Welcoming the New Year: A Message from Our Executive Director

Dear friends,
esteemed partners and supporters of the International Visegrad Fund,

last year was a significant milestone for the International Visegrad Fund as we celebrated our 25th anniversary. Over the past quarter-century, the Fund has grown into a trusted and respected institution, supporting events and individual mobility projects with a total value of €150 million through successful applications from more than 10,600 applicants.

You—our applicants—are the heart of the Fund.

Through your dedication and creativity, you demonstrate every day that even with limited financial resources, it is possible to strengthen shared values, foster mutual understanding, and build meaningful, long-lasting partnerships across our region and beyond.

As we enter the New Year, I wish you inspiration, forward thinking, and the courage to turn your ideas into impactful projects and mobility opportunities in cooperation with the International Visegrad Fund.

Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our entire team and wish them continued strength, enthusiasm, and energy—so that together we may look forward to at least another 25 years of success.

Wishing you all a happy, inspiring, and successful New Year!

Linda Kapustová Helbichová

Executive Director of the International Visegrad Fund
