Congratulations to all winners and finalists!

Mr. Director, with what objective did the signatories

of the Declaration establish your Association?

The beginning of the 1990s was a period of rapid social

change. Regional self-government had ceased to exist and

the regional government did not exist yet. It was necessary

to create an environment for the support and new direction

of the whole region and the creation of a completely new

industrial structure. This task was successfully undertaken

by a new, completely non-political institution, the North

Moravian Economic Union, based on the principle

of partnership and cooperation. The most important

industrial companies of the region joined it.

What are the most significant traces left behind by

the Association?

There were many of them, and very significant ones. Today,

for example, few people know that the MS Union was

one of the three founders of the Regional Development

Agency, which in 1995, together with the Statutory City

of Ostrava and three regional universities, established

the Ostrava Science and Technology Park. The MS Union

has also played a historically significant positive role in

addressing the region’s transport accessibility, particularly

through its strong and tireless influence on the relevant

central authorities in the construction of the D47 motorway

and the modernisation of key railway junctions and lines.

For more than 10 years, the MS Union has organised

the “Industrial Landscape” conferences, focused on

conceptual solutions for further use of the territory affected

by mining and industrial activities. For more than twenty

years we have been organising the conference WASTE

21, addressing current issues of waste management and

its energy recovery. Within the structure of the MS Union,

the activities of the MS Employment Pact and the pilot

testing of elements of dual education in MSK were also

launched. Over the years, the MS Union has been involved

in a number of development transformation projects.

And what about the future?

The 30th anniversary is undoubtedly a good occasion to

celebrate, reflect, thank, but also to reflect on the future.

The MS Union currently still represents a strong potential

of active subjects who are not indifferent to the future of

the region and who are ready to actively move it forward

towards its prosperity and balanced development, and to

cooperate in a coordinated way with all those who wish to

do the same.

Mr Mácha, thank you for the interview.
