OP TAC: Billions will be distributed by the end of the year. Are you ready?
The Operational Programme Technologies and Applications for Competitiveness (OP TAC) offers several interesting opportunities by the end of the year, within which entrepreneurs of all sizes will share almost CZK 7 billion. Below, we have prepared a brief overview of the most important challenges with expected parameters.
Both popular calls in the field of research and development DEEP TECH Applications, Innovation or Potential, as well as calls focused on the digital transformation of companies or the circular economy – Digital Enterprise and Circular Economy – will be announced. A novelty in the OP TAK is the regional focus of some calls. The implementation of projects in Innovation, Digital Enterprise or Potential can only take place in transition regions (Central Bohemia, Pilsen, South Bohemia, South Moravia, Vysočina regions), and Circular Economy projects can only be supported in less developed regions (Ústí, Karlovy Vary, Pardubice, Liberec, Hradec Králové, Moravian-Silesian, Olomouc and Zlín regions).
Don’t miss the opportunity to strengthen your competitiveness – now is the right time to start preparing your project and maximize your chances of successfully receiving support. Our experts will be happy to help you with the entire process – from checking the suitability of the plan to successfully submitting the application.
