Košice is making waves in the tech world! With a thriving IT community of over 15,000 professionals, our city is home to game-changing startups and global tech companies pushing the boundaries of innovation.
At our seventh Košice IT Meetup, we dove into cutting-edge technologies—exploring the challenges, opportunities, and the impact they’re having on the future of IT.


Augmented Reality: From Startup to Success
Our first speaker, Erik Hric, co-founder of CherryPeak, shared insights into how their Košice-based startup is pioneering digital solutions, from enterprise process management to augmented reality (AR) applications. He gave us a deep dive into the latest AR advancements—and the real challenges of turning an AR-driven business into a success.


AI & Robotics in Cardiology: The Future of Surgery
Next up, Ondrej Palkoci, AI/ML specialist and cloud engineer at med-tech startup CorTech, introduced a game-changing project: an autonomous robotic assistant designed to help surgeons perform minimally invasive heart surgeries. We explored how AI is reshaping healthcare, the challenges of medical robotics, and what the future holds for tech in medicine.


Of course, no meetup is complete without some fun! We wrapped up the talks with an interactive quiz, a lively Q&A session, and, as always, plenty of networking over drinks at Cassovia Code.
A huge thanks to everyone who joined us! If you missed this one, don’t worry—we’ll see you at the next meetup!
