Ústí for Tech:
We’re seeking technology startupsWe’re mapping technology-oriented startup companies and projects with commercial potential (not only) from the Ústí Region with the aim of jump-starting the region and its business environment.
Ústí for Tech is the web presentation of a project involving the mapping of regional capacities in the context of CzechInvest’s prepared Technology Incubation project. It is being implemented thanks to financial support from the Ústí Regional Fund.
In the future, the national Technology Incubation project will offer a combination of financial and non-financial tools for the development of technology start-ups in seven key areas – the creative industries, mobility, artificial intelligence and IT, the environment, space technologies, nuclear and particle physics, and crisis response. For each of these areas, a network of technology incubators and hubs will operate in the Czech Republic. The project is being prepared by CzechInvest in cooperation with partners from the public and private sectors.
