Award-winning exhibit - the URBIS 2017 Gold Medal
Gold medals awarded to the best products at trade fairs in Brno have a nearly sixty-year tradition. With a Gold medal you gain a prestigious award that will help you convince customers of the quality of your product or solution. Gold medals are awarded by a judges’ panel that includes international experts.
AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTS IN 2017
Electronic passenger ticketing – Dopravní podnik města Brna, a.s.
The recipient of the first ever URBIS Gold Medal was Dopravní podnik města Brna, a.s. (Brno Public Transit Authority), which in 2016 introduced an electronic ticketing system that identified passengers via payment card. The judges were impressed by the user comfort of the system, the openness of the platform for further expansion, and its security, including protection of the personal data of users.
“In addition to SMS tickets, EOC is another way to cater to passengers and keep up with the times. We are very proud to have received this award and consider it a challenge and commitment to the future. Another great honor for us is the fact that over 39,000 passengers have already purchased electronic tickets.”
(Miloš Havránek, CEO of DPMB, a.s.)

Fair City
Part of the city’s life since 1959, the International Engineering Fair once transformed Brno into a cosmopolitan metropolis full of foreigners, technological innovations and consumer goods ‑ eagerly sought out by hundreds of thousands of visitors who flocked into the Brno Exhibition Centre every year.
Prestige
Although the prestige of the International Engineering Fair certainly endures, today the event is primarily a professional platform enabling the most influential figures in Central European and world engineering to get together. But why can’t the whole of Brno enjoy the occasion as a holiday like it once did?
Brno Fair City
The City of Brno and BVV Trade Fairs Brno (Veletrhy Brno) have put together a project that recalls the time when the whole city lived and breathed the trade fair and was full of hustle and bustle – activities for visitors, exhibitors as well as citizens of Brno.
Pride and Tradition
BRNO FAIR CITY aims to reawaken in Brno’s citizens pride and a respect for tradition of the engineering fair, which has been contributing to Brno’s prosperity and glory for more than half a century. Visitors and exhibitors will then have access to everything Brno offers and will be enticed away from hotel rooms into the lively city centre.
PROGRAMME
Day one of the three-day series introduces the state of the art in the transformation of cities and their administration. Experiences will be shared by world renowned urbanist and architect Ulrik Nielsen and leading architect of Smart Vienna Thomas Madreiter. Time will also be afforded to municipal representatives who are leaders in the H2020 projects focusing on smart cities. There will also be a smart cities presentation from the Eurocities Association.
Day two will present a program of Central European dimension, featuring representatives from each country of the Visegrad Four, and from Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Positive examples of successful projects should provide inspiration for representatives of cities and towns to seek out and implement their own Smart City solutions.
Day three will begin with a half-day program focused on seeking out talented individuals and innovative companies. Presentations will be given by some start-up companies and the session will end with the announcement of the results of the Urbis hackathon.
