WELCOME. .. to a special edition of the Technology Incubation newsletter. Let’s look back together at the past year.

We have opened two project calls in 2023. The first (18. May – 19 June) was dedicated to startups from the fields of mobility, AI, creative industries and ecotech. The second one (17 November – 18 December) was successfully extended by biotechnology, advanced materials, healthcare and security solutions.

In 2023, we started collaboration and incubation with 37 startups from the first project call, which was announced in 2022.

That’s how many startups were proposed for support in the first project call of 2023. The planned amount of support is over 135 miles. CZK.

It is the number of women founders who have registered their project or startup for pre-incubation. In general, the proportion of women is only 13%.

This is how many consultations with those interested in incubation were carried out by colleagues from ESA BIC Czech Republic. They resulted in 7 newly incubated startups. Last year, they added to the fleet of 53 space technology companies.

This is how many applications for support were submitted in last year’s project calls. Most of them were from the AI field – 109, followed by Creative Industries with 87 applications, EcoTech with 73 applications and Mobility with 43 applications. New areas opened only in the second call received 41 applications for Tech4Life and 12 applications for Advanced Tech Materials.

“The year 2024 will be focused on the further development of the project and its key areas. We also expect to announce two project calls. We will actively support newly opened sectors and establish closer cooperation between the Space Hub and the ESA BIC Czech Republic space incubator, which will develop the amount and breadth of support offered through Technology Incubation. Currently, startups from our community can apply to CzechInvest Investment Academy or join the competition Creative Business Cup , this year’s national round will take place under the auspices of Creative Hub on 14 March in Liberec, and the application period closes on 10 January.”
