The Technology Agency of the Czech Republic is an organizational unit of the state that was
founded in 2009. The creation of Technology Agency of the Czech Republic is one of the cornerstones
of the fundamental reforms in research and development (R&D) in the Czech Republic. The key
features of the reform is the redistribution of financial support from the national budget. The
Technology Agency of the Czech Republic simplifies the state support of applied research and
experimental development which has been fragmented and implemented by many bodies before the
reform.
