Three programmes to drive sustainable positive impact
Our mission to connect people to create sustainable positive impact on well-being and prosperity is coming to fruition. In addition to many events and activities, we are running three programmes aimed at different target groups to drive change:
- On the Road to Smart Industry
- Creative Heroes Award
- Young Professionals Charter
The programme On the Road to Smart Industry will enter its next phase. The study into Czech-Dutch cooperation in this area has been finished, resulting in the “2021-2023 Czech-Dutch Action Agenda for the Industry; Integrated Smart Industries for Recovery in Europe”. The study has been presented to and discussed between the Czech and Dutch governments. A task force will now be created, and the next steps will be announced soon.
Our second programme, the Creative Heroes Award Czech Republic is in full preparation for its kick-off event on 14 October 2021. An Impact Hub Accelerator Programme for the winners, as well as a Creative Heroes Pavilion during the Future Port Prague event in September 2022 are the next steps in this programme.
If you would like to support and associate yourself with the Creative Heroes Award programme and sustainable positive impact, please read more about the opportunities.
The setting up of our third programme, the NCCC Young Professionals Charter, is in full swing. Dedicated webpages are online and please, do not miss our launch event on 9 September 2021: The Future of Us.
During the second quarter of 2021 we welcomed a new corporate member: KOGAA Architects.
In addition, ECR joined as an NGO member. We also welcomed 12 Young Professionals! See who they are here.
Stay tuned for more, check out our events and join us on our journey to create sustainable positive impact!

Peer Learning Workshop with Hackerly
6 May 2021
Online via Zoom
Not having time means you do not have priorities. In small networking groups of 3-4 people, and with support of a video guide, we found out during discussions with our peers that it is what you do not do that provides the space for what you can do. The key is to ask yourself the right questions that help you prioritize and navigate yourself to focus on the really meaningful things.
