Recorded 09.04.2019 at Tschechisches Zentrum Berlin

The German-Czech Innovation Festival (CGIF) presents innovations, science, new technologies and startups from the Czech Republic and offers a broad Czech-German platform for innovative business and academic cooperation.

The 4th CGIF focused on visions for innovations and Czech-German cooperation and how we can profit from interfaces between science and business. It was organised by the Czech Centre Berlin, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Berlin and CzechInvest.

WORKSHOP 2: INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT FOR R&D IN GERMANY AND THE CZECH REPUBLIC

The Czech Republic has now – similar to the German High-Tec Strategy – its plan to drive the technological change. But how can those strategies help to shape the environment for innovations and R&D projects in concrete cases? What can the state offer to business pioneers and how to connect the support for academia with the rules of market economy?
