Mr Petr Pavel, President of the Czech Republic. The forum will bring together companies, public sector representatives, and industry organisations from both countries. Its aim is to strengthen economic cooperation between Estonia and the Czech Republic and to create new contacts, particularly in the defence and cybersecurity sectors.
