On June 15-19, 2026, representatives of APPAU and the Ukrainian industrial community will take part in the 4th Smart Industry Mission to the Czech Republic.

The mission is organized by the Czechinno Association with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic. The initiative aims to deepen cooperation between Ukrainian and Czech industrial, innovative and digital ecosystems, as well as the development of contacts launched during previous missions.

This year’s program envisages the participation of a selected group of 10 Ukrainian industrial stakeholders. Participants will have the opportunity to visit the Czech EDIH and TEF test beds and landfills, as well as get acquainted with their opportunities for testing, training and implementation of digital solutions in industry.

A special focus of the mission is the support of Ukrainian SMEs and MID-CAP companies operating in the industrial sector and are interested in implementing Smart Industry technologies, digitization of production, cybersecurity and innovative solutions for enterprise modernization.

APPAU, together with the Ukrainian Cluster Alliance, is one of the key contacts on the Ukrainian side to coordinate the participation of Ukrainian representatives in the mission.

Participation in Smart Industry Mission is an important opportunity for Ukrainian companies to deepen cooperation with Czech partners, get acquainted with practical tools to support industrial digitalization and expand international contacts within the European innovation ecosystem.

APPAU continues to support the integration of Ukrainian industry into European programs of cooperation, testing and implementation of advanced digital technologies.
