The Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, in cooperation with the Ministry of Transport, has published the preliminary parameters of the 4th call to participate in TRANSPORT 2030 under the Programme to Support Applied Research and Innovation in Transport.
The call targets projects that bring benefits to the transport sector and are based on new approaches, technological solutions and services. Its thematic scope covers research in all modes of transport (i.e., land, water and air), including all types of vehicles and transport infrastructure.
In the project proposal, it is necessary to choose one of the programme’s specific objectives:
- Sustainable, accessible and safe transport
- Automation, digitisation and technologically advanced transport
- Low-emission and environmentally friendly transport
The call is planned to be announced on 13 May 2026, and the submission of applications for support will run until 8 July 2026. The expected funds for allocation are CZK 400 million, with the maximum aid amount per project set at CZK 30 million. The maximum aid intensity for large enterprises typically ranges from 25% to 65% of eligible costs, with certain project-related operating costs eligible for support.
Project outputs may include, for example, an industrial design or utility model, a functional sample, a prototype, a patent, software, a pilot plant, or a proven technology. The project should be completed no later than December 2030.
Companies of all sizes may participate in the call. Projects may be implemented anywhere in the Czech Republic, including Prague.
We will keep you informed about further details of the call.
