Welcome to Ostrava - ICT Sector B2B Mission

The Czech Republic is one of Europe´s top locations for information and communication technology. The Czech Republic’s ICT-friendly policies, skilled workforce, good infrastructure and well-developed optical-fibre network make it the most prominent location in the EU in terms of ICT. In order to maintain the country’s competitiveness, massive investments in ICT infrastructure are expected from the Czech government during the 2014 – 2020 period, as ICT is one of the government’s designated priority sectors.

The world´s top ICT companies have branches in Ostrava (e.g.: Tieto, IBM, DHL, Stora Enso). Ostrava has been gaining importance in recent years and is on the path to greater international recognition thanks to projects such as IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Centre. Ostrava is home to the country’s top universities and research institutes.
