Innomotics held a conference on the sustainability of the Czech industry

Frenštát pod Radhoštěm 11 September 2025

The business conference in Frenštát Innomotics brought together dozens of experts from Czech industrial companies, academia and business.
Frenštát pod Radhoštěm hosted not only famous names of the Czech economy such as Mojmír Hampl, but was also a place where business was combined with the practice of a modern manufacturing plant.

For one day, the Frenštát-based manufacturer of low-voltage electric motors Innomotics became not only a centre of modern industrial production, but also a place of intense discussion about the future of Czech industry. Business conference on “Stability in times of instability: how to ensure the sustainability of Czech industry?” welcomed dozens of experts from Czech industrial companies, academia and business.

The conference participants discussed the topic of the impact of deglobalisation on Europe and the Czech Republic, which was presented by Mojmír Hampl, a leading Czech economist and chairman of the National Budget Council. The resilience of the electrotechnical industry to external or internal economic threats was also addressed, which was evaluated by the President of the Electrotechnical Association Jiří Holoubek, as well as specific innovations in the field of electric motors and production processes.

“Our goal was to connect theory with practice and to show that the stability of the industry starts here – in innovation and in the people who create it every day,” explained Roman Valný, CEO of Innomotics ČR.

And it was not only the need for stability, the economic aspect was also important: “Czech industry today faces a fundamental question: how to survive in times of geopolitical and economic instability. The discussion directly in the production of one of the major Czech companies is a great example of how to look for answers where the industry actually takes place,” said Mojmír Hampl.

Jiří Holoubek, President of the Electrotechnical Association of the Czech Republic, also emphasized the strong industry dimension: ‘The electrotechnical industry is one of the backbone sectors of the Czech economy. If it is to be sustainable, we must look for ways to combine digitalisation, innovation and educated people. This conference has clearly shown that we are not lacking in appetite and potential. And if the potential is combined with practice, as in Innomotics, where they are not afraid to introduce a high level of digitalization or integrate artificial intelligence into production processes, then we have won.”

The emphasis on innovation was carried throughout the conference, not only in the areas of processes and production, but also within the products themselves. Innomotics, for example, presented permanent magnet motors, which, thanks to their design, can have up to 2.5 times more power or be up to three axial heights smaller than a standard asynchronous motor. All this in efficiency class IE5 and even IE6. Thanks to optimised manufacturing and the technologies used, the motor weighs up to 67% less and reduces_CO2 production by up to 53% during production.

However, the plant also presented innovations in production processes. The conference participants had a unique opportunity to look directly into the production facilities of Innomotics and see how modern technologies are translated into everyday practice. The company presented not only digitized and automated production processes, but also advanced tools for efficient production management. Much emphasis was placed on the use of the digital twin of the production plant, which is used not only to monitor operations but also to virtualize the design of production sites, technologies and the installation process itself. In the area of data analytics, Innomotics showed where information obtained from data sources can be used everywhere and how Machine Learning principles can be tested to predict the arrival of new orders. These innovations are not just a vision of the future – they are already a firm part of everyday operations.

“The conference showed that it’s not just about having green technologies, it’s also about how we can adapt to change and to what extent we can find stability in an environment that can be increasingly unpredictable. And connecting industry, technology and open discussion is the right way to strengthen the resilience and long-term competitiveness of Czech industry,” concluded Roman Valný, CEO of Innomotics.
