The Czech Republic has named its second diplomat tasked with boosting Czech innovation and research. The appointee is Luděk Moravec and he will be based in the United States. He has already identified security and energy as two areas where there is a great potential to boost cooperation with local US companies and agencies. The first such Czech diplomat was posted at the end of 2015 to Israel. Germany and South Korea have been picked out in the past as countries where other innovation ambassadors could be sent.
