About us
#Think business
We are a respected partner in the transformation of the Ústí Region into a place where citizens, students and entrepreneurs will be happy to stay, where they will return and where talented people who want to participate in this change will also actively come.
Since 2015, when the Innovation Center of the Ústí Region was founded by the Ústí Region, Jan Evangelista Purkyně University and the Regional Chamber of Commerce, we have been working to create a functional innovation ecosystem in the region.
To our founders, we are a responsible partner in the preparation and implementation of strategic priorities for the development of business and the knowledge economy. With perspective and an open mind, we are inspired by the best at home and abroad, we share our ideas and experience with other partners in the region, and together with them we create and implement new solutions that support entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship and cooperation of active people in the region.
We help local companies start their business dreams and grow beyond the borders of the region, we connect partners from the world of business, research and education, and we strengthen the attractiveness of the region for investors with high added value. We are looking for opportunities for the region to grow and increase its attractiveness. We consider entrepreneurship to be an important characteristic and driver of change. That's why we follow the motto #Think business! / Think like a business!

They said about us
MARTIN BALEJ
Former rector of UJEP
A necessary condition for the successful comprehensive restructuring of the Ústí Region is the ability of key actors in the region to respond to modern trends in the economy and society as such. ICUK plays an irreplaceable role as an initiator and mediator between private institutions and subjects of the state and non-state spheres leading to the fulfillment of the above.
ADRIANA DERGAM
Former director of corporate communications and vice-chairman of the Vodafone Foundation
ICUK is an important actor in the region, which increases the economic potential of the area, attractiveness for employers and has a long-term strategy of economic transformation of the region and investments in social capital.
FILIP MOLČAN
Good Sailors, CEO
As a mentor, I participate in a number of business accelerators for the entire Czech Republic. I am very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the projects that enter the ICUK business incubator. It is definitely one of the best in the country.
