URBIS

The URBIS 2026 trade fair and conference will take place on 2–4 June 2026 at the Brno Exhibition Centre, offering cities and municipalities of all sizes a unique concentration of practical solutions, inspiration, and opportunities for cooperation. The entire event will be located in Pavilion V, where visitors will find two programme stages, exhibitor stands, and demonstrations of technologies in real-life operation. URBIS has long been one of the key meeting points for Czech and international local governments, experts, companies, and innovators, who come together to share concrete approaches and tools applicable to the everyday practice of cities and municipalities-without the need for complex investments or heavy administrative burdens.

ReKáva, a Czech startup combining design, education and the circular economy, will present its unique concept of living mushroom walls and mushroom-growing systems made from spent coffee grounds at URBIS 2026. The project demonstrates how common bio waste can gain new meaning and become part of modern schools, companies and public spaces in cities and municipalities.

ALFA PROFI s.r.o. specializes in the sales and servicing of equipment for year-round maintenance of municipalities, urban green spaces, and forest areas. At URBIS 2026, the company will present the EVUM aCar utility electric vehicle with 4x4 drive, distinguished by its versatility and durability.

DigiDay Czech s.r.o. is a Czech manufacturer of digital panels, LED screens, and navigation systems, with more than 1,500 installations across the corporate and public sectors.

VR Rescue brings a modern and practical approach to first aid education through virtual reality.

NeoPolisTech is a Slovenian technology company. Our flagship platform, NeoPolis OS, enables municipalities to launch their own branded smart city app — under their own name and developer account, with the same multimodal mobility and multi-layer city map experience that powers our reference app across Slovenia.

Mgr. Dalibor Smažinka, MBA, LL.M. is one of the leading Czech experts in smart city security. For twenty years, he has focused on security technologies, physical protection, and the integration of security with modern data and sensor-based solutions. As a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Safety Engineering at VŠB–Technical University of Ostrava and a long-term partner of Axis Communications, he specializes in the use of intelligent technologies for crime prevention, shortening the response times of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS), and building cities that are safe, resilient, and at the same time open.

The basic prerequisite for the long-term development of any municipality is a stably funded and well-managed school. However, the role of founders is changing dramatically. Mayors are no longer just administrators of school buildings, but are becoming key drivers of regional education quality. This growing responsibility, which fully resonates with the goals of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MŠMT) and the vision of Strategy 2030+, is reflected in the "School as the Engine of the Region" conference. The event will take place on June 4 at the Brno Exhibition Centre as part of the URBIS The Smart Cities Meetup fair. 

Reuse centres are among the most visible and at the same time most practical tools through which cities and municipalities can prevent waste generation. Their basic principle is simple: to give items that would otherwise end up as waste a second life. Furniture, household equipment, sports gear or construction materials can thus serve new users once again. Reuse centres support the circular economy, save natural resources and household expenses, and contribute to social cohesion in cities.

Earth Day, celebrated every year on April 22, is a global call for a more responsible approach to our planet. Since 1970, it has drawn attention to the impacts of human activity on the environment and has promoted the search for solutions in the areas of climate protection, sustainable development, and quality of life. Cities—where the majority of the world’s population now lives—play a key role in achieving these goals. They are both sources of innovation and places where environmental challenges are most intensely concentrated.

22 March – World Water Day reminds us that access to safe drinking water and sustainable water management is one of the essential prerequisites for public health, stability, and the development of society. And although water is a fundamental human need, the world continues to face a severe water crisis.

During the second day of the URBIS 2026 conference, two expert blocks will focus on urban safety, modern technologies, and practical experience from Czech cities. These panels will offer both a strategic view of integrating safety into the Smart City concept and concrete examples of everyday solutions in public order and municipal security.
