Investment Incentive — Technology Centres
Provides financial support for technology centre growth with a focus on research and innovation.
The Investment Incentive for Technology Centres is the R&D-heavy track inside the same CzechInvest and Ministry of Industry and Trade framework. Compared with manufacturing, it starts from much lower capital thresholds and is meant for projects building research, development, and technology-centre capacity in the Czech Republic. Small enterprises can qualify from CZK 2.5 million and 10 new jobs, medium enterprises from CZK 5 million and 10 jobs, and large enterprises from CZK 10 million and 20 jobs. Strategic projects start at CZK 200 million and 70 jobs. Support can include up to 10 years of corporate income tax relief, CZK 200,000 per job in creation grants, training subsidies covering 50% to 70% of costs, and a cash grant of up to 20% of eligible costs at the strategic tier. The track is a strong fit for companies that are already ready to place R&D staff and infrastructure in-country but do not need manufacturing-scale investment. The lower thresholds make it more accessible than the manufacturing incentive, while the higher state-aid intensity rewards projects that can anchor a serious technology-centre footprint.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
