Brno, Czech Republic – December 3, 2025 – DYNANIC continues to bridge the gap between academic excellence and industrial reliability. In a strong fourth quarter for 2025, we have secured a top position in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, advanced to the finals of the European cybersecurity awards, and contributed to interesting discussions on deep tech scaling for example at Engaged Investments Conference.
Bridging research and reliability at Engaged Investments Conference 2025
DYNANIC CSO Jan Kořenek recently represented the company at the Engaged Investments Conference in Prague. The event, which connects investors with high-potential startups from Central and Eastern Europe, focused heavily on deep tech, critical infrastructure, and the challenges of scaling hardware innovation.
Jan joined the panel discussion titled How to Access Deeptech Startups: Venture Capital and Technology Transfer. Alongside representatives from major investment funds, he discussed the critical transition from university-based research to commercially viable products.
During the panel, Jan highlighted that the success of a deep tech company relies on more than just raw performance metrics. It requires a fundamental shift in mindset from research exploration to industrial reliability. Jan stated during the session that:
“The transition from a research project to a commercially viable product requires a specific focus on the customer,”
and he also added:
“It is not enough to have superior throughput or latency in a lab environment. The market demands stability, long-term support, and the ability to integrate into existing infrastructures without friction. At DYNANIC, we utilize our strong academic roots to innovate, but we operate with a strict commercial focus on delivering proven performance.”
The conference also provided an opportunity to discuss the broader ecosystem of hardware acceleration. With data centers facing increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption while managing +400G speeds, efficiency of FPGA solutions is becoming a central topic for investors and CTOs alike.
Advancing European cybersecurity
Following the discussions on infrastructure, DYNANIC demonstrated the security applications of its FPGA technology at the ECSO (European Cybersecurity Organisation) Cyber Investor Days in Prague.
Jan Kořenek pitched DYNANIC’s capability to handle high-speed wire-speed packet processing for cybersecurity applications. The presentation resonated with the jury, securing DYNANIC a spot as a finalist for the ECSO European Cybersecurity Startup Award Finals.
This selection places DYNANIC among the most promising European cybersecurity companies, with the final competition scheduled for 2026. It confirms that hardware acceleration is no longer just about speed— it is a critical enabler for next-generation network security.
Excelling in Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Central Europe
Confirming this growth trajectory, DYNANIC has secured the excellent placement in the Companies to Watch category of the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Central Europe 2025.
Deloitte Technology Fast 50 programme ranks companies based on revenue growth, identifying those with scalable solutions and significant potential. The Companies to Watch category is specifically designed for younger companies that are rapidly establishing themselves in the market.
Kateřina Novotná, Partner at Deloitte, noted the evolution of the local market:
“The Czech technology sector is shifting from a startup ecosystem position to a phase of mature, scalable firms that can stand up to global competition.”
To sum it up: What a Q4 it has been so far! We want to thank our team and partners for their incredible work. But we are not finished with this year just yet. We still have a few exciting developments up our sleeves that we will be announcing very soon. As we keep our eyes on the ECSO finals in 2026, stay tuned for what is coming next. Run with DYNANIC!
