The OpenSSL Corporation Becomes Official General Partner of ZOO Brno’s Beringia Enclosure
Radana Dungelová, Director of ZOO Brno, and Anton Arapov, Director of the OpenSSL Corporation, at the official signing of the partnership agreement
At the OpenSSL Corporation, we believe that security and privacy are fundamental human rights for everyone, everywhere. This belief does not end at the edge of the digital world. It applies just as much as in the real one.
As new members of the Brno community, we are pleased to announce a meaningful partnership with ZOO Brno, supporting the reconstruction of the Beringia enclosure – the future home of polar bears. Our donation will contribute to creating a safe and modern environment for the exhibit’s iconic resident Cora, along with two newly arrived female polar bears, Anna and Elsa.

This is more than a gift. It is an expression of what we stand for: respect, responsibility, and a commitment to protecting what is vulnerable. Whether it is securing global internet communications or helping create a safe home for endangered animals, we believe in security and privacy for everyone.

During the signing ceremony, ZOO Brno Director Radana Dungelová shared a sentiment that resonated deeply with us:
Polar bears represent a return and a new beginning for our ZOO. Thanks to this partnership, we can ensure even better care for the animals and continue to develop their home. We are one pack — and with new partners, we are stronger.
We could not agree more!

The OpenSSL Corporation is growing its roots in Brno — a city full of talent, openness, and integrity. Supporting ZOO Brno’s mission is just one way we are demonstrating our long-term commitment to this community and the values we share.
Visit the Bears in Person
The newly reconstructed Beringia enclosure will open to the public on July 27, 2025 as part of a special event: “Vítejte, medvědice!” — “Welcome, She-Bears!”
And we will be there! Join us in celebrating new beginnings — for the bears, for Brno, and for a stronger kind of partnership.
