Regulatory sandboxes as an opportunity for the spa sector

Our research fellow Mgr. Daniel Bečvář took part in the Social Innovation Forum conference in Prague on April 21. The main aim of the meeting was to discuss the support of social innovation.
During the program, together with his colleagues, he presented the topic of regulatory sandboxes, an area he specializes in at ILaB. Regulatory sandboxes provide a safe environment for testing new services and procedures in practice, opening up interesting possibilities for the further development of, among other things, the Czech spa sector.
Findings from this field are also summarized in a published academic article, of which our colleague Bečvář is the lead author:
