ULI Poland/Czech Republic

ULI Czech Republic held an extremely interesting panel discussion on "The Role of Transportation Infrastructure in Shaping Real Estate Development" at the Four Seasons Hotel in #Prague, with the participation of leading experts on the subject 💡 The development of the motorway and railway network was jointly discussed by the Minister of Transport Martin Kupka, the Director General of the Road and Motorway Directorate Radek Mátl, the Director General of the Railway Administration Jiří Svoboda and representatives of the private sector Jakub Kodr MRICS, Head of Business Development at CTP, and Radek Kucera, Founding Partner of ULI Czech Republic and Partner at Grafton Property Partners.

ULI Czech Republic had the great pleasure of uniting some of the most important business people in the Karlovy Vary region during the 58th #KVIFF last Monday; our esteemed speakers included Petr Kulhánek, President of the regional council, Pavel Sovicka of Panattoni, Lukáš Zrůst, Founder of Progresus Invest Holding , Michal Kristof from CHYBIK + KRISTOF ARCHITECTS, Pavel Tomek of SUAS GROUP and moderator Radek Kucera🌳 The discussion revolved around how infrastructure such as the D6, the potential opening of the public university in Karlovy Vary and potential public utilities such as hospital extension can spur growth in the region. Additionally, attendees and speakers discussed how the private and public sectors can collaborate in the rejuvenation of the vast #brownfield sites in the area. The positive effect of responsive and decisive public officials when considering investors and private sector participation in the region was also a key discussion point, showcased by swift last-minute support from the Mayor of Karlovy Vary, Andrea Pfeffer, who managed to deliver a traditional regional drink "Becherovka" in the last few minutes, and whose participation we are looking forward to in the next year 📍 Thanks again to Progresus Invest Holding and KVIFF for the support of the event and to Forbes for being a great media partner.
