Development

Do you need to gain new production capacities? Do you need to produce more quickly, with higher precision and efficiency? Is your firm in the category of small and medium enterprises? If you have answered yes to these questions, the Development Programme is intended for you.

Through subsidies for technical equipment, the Development Programme helps to accelerate the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Using investments in modern technologies, the programme encourages the development of firms in selected regions and branches of the Czech economy.
