On Tuesday, September 16, we received two awards that we truly value: third place in the Idea of the Year 2025 competition and the Startup of the Year title. Placing third among so many outstanding projects is a great honor for us.
Our journey began with a simple but well-known obstacle for developers—waiting for a printed circuit board prototype. Many new ideas often stall simply because PCB manufacturing takes weeks. We decided to change this process. Through automation and a new approach, we can deliver a prototype within 24 hours. This allows developers to test faster and move their projects forward instead of waiting.
The Idea of the Year award means more to us than just success in a competition. It shows that the problem we set out to solve has broader relevance. It is also an encouragement that even in Europe, we can find ways to innovate at the same pace as the rest of the world. A significant role in this is played by the environment being built here in the Czech Republic—competitions, networking events, and technology incubators that connect early-stage teams with partners, mentors, and investors.
Where Is PCB Manufacturing Heading Next?
In the coming years, we still have a lot of work ahead of us. We plan to complete our fully automated production line, expand our services to include PCB assembly, and gradually scale to the European market. We see the Startup of the Year award as both a commitment and a motivation—and we look forward to where this journey will take us together with the community of developers and innovators.
