A Czech deep tech team can fund its first prototype from home: CzechInvest, ESA BIC and TA ČR all back early, risky technology. Scaling takes European money, where one EIC Accelerator deal can be worth 60× a Czech incubation grant.
Czech startups promised about CZK 646M through CzechInvest's Technology Incubation so far.
What a Czech space startup can get when ESA BIC and Technology Incubation are combined, up from €50K before 2024.
Companies selected after the EIC Accelerator jury interviews in June 2026, sharing about €90M in grants.
Our take for founders: use Czech money to get to a working prototype, then go for the EIC. TA ČR also runs a national call for teams that scored an EIC Seal of Excellence without EU funding, so a near-miss in Brussels can still pay off at home.
