creation of a replicable bell to commemorate thousands of Czech church and tower bells stolen, and melted down by the Nazis in summer 1942, from which they made weapons. The bell will weigh 9,801 kilograms and be located on Rohanský Island. The bell will be the second largest in the metropolis after Sigismund’s bell and is an initiative of the Sanctus Castulus association, the initiators of the project told the press today. “The bell has been a part of our culture since the early Middle Ages to the present day. It plays not only a signal but also a social role. The bells are associated with many important events in our history and many destinies. Therefore, war requisitions meant not only the devastation of bells, but also society and human ties, “said Ondřej Boháč, chairman of the Sanctus Castulus association. The location on Rohanský Island is tentatively planned for 2024, after which the bell will be taken care of by the capital, where the initiative wants to donate it. The project was supported last year by the Committee for Culture of the Prague City Hall, and according to Boháč, it has the support of the...

10 Promising Czech Startups to Keep an Eye On in 2022

The Czech startup boom began in 2010 when new projects and accelerators popped up. Now, the country is not only a ‘gateway’ to other European hubs like Berlin and Vienna, but also has a healthy and strong presence of innovation hubs, incubators and accelerators itself.  Last year, the Czech startup scene saw some big deals – such as when online grocery startup Rohlik raised $100 million, becoming a Czech unicorn. In addition, Prague-based SaaS startup Rossum announced $100 million, one of the largest ever Series A rounds to come out of eastern Europe. These are all startups that have launched fairly recently (after late-2017) and are offering innovative solutions. Resistant AI – Prague-based Resistant AI is a SaaS-based AI and machine learning security company that protects financial services from manipulation, fraud and financial crime.

Prague Airport to Stop Announcing Flights to Ukraine in the Russian Language

The decision was made at the request of the Ukrainian Embassy. From February 1, Prague airport will cease to use the duplication of information in Russian language when announcing flights to Ukraine. The announcements will be only in Czech and English. The airport management met the request of the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Czech Republic Yevgeny Perebiynis. “I admit that we have long tried to change this practice because we believe that there is no logic in duplicating information into Russian. The airport always told us that it is done at the request of airlines, as well as out of concern for transit passengers,” he said. “In our opinion, the first point underestimates the Ukrainian citizens, who, I am sure, as well as citizens of other countries, are able to understand basic announcements in Czech or English. Moreover, Russian citizens do not fly through Ukraine, because air links between our country and the aggressor have long been canceled. If we are talking about passengers of third countries, then again, most of them understand the language of international communication – English,” he adds. In turn, Prague Airport spokeswoman Klára Divíšková confirmed that in the terminal halls the announcements are in...

Heliport on the Vltava River

Prague to Build Floating Heliport on the Vltava River

On 31 January, Prague City announced that it will proceed with its plans to build a heliport on the Vltava River. The heliport will operate as a landing site exclusively for the Air Rescue Service. At the moment, the General University Hospital in Prague (VFN) does not have an appropriate heliport where Air Rescue Services can transport patients in need of urgent assistance. Commenting on this, Director of VFN David Feltl explained that helicopters are currently landing in Zítkovy sady near Palackého náměstí. However, this site has proven to be inappropriate and unsafe as cultural events and markets often take place there. With the construction of a new landing site, the park in Zítkovy sady will then be able to return to its previous state, welcoming more visitors. It is important to note that the heliport on the Vltava River will only be a temporary solution as VFN is planning to build a landing site for Air Rescue Service on the roof of the hospital within the next ten years. Furthermore, VFN will not be the only hospital that will benefit from the floating heliport as the nearby Institute for Mother and Child Care in Podolí will also have access to the landing site. In a press release,...

Paternoster prague

Face Your Fear in Prague’s “Elevator of Death”: The Paternoster

If you’ve travelled through some of the more historical office and government buildings in Prague, you might have come across a dangerous-looking elevator that doesn’t have a door, nor does it stop at each floor as it passes by. That would be the paternoster, which moves in a continual loop as passengers brave enough to step onto the doorless cubicle can board once the platform is within stepping range, and disembark when it brings them to their floor. Here’s one of Prague’s paternoster elevators at work, located at the Lucerna passage off of Wenceslas Square:   It certainly looks dangerous, in any event, when one imagines the kind of carnage that might befall a stray limb should it get caught between the lift and a floor. But most paternosters are equipped with security features that should prevent that from happening. The individual parts of the elevator give way should anything become trapped in them, and immediately stop the lift from continuing its journey. If you don’t make it off the elevator by the time it reaches the top floor, don’t worry – you won’t actually be crushed to death in the gears as the lift makes its way back around....

IBM Artificial Intelligence Centre Opens in Prague 

The world-famous company IBM has opened a new center in Prague for the research and development of artificial intelligence and data processing.  Whilst they have opened this new centre here in Prague, they have also opened two IBM Client Engineering centres in Moscow and Warsaw- which will be extremely valuable to the company in the near future.  The Czech Republic ranks first in Europe in terms of the implementation and demonstration of artificial intelligence. Artificial Intelligence is proven to be popular in the Czech Republic, as 40 percent of Czech companies use elements of this technology compared to the rest in Europe which sits at an average of 25%.  This is due to the high volume and density of online stores which use this technology to communicate with customers. This is also popular in the telecommunications and banking industries, and any industry where chatbots are used frequently to communicate with customers.  These centres will provide sustainable and comprehensive customer service, with a high level of technical skills and speed. This will create jobs for data scientists and security experts, as well as developers.  “IBM is a business incubator which will allow clients to achieve their goals much faster- we want...
