International Trade Fair of Practice Enterprises 2027
The International Trade Fair of Practice Enterprises is an annual three-day fair at which student-run practice enterprises from the Czech Republic and other European countries present their virtual companies, trade with each other and meet international partners. The 32nd edition takes place on 17-19 March 2027 in Krizik Pavilion E at the Prague Exhibition Grounds (Vystaviste) in Prague 7-Holesovice, Czech Republic. Entry is free for the public; the fair is open on Wednesday from 13:00 to 16:00, on Thursday from 09:00 to 16:00 and on Friday from 09:00 to noon.
The event is organised by the Antre practice enterprise, founded in 1993 at Heroldovy sady school in Prague, whose fourth-year students run the fair as their final-year project: they handle registrations, produce the fair catalogue and certificates, arrange the premises, sponsors and banking services, and plan the cultural programme. The first edition was held in March 1995 with 60 Czech practice enterprises taking part; participation later grew to a record 202 practice enterprises, more than 100 of them from abroad, most often from Slovakia, Austria, Italy, Germany, Romania, Finland and Belgium. Alongside the exhibition, participating teams take part in accompanying competitions and the results are announced on stage during the closing ceremony.
