We eagerly await the next APPLICATIONS programme!

The aim of the Applications programme is to support small, medium and large enterprises in industrial research and experimental development projects carried out individually (enterprises) or in consortia (enterprise and research organisation/university) with a focus on selected advanced technologies such as DEEP TECH or in the field of ICT. Enterprises will share the allocation of CZK 3 billion in the case of the DEEP TECH call and CZK 1 billion in the case of the IT call. Once again, you will have a unique opportunity to get funding for your research project. Are you in?

Who can apply for funding

  • Companies of all sizes in the Czech Republic outside the capital city of Prague can apply. However, large enterprises only in cooperation with a small or medium-sized enterprise.
  • A research organisation can be a partner (however, it is not a condition for its involvement in the project).

What can be subsidised

  • Personnel costs – salaries and insurance premiums of researchers, technicians
  • Costs for contract research and consultancy services
  • Material for the research, development and innovation activities of the project
  • Costs of tools, instruments and equipment in the form of tax depreciation
  • Overheads and other operating costs which are not in the nature of research/development activities but are directly related to the project implementation

Amount of subsidy

  • The amount of the subsidy ranges from EUR 3 to 125 million. CZK 125 million.
  • The level of support depends on the size of the beneficiary, the category of activities and whether the project is carried out in effective cooperation. It can reach up to 85 %.

Examples of supported activities

The grant will help fund industrial research and experimental development projects focusing on selected advanced DEEP TECH technologies , such as advanced computing and quantum computing, advanced manufacturing and materials, aerospace, automotive and remote sensing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cyber security and data protection, electronics and photonics, robotics or sustainable energy and clean technologies, and other fields

You can develop new products and services, improve existing solutions or, for example, create entirely new software.
