CGIF 2019: Institutional Support for R&D in Germany and the Czech Republic

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?
