Central Europe's largest innovation festival: 15,000+ attendees over three days at CSOB Campus in Prague, 1-3 October.

Draws founders, investors, corporate innovators and government representatives from across Central and Eastern Europe.
Innovation Week (Týden inovací) is an annual innovation festival held in Prague, described as one of the largest innovation gatherings in Central and Eastern Europe. The 2026 edition runs 1-3 October at CSOB Campus in Prague. With 15,000+ attendees across four stages and 400+ speakers, it operates at a significantly larger scale than specialist AI or developer conferences. The programme spans artificial intelligence, sustainability and entrepreneurship, with a broad audience including startup founders, corporate innovators, investors, developers and government representatives. The format combines keynotes, workshops and networking across three full days.
Programme areas across four stages:
Confirmed speakers for 2026 include Abran Maldonado (AI expert, OpenAI ambassador) and Ryan James Kemp, alongside 400+ additional speakers drawn from tech, business and public sector.
The festival draws a broad and mixed audience:
The CSOB Campus location in Prague, a growing European tech hub, concentrates Central European innovation community participation.
At 15,000+ attendees, Innovation Week operates at a different scale from most European developer or AI conferences. It functions as a macro-level gathering for the Central European innovation ecosystem, with broad topical coverage rather than deep technical specialisation. For attendees seeking depth in AI engineering or data science, the scale and generalist format mean the event functions as a networking and trend-scanning event rather than a technical education venue.
Both. The programme mixes technology content (AI, digital transformation) with business and entrepreneurship content (startup funding, corporate strategy, sustainability). Attendees range from technical professionals to business leaders and government officials.
Yes, though the event is rooted in the Czech and Central European innovation ecosystem. International speakers and attendees participate, and Prague's growing position as a CEE tech hub attracts European-wide participation.
