Not only the end of this year, but also the first half of the coming year will offer a number of interesting subsidy opportunities. Given that the schedule of calls from the Operational Program Technology and Applications for Competitiveness (OP TAK) for the first six months of 2026 has already been published, we bring you an overview of them.
We have recently informed you about the grant calls prepared for the last months of 2025. These calls support the development of modern technologies, innovation, digitalisation and sustainable business across different sectors.
What opportunities will open up for small, medium and large companies outside Prague? Two calls are expected to be launched in April, three in May and one in June. You can look forward to Digital Enterprise, Innovation Vouchers, Marketing and Applications. More information on the individual calls will be continuously updated in the Grant Radar.
“These are some of the last calls under OP TAK. This corresponds to the limited volume of funds distributed or the limited territorial or thematic focus of calls. The announcement of further calls will depend on the status of spending in the already approved projects, and therefore on the remaining funds in individual OP TAK activities,” explains Ondřej Miffek, Grant Thornton’s expert on subsidies.
This call for proposals will provide financial support for knowledge transfer between research organizations and small and medium-sized enterprises. The call will be aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises.
Through the second Digital Enterprise Call, small and medium-sized enterprises will be able to receive funding to improve their digital performance through the purchase and implementation of advanced non-manufacturing digital technologies.
The fifth Innovation Vouchers call will allow small and medium-sized companies to finance activities that will lead to the development of communication and sharing of knowledge and know-how in the corporate and research sphere. It is expected that business entities will subsequently use this knowledge and know-how to launch or intensify their own innovation activities. Increased interactions between businesses and research and knowledge dissemination organisations or accredited entities must have a direct impact on strengthening the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises.
The third call Marketing will allow small and medium-sized companies from less developed regions to finance participation in exhibitions and trade fairs abroad. The grant can be used for example for the rental of space, stand, participation and operating fees, transport of goods or promotional materials.
This call will also enable small and medium-sized companies to finance participation in exhibitions and trade fairs abroad. However, it will focus only on transition regions. The grant can be used for example for the rental of space, stand, participation and operating fees, transport of goods or promotional materials.
Not only small and medium-sized companies will be able to finance the implementation of industrial research and experimental development thanks to the STEP Application Call. Only projects focused on research and development activities in selected priority areas that have a high potential for creating a long-term competitive advantage for the Czech Republic will be supported.
You can find an overview of all currently open and planned calls in the Grant Radar, where you can clearly filter them by type of applicant and area of interest.

The share of electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES) in Germany’s gross electricity consumption reached a record 58% in the first half of this year.
In recent years, the Czech debate on waste incinerators has shifted from a purely waste-management perspective to one of energy and systemic importance. Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facilities—referred to in Czech as ZEVO—are no longer viewed merely as an "end-of-pipe" solution for municipal solid waste, but also as a source of heat for district heating systems, a replacement for coal-fired sources, and a potential element for strengthening local energy resilience.
The European Commission has adopted a new temporary State aid framework, METSAF (Middle East Crisis Temporary State Aid Framework), designed to enable Member States to provide faster and more targeted support to businesses affected by the repercussions of the crisis in the Middle East.
The European Union is fundamentally changing the rules of the game for packaging. The new PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) introduces a unified framework that is directly binding for all EU member states, significantly impacting manufacturers, distributors, retail, and e-commerce alike.
