About Us

We are a Czech family consultancy focused on expert services for intelligent transport systems, smart cities and other related subjects for Czech or foreign clients. As a part of our services, we can offer management training, especially for participants with engineering backgrounds.

Established in early 2012, we base our business upon the consultants’ British qualification, professional background in public transport and electrical engineering as well as on their thirty year experience in railway management, management consulting and training and technological media operation.

In parallel with our consultancy, we operate a Czech web portal www.proelektrotechniky.cz focused on new projects and technologies in electrical engineering, electro-mobility, power generation and automation worldwide. Our web is reputable within the local electrical engineering and transport professional community, thus helping us to promote our consulting services as well as to be up to date about the development in our business.

We are partners to the Czech Transport Operator Association in the Electro-mobility Working Committee, focused on electric transit development (especially electric buses) in Czech cities.

We also maintain a network of other professional and media partnerships with major industry players, universities and trade associations such as the Czech Hydrogen Technological Platform, the Association for Infrastructure Development or the Czech Association of MBA Schools. We are also networked to other Czech and international engineering and financial consultancies, and thus able to deliver professional services tailor made precisely to the client’s needs.

As subscribers to the European Electro-mobility Observatory (EEO), we keep the international professional community up-to-date about the local situation in electro-mobility and vice versa, we can immediately inform the Czech professional public about the latest news and development in European electro-mobility.
