Brno: A Thriving Hub for Business Growth
Nestled in the heart of Europe, the city of Brno has earned its reputation as a dynamic hub for business growth. With 24% of its business centers boasting more than 500 people, a vibrant network of university centers, and robust government support, Brno stands as a strategic powerhouse in the development of Czech business services.
These are some of the reasons why we decided to open a new office in Brno back in 2022, and this is why so many companies are doing the same or expanding their existing operations.
It is only fitting, that ABSL Czech Republic has decided for their 10th Annual Conference the vibrant setting of Brno as the venue for their flagship event, this year more than ever packed with valuable insights from industry leaders.
2 intensive days, over 500 attendees and more than 80 speakers filled the halls and rooms of the Marriot hotel in Brno.
Damas Engineering had a strong presence this year, with a delegation of 5 senior leaders, including our CEO Alessio Colantonio, President & Founder Luca Matrone, Country Head for Turkey Levent Kececi, Head of Software Strahinja Lekic and Senior Engineer Miodrag Stojanovic. This also meant that 4 out of our 5 locations were represented at the conference, a great opportunity to share knowledge and insights.
There were plenty of illustrious guests and interesting topics to pick from.
