„The year 2024 has shown us how important it is to continuously innovate and adapt our offerings to the needs of our visitors. One of our greatest successes was the attendance, which reached a record 495 thousand people, and the educational programs that involved over 65 thousand students and teachers. Among our key activities was also the student competition Business Talent, which supported the creativity and entrepreneurial skills of students. These projects are an example of how we combine fun with quality education and inspire the exploration of new topics,“ said the director of iQLANDIA, Václav Dostál.
