Electronics, electrical engineering and ICT

Electronics, electrical engineering and ICT are fields that intersect with virtually all branches of industry today. They are intertwined with areas of public interest, health, education, the environment, transportation and more. Due to these facts, they have been well established in the region for a long time. Simply because the demand for them is growing with the gradual digitization of society. Research activities are also on the rise. The resulting knowledge is becoming a key prerequisite for further development for companies.

The regional self-government is significantly involved in the field of ICT. The Smarter Region concept developed in the premises of the Regional Development Agency for the Liberec Region was approved in 2019. The concept sets priorities for the use of smart technologies (especially ICT) for areas within the competence of Liberec Region. Following this, an action plan was drawn up for pilot projects in selected topics, which have a great chance of being implemented in the next three years. The plan was awarded the first prize in the VISION category in the fourth year of the Smart Cities competition by the Smart City Innovations Institute in 2020.

The well-established Liberec Business Incubator Lipo.ink also operates under the auspices of the Regional Development Agency, focusing on supporting the creation of companies with high added value based on local know-how. Among other things, in the field of electronics, electrical engineering and ICT.
