MY STORY
I have a passion for strategic thinking, effective communication in all its forms, and creative marketing. Throughout my career, I have enjoyed building projects from the ground up, seeking the right direction, and bringing together the right people. Together, we strive to serve a common vision and grow independently in our actions, contributing to the evolution of our beautiful planet.
To date, I have organized over 2,000 events, ranging from seminars and lectures to conferences, fairs, festivals, and more. While many of these events were held in the Czech Republic, I have also taken them abroad, particularly to Germany, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary. I have had the privilege of presenting more than 460 personalities from around the world, allowing them to share their ideas and knowledge with diverse audiences.
I became a sole trader immediately after completing high school and my basic military training. I jumped into the business world, where I have remained ever since. In 2000, I enriched my life with the experience of living in Toronto, Canada, and then I represented the American company Morinda Inc. in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
In 2004, I co-founded the annual Biostyl and Esoterika fairs, which expanded to include Ecoworld in 2008. A couple of years later, in 2011, I took over projects from Incheba and developed them into their current festival format, known as FESTIVAL EVOLUTION. Over time, this project has become one of the largest events in Europe focusing on healthy lifestyles, personal development, and inspiring directions for growth. Festival Evolution occurs twice a year in Prague, and we plan to expand to other cities in the Czech and Slovak Republics. This project is curated and organized by a wonderful team, and it is gratifying to see its development year after year, with the vision gaining depth and strength as time progresses.
I strive to live a healthy life and care for the environment. This commitment is evident in my activities, such as organizing professional conferences on organic farming (Biosummit) and seeking out new marketing and PR opportunities in the bio and eco products sector.
I founded a non-profit organization called FELICIUS, which focuses on organizing cultural and educational events. Additionally, I established the multicultural festival PRAGUE GATES, which offers fresh perspectives on events and reveals hidden dimensions in our surroundings. I also serve as an executive at EVOLUTION HUB, which not only organizes events but also engages in marketing and PR activities.
I collaborated with Karel Janeček and Tomáš Marada on the activities of POSITIVE EVOLUTION. My wife, Jana, and I created an audiovisual performance called ŠIVOVO KOLO ŽIVOTA (Shiva's Wheel of Life), which premiered in 2012 at the ABC Theater. I also work with the prestigious PRAGUE BUSINESS CLUB, where I served as vice president from 2010 to 2011. Additionally, I am currently collaborating with Petr Vachler on the preparation of the film The Secret and the Meaning of Life.
From 2010 to 2016, I actively participated in the PROREGIONY project, which focuses on promoting regional cooperation among entrepreneurs and fostering mutual interaction between supply and demand in the region. This initiative brings together entrepreneurs and individuals in the public and non-profit sectors, introducing them to the concepts of multiplication and modern methods of collaboration and communication. A significant component of the project is education; ProRegiony offers a comprehensive educational program.
I was one of the lecturers in the lecture series on strengthening businesses (POSILOVNA PODNIKÁNÍ) and the complementary seminar, “SUPPORTING THE LOCAL ECONOMY IN PRACTICE.” Notable outputs of the project include the PLAY BROUMOVSKO exhibition and the BROUMOVSKO IN PERSON (BROUMOVSKO oSOBnĚ) regional competition. Since 2020, the ProRegions project has continued its vision and mission, primarily in collaboration with the Institute of Circular Economics, where I have been invited to serve on the board of directors and actively contribute to the development of this unique initiative.
I am passionate about looking toward the future and supporting visions that can lead our society toward a sustainable and better tomorrow. For this reason, I founded ŠTASTNÉ ČESKO, a fund dedicated to measuring and promoting "gross domestic happiness" in the Czech Republic. This fund was established in collaboration with STEM - the Institute of Empirical Research, based on the results of a public survey called Štěstí (Well-being), which has been conducted regularly in the Czech Republic since 2018.
I am one of the founders of the online magazine FLOWEE.CZ, which offers readers topics supporting the idea of "smart living." Although flowee.cz has only been in the media landscape for a short time, it has already garnered significant attention. In its first six months, it achieved 7.5 million views, and the editorial team published 300 articles each month. After one and a half years with the company, I successfully handed over the position of “Creative and Visionary Director” to the majority owner, BIG MEDIA a.s., and subsequently sold my minority stake. While I still support the project, my long-term vision differed from the direction this portal has taken.
After departing from the Flowee.cz project, I decided to focus all my efforts on artinii.com, a project that had periodically resurfaced in my priorities and showed considerable worldwide potential. Since 2007, when I created the first mini-film festival focused on films with a spiritual theme called "Spiritual Cinema," I had been thinking about a project that would facilitate the "public screenings” of interesting films from around the world. After several attempts at distribution in the Czech Republic and Slovakia with the unique film “What the Bleep Do We Know!?” (USA/Canada, 2004, doku-drama), the core idea of the artinii.com project re-emerged in 2015.
Together with my co-founders, I developed a concept for artinii.com and assembled the first team to bring the idea to life. Artinii.pro - Art in Intelligent Interaction became a reality. We tested this concept with over 160 screenings of the remastered Czech film classic Obecná Škola, coinciding with Zdeněk Svěrák's 80th birthday.
In 2018, my co-founder and I had the opportunity to advance this project further by joining the SEBRE incubator. We fully committed to the project, becoming a StartUp. The entire initiative has since grown and scaled rapidly. Our solution effectively addresses film security, audiovisual content protection, and worldwide distribution challenges.
Our system enables fast and secure global delivery of content without compromising quality, allowing screenings on the largest screens. We currently hold a "Patent Pending" status in the USA for our technological system, which can deliver tens of thousands of films globally in one day.
The first official performance took place at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2019. Another significant milestone was being selected among the TOP 3 innovative projects of 2020 at the Cannes Film Festival in the Cannes Next program, as well as being named one of the TOP 5 innovative projects of 2021 at Berlinale, among other awards.
The artinii.pro project has already established partnerships in the USA and collaborates with numerous independent producers, large foreign studios, and successful creators.
An intriguing byproduct of developing the technological system for Artinii is Mytitle.com. It is one of the first practical applications of blockchain in the Czech Republic, designed for individuals, companies, banks, and government administrations.
Mytitle has gained international traction with minimal marketing, attracting users from over 200 countries. In its first year, we welcomed more than 110,000 satisfied users and stored hundreds of thousands of documents with corresponding certificates. Mytitle.com has expanded internationally, opening an office in Japan, and continues to collaborate with some of the world's largest law firms. It offers solutions not only for B2C scenarios but also for B2B, B2Legal, and importantly, for the industry.
Since 2018, Artinii has evolved into a globally recognized company, operating in over 100 countries and actively presenting at prestigious international film festivals such as Cannes, the International Film Festival of India in Goa, and Karlovy Vary. With partnerships including major studios like Universal, SONY, and DISNEY through our partners like MPLC and FilmBankMedia, Artinii.pro is revolutionizing the way films are distributed for public screenings, providing secure offline playback for communities and organizations worldwide.
I am also proud to have co-founded The Inii Way SE, the first Digital Media Venture Studio, which focuses on innovative solutions in the media and blockchain sectors.
My work continues to integrate my passions for creativity, technology, and meaningful human connections. Every project I undertake serves a singular purpose: to contribute to a more inspiring, innovative, and interconnected world.
