New technologies for tomorrow´s industry
DIH B4I
Vision
Mission
Ambassadors
The main opportunities of Czech industry lie in digitisation, automation, robotics, the use of big data, and artificial intelligence.
Digitization and advanced technologies such as 3D printing and additive production are essential for Czech companies to increase their productivity. The B4I center concentrates the expertise of corporate and academic partners who can help them with digital transformation.
The STAR region is one of the most dynamic science and research regions in the Czech Republic. It is no wonder that a DIH is based here, specializing in additive and other advanced technologies, and the related digitisation of small- and medium-sized enterprises. We are transforming the Czech Republic from an assembly factory into a brain centre.
Czech industry and Czech science must work closely together. Finding a common ground is often complicated as these are two completely different worlds; however, it has become evident that the connection between science and industry is both possible and extremely useful.
Sharing the experience and existing know-how of the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, in the field of material technology within the DIH, opens new opportunities for the development of small- and medium-sized enterprises in the Czech Republic.
CARDAM is a unique research and development centre which proves that collaboration between academia and industry can be very effective. Through our connection with the DIH, we can offer small- and medium-sized enterprises opportunities that will not only increase their competitiveness, but will also open the door to further technological development.

Věslav Michalik
Věslav Michalik was born on 1 March 1963 in Český Těšín. He graduated from the Faculty of Nuclear and Physical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague. He is a physicist and he worked as a researcher at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. After leaving academia, he worked for many years in financial institutions, first as a financial analyst, later as an executive director and a member of the board of directors. Since 2004, he has been the mayor of Dolní Břežany and since 2012, a regional council member for the Central Bohemian Region. As the mayor, he has been able to change the municipality of Dolní Břežany, which once served only residential purposes, into a full-fledged and well-functioning community.
As a regional council member, he wants to help change the negative trend in the region’s development, which has been losing competitiveness since 2008. He believes that there is a need to change the approach being taken towards education, infrastructure, science and research. He also sees the need for making qualitative changes in the current cooperation with the Capital City of Prague. At the commission and committee level, he would like to be helpful in regional development and strategic planning. He has been interested in both areas for a long time and has experience in solving similar issues.
Věslav Michalik is married and has two adult children.
Personal motto: Let’s not be afraid to make decisions. Quickly, conceptually and boldly

I am purposeful, receptive and long-term oriented. I am aware that in business there are many other essential parameters to be cognizant of than just price…I have been securing resources, especially financial ones, for a long time. The combination with tax issues and financial controlling is a vibrant mix.

My research interests lie in the field of advanced optical techniques, innovative materials, interfacial biomolecular interactions, and biomedical systems. Specific topics include: advanced physical methods in modern industry and life sciences; new applications of spectroscopic ellipsometry; optical measurements of phase transformations in solids, polymers and biomaterials; low temperature plasma for biomedical applications; magnetically controlled processes in living objects; and tensile deformation effects in ultrathin perovskite films. I am currently working on developing strong collaboration with industry within the MATCA national competence centre, which focuses on the use of plasma, lasers and additive technology.
