Petr Bittner | Jan Bittner ŠKRTY podcast Velvet Innovation Conference 2024 Join the Bittner brothers, Jan, the economist and analyst and Petr, the journalist, for the live recording of their podcast ŠKRTY. This little different economic podcast will introduce itself during as a startup and then will attempt to justify the existence of the state as a kind of startup in its own right. What lessons can we draw from a podcast startup that has navigated the “valley of death” financially for three years with its head held high? What does Italian economist Mariana Mazzucato say about how the state, as the “forefather” of startups, can support newly established ventures? Why is bureaucracy the best remedy for bureaucracy? And what can Brno teach us about sustainably managing ambition?
