The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic announced several calls for projects focused on digital transformation and energy savings, i.e. calls of the Technology Programme – Industry 4.0 and Energy Savings Programme. Applicants can draw subsidies for their projects in the amount of up to several tens of millions of CZK within individual calls, especially to cover their investment costs. In total, more than CZK 2.5 billion should be distributed among businesses within these calls.
The Technology Programme supports projects with a further development strategy in the field of digital transformation through the acquisition of new technologies connecting information systems (existing or new) or other implemented modules connecting all or most areas of business activities (e.g. production management, inventory, purchase, sale, finance or human resources).
For one project, the applicant can receive the aid of up to CZK 40 million. The allocation for this call is set at CZK 550 million.
