Punching Out: How to Stay Focused in Business and M&A
It’s Only Common Sense: Just Imagine…
Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) hosted the Czech Tech Day technology exhibition at its Pardubice facility, showcasing the latest high-tech products shaping the present and future of industry. Visitors had a unique opportunity to see these technologies from Foxconn’s global portfolio in the Czech Republic for the very first time, just days after their presentation at the prestigious VivaTech exhibition in Paris.
The event offered a comprehensive overview of the key areas driving today’s technological transformation – from artificial intelligence and advanced robotics to electric mobility. Foxconn also demonstrated its role as a technology leader and strategic business partner, connecting global innovation with local manufacturing.
Czech Tech Day was attended by representatives of the City of Pardubice, the Pardubice Region, CzechInvest, the Czech Chamber of Commerce, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Prague, and other important partners. The exhibition was also open to all Foxconn employees from Pardubice and Kutná Hora.
AI Infrastructure as the Foundation of the Digital Future
One of the main attractions was the presentation of state-of-the-art AI infrastructure, including the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform. This high-performance rack-scale system demonstrated a new approach to building data centers that are evolving into so-called “AI factories” – environments designed for developing, training, and deploying artificial intelligence at scale.
“The showcased solutions demonstrated how computational performance can be significantly increased while accelerating model training and reducing both operating costs and energy consumption,” said Radka Svobodová, Compliance, PR and Communications Manager at Foxconn. The exhibition also featured modular infrastructure components illustrating the practical deployment of AI in enterprise environments.
Foxconn Czech Republic is already involved in the production of critical AI infrastructure, and this manufacturing capacity will continue to expand in the future.
Humanoid Robotics and Digital Twins in Manufacturing
Another major highlight was the demonstration of a next-generation humanoid robot developed in cooperation with NVIDIA. The robot is capable of autonomously responding to environmental changes, making decisions, and performing complex tasks such as material handling and assembly operations.
The presentation also included a demonstration of the Foxconn Omniverse Digital Twin, which connects physical manufacturing operations with their virtual counterpart in real time. This technology enables process simulation, production optimization, and testing without disrupting actual operations.
FOXTRON Electric Vehicles Debut in the Czech Republic
Another section of the exhibition was dedicated to EVs from FOXTRON Vehicle Technologies, which were presented in the Czech Republic for the first time. Visitors could explore the compact MODEL B, offering a driving range of up to 516 km, as well as the premium seven-seat MODEL D, designed for both family and business use, with a range of up to 800 km.
Both vehicles attracted considerable interest from visitors, who had the opportunity to sit inside the cars, explore their premium interiors, and take photographs with them.
“Through both the design and manufacturing of electric vehicles, Foxconn is fulfilling its long-term strategy of being not only a manufacturer of products and components, but also an integrator of comprehensive next-generation mobility solutions that combine hardware, software, and proprietary platforms developed in-house,” said Radka Svobodová.
Foxconn’s Strong Presence in the Czech Republic
The Czech Tech Day exhibition also showcased European production, including manufacturing activities in the Czech Republic, highlighting the country’s importance within Foxconn’s global operations.
Foxconn has been operating in the Czech Republic since 2000, employs approximately 4,500 people, and runs two manufacturing facilities in Pardubice and Kutná Hora.
Products manufactured in Foxconn’s Czech facilities include desktop computers, monitors, printers, servers, routers, switches, supercomputers, advanced artificial intelligence systems, and portable oxygen concentrators.
