German Business Award 2025 for Czech-German Cooperation for Entry Engineering

At Prague’s Mánes Gallery, Entry Engineering, a member of the MATADOR Group, received the prestigious German Business Award 2025 in the category of Czech-German Cooperation. This achievement reflects the strength of international collaboration and confirms the importance of our strategic focus on innovation.

At the gala evening held as part of the German-Czech Economic Forum (GCEF), we were honoured in the category of Czech-German Cooperation. GCEF is an annual forum of the German-Czech Chamber of Industry and Commerce (ČNOPK), where leaders from industry, research, and innovation meet.

The “German Business Award” (Deutscher Wirtschaftspreis), presented by GCEF, is intended for Czech companies with up to 500 employees that, through innovation and transformation, strengthen the competitiveness of both the Czech-German and European economies. Winning this category brings specific benefits: a one-year membership in ČNOPK and free access to chamber events, invitations to key business occasions, and networking with German investors.

Thanks to the award, Entry Engineering received a one-year membership in ČNOPK. This opens a range of benefits:
• free access to chamber events
• exclusive networking
• access to the Summer Festival (more than 1,000 guests from the Czech-German business community)
• opportunities to participate in matchmaking activities and strategic meetings, including a visit to Bavaria and the Enforce Tac trade fair in Nuremberg (program for 2026) – this is exactly part of the benefit that ČNOPK offers to the winners.

This triumph is proof that we are heading in the right direction. The combination of innovation, high technical expertise, and international cooperation is precisely the path the Matador Group wants to follow – in the spirit of our claim “Innovation to win.” Congratulations to the entire Entry Engineering team and to all partners of the AI4MultiDirectAM project, because without their commitment, this would not have been possible.

What is GCEF – the awards forum
