Thermosolar Hive: From the EIT Food Innovation Prizes to Australian Apiaries
In 2020, the Thermosolar Hive team from Olomouc won the Czech regional final of the EIT Food Innovation Prizes and took 3rd place in the Grand Final. Their hive uses the energy of the sun to eliminate the Varroa mite without chemicals, resulting in stronger colonies and residue-free honey. Today it is used across Europe and is entering Australia. We asked Jan Rája, co-owner of Apis Innovation, what has happened since.
When a Café Meets AI, Circular Economy and Longevity
What happens when healthy food, longevity science, artificial intelligence and circular economy principles come together? In Prague, there is a rather unusual answer: Healthy Longevity Café. We selected this business as a good practice example from the Czech Republic within the SMART CIRCLE project. As part of the development of Module 6 - Communicating the Smart Circular Roadmap, led by the Czech project team, we explored how a small business can combine sustainability, digitalisation and innovation in practice. In September 2025, we visited Healthy Longevity Café and filmed a video presenting this unique concept directly on site. After several months of preparation and coordination, we can finally share it.
