Innovation Centre of the Ústí Region

THE INNOVATION CENTRE OF THE ÚSTÍ REGION
In 2015, the Innovation Centre of the Ústí Region (ICUK) was founded by the Ústí Region Office, the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Jan Evangelista Purkyně University.
ICUK is a respected teammate in the transformation of the Ústí Region into a place where citizens, students and entrepreneurs would like to stay, where they would return and where talented people with the desire to participate in this change would also actively come. We have been one of the carriers of the vision of a functional innovation ecosystem in the region and a persistent fighter for its creation.
We are a responsible partner to our founders in the preparation and implementation of strategic priorities for the development of entrepreneurship and the knowledge economy. With insight and an open mind, we take inspiration from the best at home and abroad, share our ideas and experience with other partners in the region and together with them create and implement new solutions that support entrepreneurship, business and cooperation of active people in our region.
