KB FUTURE FEST 2030 ZONE

The Komerční banka │ Visa FutureFest 2030 zone will take visitors to Rock for People to the future – near and yet so far from the present. With its programme, design or technology, it will show possible forms of how we will live, live, study or enjoy our leisure time perhaps in just a few years.

Everything you will see and experience in this unmissable zone has one common denominator – sustainability and responsibility. To the environment and to each other.

The zone combines a supercharged live programme with a host of distinguished guests and hostesses with a relaxing relaxation zone. Impeccable food, which may soon be an integral part of our cuisine, with non-profit activities. You’ll see and try out (clean and green) technology for yourself, ethically apply your makeup or charge your phone with solar power. And read a bestselling second-hand book to boot.

FutureFest 2030 is not a dry exposition, nor are we pulling a t-shirt on you. There are powerful stories and visions behind everything that makes up this zone. And you’ll be able to meet their bearers and carriers either at one of the points or on the Solar or Conference stage.

The whole zone has 5 pillars:

• FutureCity 2030: what the places we live in can look like
• FuturePower 2030: all about the clean energy of the future, with a number of patents from the Czech Republic
• FutureTalks 2030: interviews with inspirational figures who see beyond
• FutureFood 2030: a taste of the future – responsible, healthy or plant-based
• FutureYou 2030: what will education, responsibility or our leisure time look like?

SOLAR STAGE
Goes to the sun and puts out loads of energy! In the afternoon you will meet dazzling personalities sharing their success story. The evenings are dedicated to music stars: shining and igniting. And the nights will draw you in with the energetic beams of fresh musical (and often secret) shows.

Come and relax in a cool upcycled sitting/lounging area. Recharge your batteries in the luxuriously stocked gastro zone or bars. Recharge your chip bracelet cashlessly with your KB Visa card and get a bonus of up to 200 CZK.

You’ll leave refreshed and invigorated. And with the feeling that you’ve peeked into the future: of the festival, of society and of yourself. The festival is brought to you by Komerční banka in cooperation with Visa. Renewable energy is provided by StableCam with the EcoLabel brand.

FUTURECITY 2030
We are building on renewable materials. We are looking for (and finding) ways to incorporate recycled waste into the Komerční banka zone. And, of course, renewable energy.

We’re showing what blue-green infrastructure can mean in cities and towns, or what clean and responsible mobility will look like.

We zoom in on how important design and architecture is in shaping how we feel. Not to mention greenery or shading, which we really didn’t skimp on in the KB FutureFest 2030 zone.

The whole zone is actually a smaller version of the city of the future. The whole thing is powered by clean energy: solar panels from EcoFlow filled its batteries a week before the festival, and the DEVINN hydrogen generator is already a proven energy pillar of the festival.

Thanks to Komerční banka │ VISA in the 2030 Festival City, you will recharge yourself, your mobile device and your chip-enabled wristbands, be refreshed and inspired by discussion topics, and enchanted by unconventional musical performances. Come and join us, we have enough energy for everyone!

FUTUREPOWER 2030
Did you know that Rock for People aims to be independent of fossil fuels by 2030? Every year we get closer to that commitment. This year, it’s taking a big step, with new festival partners and installations. Want to know what it’s like next to the Solar Stage? Or how we charge the electric TOYOTS next to the Conference Stage? Read on…

DEVINN
We believe in hydrogen! For the third year in a row. And we are still improving with the visionaries from the purely Czech engineering and development company DEVINN.

So in 2023, we’re going for 30 kW of power thanks to the H2BASE hydrogen generator. We generate electricity from green hydrogen. Which is one that is not generated from fossil fuels, but by clean electrolysis using renewable energy sources. Unique! It powers the Conference Stage and other elements of our KB FutureFest 2030 zone. The fleet of clean mobility partner TOYOTA. And, in fact, us.

If you find a moment, drop by the DEVINN technicians. They’ll describe with passion and enthusiasm (and even in several languages) the whole of this amazing device, which may be a common feature in public buildings, apartment buildings and houses in 2030. All you need is photovoltaic panels, an energy storage tank, a few other components and you have an off-grid (island) energy solution at home!

Are you already standing in front of the DEVINN point? And you can see that you can’t hear anything! Oh, and if you’re thirsty, feel free to take a sip of pure H2O from the H2BASE!

CLEAN SOLAR ENERGY FROM ECOFLOW (STABLECAM)
The EcoFlow brand is present at the festival on five levels and several pilot projects (air conditioning for VIP tents, backstage air conditioning, solar charging for ECO CARS commercial vehicles, etc.). Everything that the festival uses, you can have too – at home, at work, in the motorhome and anywhere else. KB Point can help you with how to finance your purchase. You might find them in the tent next to the Solar Stage. Or anytime at KB Advisory.

KB Solar Stage
The first island music stage in the Czech Republic, powered by a 12.8 kWp photovoltaic power plant.

Two EcoFlow Power Kits with a total output of 7.2 kW power the music equipment and lights. The energy from the photovoltaic power plant is used during the day to power the music stage and is also stored in LiFePO4 batteries with a capacity of 30 kWh.

The maximum power consumption of the entire stage is calculated at approx. 3,618 kW (2x D.A.S. Avant 118a subwoofer + 4x D.A.S. Convert 12a speaker + 8x Martin Rush Par1 RGBW light + 1x ThinkPad). From sunset onwards, the music stage will be able to play non-stop on maximum battery power for 7.5 hours – that is, until about 02:30.

• • Solar bar and café zone KB FutureFest 2030

The container bar and café in the KB FutureFest 2030 zone will be powered by portable EcoFlow DELTA Pro battery stations. Each bar will be equipped with a pair of stations with a total capacity of 7.2 kW and the capacity of each bar will be 10.8 kWh with extra LiFePO4 batteries. Each bar will be powered by a smaller photovoltaic power plant with a capacity of 2.4 kWp. The bars will be powered by EcoFlow DELTA Pro to power lights, refrigerators, taps, coffee machines and other bar equipment.

• • EcoFlow battery station rental

At the entrance to the campground, you will find an EcoFlow rental station where you can rent battery stations to recharge all of your electronics. Rentals will be free, but against a rental agreement (ID, signature).

• • VIP tents equipped with EcoFlow

Ten VIP tents are equipped with the first travel fridge (38L fridge capacity) with a battery-powered ice maker – the EcoFlow Glacier. The tents are also equipped with portable battery stations EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max.

• • EcoFlow Charging Station – solar charging kiosks / counters

The KB FutureFest 2030 zone features 15 kiosks where you can charge your phones and other technology over a drink. USB-C and Lightning cables will be brought out to the counter. The charging kiosks are designed as bar stations. The base of the kiosk houses EcoFlow DELTA Max battery stations, and will be recharged from EcoFlow’s foldable bi-faceted 220Wp solar panels, which also act as a sunshade on the kiosk.

Bottom line:

Total PV output of the structure next to the Solar Stage – 12.8 kWp
Estimated PV production for the Solar Stage – 50 to 60 kWh per day, so we will be managing surplus
Additional PV panels can be found above the bar containers (2.4 to 4.8 kWp per bar)
Panel inclination is 45°, orientation is SE
Battery capacity – 30 kWh (six LFP batteries of 5 kWh each)

UCEEB CTU
But that’s not all in FuturePower 2030! Towards the wall you can visit the armoured tent of the University Centre for Energy Efficient Buildings of the CTU in Prague (UCEEB). “Healthy buildings, smart cities” is the motto of the exhibition. The patents and solutions developed in this centre in Bushehr are already part of many buildings. And they are increasingly penetrating cities.

• PV Forecast – technology that predicts solar irradiance with an impact on the production of photovoltaic panels
• Air handling unit with thermoelectric modules
• Indoor environmental quality monitoring sensors that reliably detect unhealthy buildings, including higher CO2 concentrations
• You can also learn about the results of the international Horizon research projects, which deal with the theme of New Europen Bauhaus, because these most accurately foreshadow the development path for domestic cities and municipalities as well

FUTURETALKS 2030
We believe in dialogue. That’s why we have dedicated a separate part of the KB FutureFest 2030 zone to stimulating meetings with important and inspiring personalities who are active in the public space. Whether in the non-profit or business world. This builds on the great success of the moderated discussions and presentations we first tried on a larger scale in 2021.

So who can you meet in the afternoon and early evening on the Solar or Conference stage? Prokop Pithart, a promising Czech naturalist, Tereza Kobkova and Lukáš “Lukefry” Fritscher, Toy Box and Ben Cristovao, Janek Rubes and Honza Špaček, Lukáš Hejlík, Adam Táborský, Taste of Prague or … Michal Thomes!

The responsible form of business will be presented by Roman Lauš from Mewery, Jan Čilík from Tierra Verde, Jitka Haubová from KB, Pavel Zedníček from INCIEN, Dominik Gazdoš, founder of Knihobot, Martin Peleška, director of TOYOTA, Luboš Hajský from DEVINN, Ludmila Jakubcová from LUSH or Petr Báča from the successful MIWA concept.

The exact programme can be found here.

And if you can’t catch our guests on stage, there will certainly be an opportunity to chat with them on the premises. Many of them will spend four whole days at Rock for Peope!

FUTUREFOOD 2030
Festivals are all about sausages, langos and beer, right? Oh no… Anyone who goes to Rock for People knows that the food and drink offerings are the equivalent of the hipster aisle of your average European metropolis.

But what you’ll experience in the KB FutureFest 2030 zone foreshadows trends for years to come. In quality, in ingredients, in story. And, in fact, the arrangements.

You’ll find sprinkled Zemanka circular biscuits at the MIWA snack station, artistically recycled LandCraft spirits, designer vegetable burgers from Soyka, rich protein bombs from Mr. Hrášek of the EMCO family, renowned artisanal ice cream from Puro Gelato, artful vegetable sushi from Foxy Rolls, a tastefully refined menu from the Palo Verde stars, or cricket protein from Sens, which is also favored by climber Adam Ondra. And many more – from hearty classics to filigree pieces.

Because we believe that one path to responsibility and health is through the stomach, we’ve joined forces with ProVeg. It has become this year’s festival partner for a more diverse plant-based offering.

And a tip for the end: on Sunday 11 June at 16.00 on the Conference Stage you will see what the world has never seen before! Roman Lauš from the progressive start-up MEWERY will present live the first Czech sausage grown / raised in a laboratory!

FUTUREYOU 2030
Those of us who come to Rock for People regularly know the space we devote to inclusion, breaking down barriers and opening up issues that resonate among us. This year will be no different. So, alongside the many moderated debates, you can get to know a number of non-profit or charity activities in the KB FutureFest 2030 zone.

Much of what we have in store for you this year is also related to mental hygiene and mindfulness. So there will be yoga classes, meditation exercises and outdoor workouts.

Because we believe that one way to a better self is to help others, we have invited non-profits or foundations that have been doing this well for years to come to the festival. Thanks to them, there is a safety net for those in need, lives, nature, health, safety and relationships are saved and an active civil society is fulfilled.

Below you will find some of those that make up the engaged portion of this year’s Rock for People. Some can be found in the KB FutureFest 2030 zone, others at the CT Art Stage.

• ADRA Czech Republic is a humanitarian and development organization that helps people in need in the Czech Republic and abroad. It is part of the international network of charitable organizations ADRA operating in more than 100 countries. It provides immediate assistance (not only) in natural disasters and improves the living conditions of people living in poverty. Volunteer centres across the country connect people willing to help with those in need (seniors, people with disabilities and others). They are also dedicated to global development education. They have been there for others since 1992. Komerční banka and the Komerční banka Jistota Foundation have financially supported ADRA’s activities for many years. In 2022, for example, in helping people affected by the war in Ukraine, in 2021 in helping the tornado-hit area in Moravia, or currently in a project to help children in foster care.
• AutoMat advocates for a better environment for quality of life in the city. It promotes public, pedestrian and cycling transport as well as sensible car use. It brings inspiration from European metropolises and activates people to positively transform streets and public spaces. It keeps an eye on politicians and politicians and the efficient use of public money. Together with citizens, it creates the city we want to live in. For the second year, Komerční banka has been a general partner of the Bike to Work Challenge organised by AutoMat, but also has been actively involving its employees since the first edition in 2011.
• Let’s Clean Up the Czech Republic is a volunteer clean-up event that takes place throughout the Czech Republic. For the tenth year it has been organising volunteer clean-ups of black dumps and litter from nature, towns and villages. At the festival you can learn how to organize such a clean-up event or how to participate in it. They will also be happy to introduce the waste app KAMsNIM.cz or the new project EKOkalendar to those interested. Last but not least, visitors can take part in a competition in collecting and sorting waste on time. We have lots of interesting prizes for the most successful collectors/shredders! Komerční banka, through the Komerční banka Jistota Foundation, has been the main partner of this initiative for a nicer and tidier Czech Republic for the sixth year. Every year, hundreds of Komerční banka employees across the Czech Republic take part in the clean-up events.
• KB Advisory – an experienced team can advise you on ESG issues, energy, renewable energy, subsidies and tenders. They can advise on how to get up to 65% of the cost of green projects, get better interest rates for sustainable projects, prepare a sustainability study or measure your carbon footprint. All this with the backing of Komerční banka!
• With the #nePINdej project, the Czech Banking Association aims to keep us safe online. More and more we use modern technologies – every day we browse the internet, receive and reply to emails, work with online banking or shop in e-shops. And yet we are often exposed to cyber attacks that, if we are not careful or make the wrong decision, can lead to the loss of our identity or money from our bank account. What’s more, fraudsters have new methods to steal from us all the time. They target everyone from teenagers to the elderly. That’s why the Czech Banking Association has prepared a brand new interactive educational Kybertest in cooperation with expert partners. Every year, many Komerční banka employees join the Czech Banking Association’s Bankers to Schools project and help educate children in primary, secondary and high schools across the Czech Republic about financial matters. In 2023, more than 80 lectures were held across the Czech Republic, and this year we have already held more than
• People in Need provides tutoring and counselling to adolescents in the Czech Republic to support education for children at risk of social, cultural and economic exclusion. Tutoring is provided in 7 regions of the Czech Republic, in other locations online, and is intended for primary school pupils. The aim is to improve a child’s knowledge and school performance, increase motivation and improve the quality of their relationship with school and education. An important service this time for adult clients in the Czech Republic is debt counselling. It is provided in 13 regions of the Czech Republic – in total in 75 municipalities. In 2022, they provided 75,000 consultations to 5,000 people.
• H2Ospodar! – when we get up in the morning, make breakfast, brush our teeth, take a shower, we need water for everything. But we rarely think about how drinking water is created, how it gets into our homes and how it is returned to nature. The interactive exhibition H2Ospodar! describes the journey of water from nature to households and back. Come and discover where drinking water, which each of us uses approximately 100 litres a day, originates and where it ends. You will also take away concrete tips on how to manage water better.
• The DUHA Movement is a leading Czech environmental organisation operating since 1989. It promotes a healthy living environment, diverse nature and a smart economy. It can move politicians and authorities, negotiate with companies and help households. It strives for a free and democratic society that is socially sensitive, peaceful, capable of critical reflection and bears its share of global co-responsibility. A booth at the festival will transport you to a diverse landscape where agriculture thrives, as well as soil organisms and insects.
• The Star Bazaar is a charity second hand shop that serves as a training ground for people with disabilities. In addition to second-hand clothing, it focuses on selling local Czech products and its own merch, which is made with an emphasis on sustainability and originality. It is operated by the Czech Paraplegic Association – CZEPA and thanks to the great support of customers and the wider community, it has successfully managed to operate two stores in Prague. The festival will feature the best second hand pieces currently in stock, as well as original designer t-shirts with custom prints. Special limited edition RfP x Hvězdný bazar t-shirts can only be found at this booth!
• The Pro-Life Foundation has been operating since the fall of 2020 to help single moms, moms in shelters, children from orphanages, and seniors. It doesn’t give people money, it gives people experiences. Because nobody’s gonna take that away from them. It contributes to shopping and housing as needed. In short, it creates space for a dignified and fulfilled life.
• Defenders of Animals (OBRAZ) is dedicated to the protection of animals in the Czech Republic. It focuses not only on educating individuals, but also on advocating for legislative changes and other systemic reforms. It has successfully campaigned for a ban on fur farms or cage farming of laying hens. Last year, they launched another major campaign that focuses on the conditions of broiler chickens. There are 140 million of them in the Czech Republic alone. We are currently preparing a unique AI exhibition, A Picture for a Picture. The paintings were created with the help of artificial intelligence in collaboration with famous personalities such as Tamara Klusová, Tomáš Zástěra and many others.
