Regional Cooperation
South Moravia supports innovation
In the Czech Republic, South Moravia was the first region to started to focus on the support of innovation and that was in 2001. A year later it was also the first region to create and implement a regional innovation strategy. From this time, a second version was also implement RIS II (2005), whose implemenation was also successfully carried out. It’s implementation was completed in 2008 and will be replaced by a third phase, RIS III (implementation from 2009 – 2013). Activities implemented in both phases of the innovation strategy propelled South Moravia into a leading position in the field of innovation support and innovation business in the Czech Republic.
Brno is the best place for innovation
The CEITEC project is implemented in South Moravia, where historically an optimal structure of universities exists, which is above the norm in Europe. Other than technical and humanities fields, Brno can also boast Veterinary research and a pharmaceutical faculty, which creates the ideal conditions for innovations in these fields. The assumption that Brno can become the best place for innovation is founded on the fact the more than 80,000 students study at 12 universities.
Support for CEITEC at region level
South Moravia has invested more than 500 million crowns into the support of research, development and innovation in the last 5 years and plans to intensive increase investment in this area. The leadership of South Moravia aims to strengthen international cooperation in research and development organisations through Brokerage events, which should significantly assist the cooperation of research teams and businesses from the region with international scientific research projects.
The leadership of Brno signed on the 9.6.2008 a framework agreement of cooperation with the leadership of Masaryk University and the Technical University in Brno. The agreement fulfils joint strategy goals to successful prepare and implement the Central European Technological Institute project. For the leadership of Brno, mayor Roman Onderka sign the agreement.
Regional Innovation Strategy (RIS) introduces effective instruments, which will enable the building of innovation infrastructures necessary for the creation of innovation. RIS of South Moravia is key to solving issues and requirements which have been identified on the basis of surveys into the business and scientific research areas in the region. Innovation represents in the current global economic climate a key advantage in competitiveness in the global economy.
The South Moravian innovation centre is one of the main contributors of the project supporting innovation businesses in the Czech Republic. This is a project financed by funds from the state budget and the European structural funds. The activities of the South Moravian Innovation Centre are laid out in the RIS documentation, support for innovation and innovation businesses is also a strategy of the city of Brno.
Support for innovation potential in South Moravia
The South Moravian centre of international mobility
is a specialised agency supporting gifted students and staff in science to work in South Moravia. Its goal is to effectively support the influx of students and scientists to the region and create conditions for the development of gifted students studying in the South Moravian region.
Technological incubator
The technological incubator provides a protected environment for start-up innovation firms. The incubator offers start-up business not only premises at favourable rents and with office services, but also guidance regarding financing, protection of Intellectual Property and the creation of good business plans.
Biotechnological incubator INBIT
The Biotechnological incubator INBIT is a building with non-residential space, which allows approved businesses, favourable rents, advice servies and other services typical for an incubator.
Innovation vouchers
The aim of innovation vouchers is to support cooperation of companies and universities with reseach and development. It is a one-off grant awarded to business in the form of a cheque. This is intended for the purchase of services / expertese from suppliers, in this case universities. The know-how gained should allow firms to move forward with innovating their own products, proceses and services.
