Key R&D calls kick off. Last chance to start preparing

The long-awaited calls for R&D support have been officially announced and applications are now open. Companies now have the last opportunity to start preparing projects in order to meet the deadlines for submitting applications and take advantage of the available support.

Both the DEEP TECH and TWIST applications are now running, with application windows being relatively short. The delay we reported on in the previous article has thus turned into a sharp start – so it is advisable to start preparing as soon as possible and ensure that the project meets all requirements and is competitive.

What’s running right now?

Application – DEEP TECH (CALL IV)Receipt of applications: 29/10/2025 – 19/2/2026Support for research and development in the field of advanced technologies, implementation outside Prague

Subsidies up to 85%, max. 100 mil. CZK

TWIST – 2nd public tenderApplications received: 31/10/2025 –17/12/2025Support for research and development projects focused on the use of artificial intelligence in practice, implementation throughout the Czech Republic, including Prague

Subsidy up to 70%, max. 30 mil. CZK

The TREND – 13th VS – Technology Leaders call is still awaiting announcement, but the assumption is aimed at the 1st quarter of 2026.

Why start now?

The challenges are competitive – quality is decisive and the time for preparation is limited.
Programs require a clear strategy, a definition of partnerships, and precisely prepared budgets and market analyses.
Competition is traditionally strong.
