Jagello 2000

What Jagello 2000 does

Jagello 2000, z.s. is a Czech non-profit association (zapsaný spolek) founded in 2000 and headquartered in Ostrava, operating as the primary Czech public diplomacy entity focused on security policy and the Czech Republic's NATO membership. Its core program portfolio includes large-scale public events (NATO Days in Ostrava & Czech Air Force Days, the Čáslav Air Base Open Day), annual national security conferences ("Our Security Cannot Be Taken for Granted"), the natoaktual.cz news portal, the NATO Information Centre in Prague, and the "Poznej NATO" (Get to Know NATO) school excursion and debate program. The organization is structured around a small, stable team of 13 employees led by CEO and co-founder Zbyněk Pavlačík, with a wider ecosystem that includes representatives for strategic projects, finance, communications, a North American representative (Ret. Col. David Webb), and embedded reporters and project coordinators.

The organization does not develop proprietary technology or commercial software products; its "products" are programs, events, content, and educational services. Audience reach spans Czech citizens, secondary school students, defense industry professionals, military officials, and government/political leaders. Distribution is hybrid: in-person events (NATO Days, conferences, school excursions), digital channels (jagello.org, natoaktual.cz, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), and earned media coverage of high-profile events. The business model is grant and partnership-driven: events are free to the public, with funding sourced from Czech government ministries (notably the Ministry of Defence), defense industry partners (Lockheed Martin, Czechoslovak Group, AERO Vodochody, Česká zbrojovka, Saab, OMNIPOL, ERA, Ray Service), and foundations such as the PPF Foundation, alongside international partnerships with the Atlantic Council, the University of Texas at Austin, the George W. Bush Institute, and the Czech Embassy in Washington, DC. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or investor ownership are disclosed.
