Město Náchod

What Město Náchod does

Město Náchod is the municipal government of the town of Náchod, located in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic, serving an estimated population of approximately 20,000 residents. As a sovereign local-government entity, it delivers the full spectrum of municipal services including civil administration (identity documents, vehicle and driver registration, residence records), public safety through its Municipal Police (Městská policie), education administration, social services (including senior transportation and a social wardrobe), environmental protection, urban planning, and cultural and sports programming. The municipality also operates specialized assets such as the Malé lázně Běloves spa and wellness facility, managed through its wholly-owned contributory organization Správa přírodních zdrojů a lázní Běloves (SPZL).

The city's technology stack comprises conventional municipal digital infrastructure rather than commercial software products. Core digital offerings include the E-obsluha electronic citizen service portal for online appointment booking and queue management, a city-wide webcam network covering key locations including Masarykovo náměstí and Pražská street, the Munipolis mobile notification application, and the bimonthly Náchodský zpravodaj municipal newsletter. Distribution of services occurs through the central Městský úřad (municipal office), a network of municipal police stations, two Tourist Information Centers (Městské informační centrum), and the spa facility. Revenue is generated through diversified municipal taxes, regulated fees, public service charges, and external funding including EU grants — there is no commercial pricing model as the entity operates as a public-sector service provider.

From a strategic positioning standpoint, Město Náchod has pursued spa and wellness tourism as a differentiated growth vertical, anchoring the cross-border Aqua Mineralis Glacensis consortium with Polish partner municipalities (Kudowa Zdrój, Duszniki Zdrój) and consolidating full ownership of spa assets in 2021. The city also maintains seven international twin-town partnerships for cultural exchange and has invested in environmental governance, earning the silver-level Ekologická obec certification in 2026. The entity's competitive position is defined by its statutory monopoly on local governance rather than commercial moats, and its primary differentiation rests on location-bound natural assets (certified medicinal mineral springs Jan and Běla) and historical heritage including Náchod Castle.

Regional players

• Statutární město Hradec Králové: Regional capital in the same Hradec Králové Region as Náchod. Comparable as a Czech statutory city providing a similar municipal service portfolio (digital administration, police, social services) but at a substantially larger scale and serving as Náchod's administrative anchor.
• Město Trutnov: Neighboring Hradec Králové Region municipality of similar size (~30K residents) and rural-urban mix. Comparable as a regional Czech town managing digital citizen services, cultural programming, and environmental programs with overlapping partner ecosystems.
• Město Jičín: Regional Czech town in the adjacent Královéhradecký region with comparable population scale. Comparable for its municipal governance profile, heritage tourism positioning, and digital service delivery model aimed at residents and visitors.

Direct peers

• Statutární město Karlovy Vary: Czech spa city operating municipal governance over a much larger spa economy anchored by certified thermal mineral springs. Directly comparable as a Czech municipality that owns/operates spa infrastructure, tourist information centers, and digital citizen services tied to a wellness tourism economy.
• Město Mariánské Lázně: Czech spa municipality with UNESCO-listed heritage and certified mineral springs. Comparable in the same municipal-plus-spa hybrid operating model where the city owns mineral water assets and runs tourism services alongside standard municipal functions.
• Město Františkovy Lázně: Czech spa municipality in the Karlovarský kraj managing certified mineral springs and UNESCO-linked heritage. Comparable as a smaller Czech spa city combining standard municipal services with mineral-water tourism, though with a larger and more established brand.
• Gmina Kudowa-Zdrój: Polish spa gmina directly partnered with Náchod in the Aqua Mineralis Glacensis cross-border project. Directly comparable as a municipal government that co-develops spa tourism circuits with Czech peers and operates mineral spring infrastructure.

Others

• Asekol: Czech compliance entity that grants the 'Ekologická obec' certification awarded to Náchod. Adjacent ecosystem participant — comparable only as the certifying counterpart in Náchod's environmental/waste management positioning.
• Munipolis: Czech SaaS provider of the citizen notification platform used by Náchod. Adjacent enabling vendor — comparable as the technology partner whose product is part of Náchod's digital citizen engagement stack.

Broad incumbents

• Město Liberec: Czech statutory city of similar digital-maturity ambition and tourism focus. Comparable for its deployment of e-government platforms, city webcams, and citizen notification systems, but at a larger urban scale than Náchod.
