Innovation is not just a buzzword for us. It consists of concrete steps that help companies, people, and the entire region grow. These are ideas that do not just stay on paper but are given space, support, and a chance to turn into real results.
As the Hradec Králové Region Innovation Centre Plus Innovation – simply Plusko – we were established to be a guide in the world of innovation, entrepreneurship, digitalization, sustainability, and subsidy opportunities. We are backed by a strong parent organization, the Centre for Investment, Development and Innovation, which provides us with a stable foundation and support.
We help companies, schools, startups, researchers, and public administration find new paths.
Our team of developers, project managers, and expert consultants helps companies, schools, startups, research organizations, and public administration find new paths, develop their potential, and move the Hradec Králové Region forward. Our goal is for the region not only to keep pace with the times but to be one step ahead.
We know that an idea alone is not enough. Neither is talent or enthusiasm. What matters is the right strategy, support, funding, contacts, and the courage to take the first step. That is why we offer consultancy, education, financial instruments, and a strong network of partners. We connect schools with companies, startups with investors, research with practice, and people with opportunities. We create an environment where potential becomes a concrete result.

Head of Plus Innovation
Three pillars. One direction.
Our work is built on three pillars that complement and reinforce each other:
- entrepreneurship
- digitalization
- sustainability.
Together, they form the foundation for the development of a modern, competitive, and attractive Hradec Králové Region.
Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is fundamental to us. Without it, innovation would remain mere theory.
We support it starting from secondary schools, where we awaken the entrepreneurial spirit in students, develop their creativity, and show them how the world of companies, markets, and innovation works. We work with scientific, technical, and creative talents and connect them with practice.
We help aspiring entrepreneurs with their first steps – from formulating an idea and creating a business model to product validation and seeking funding. We offer established companies tools that help them grow, innovate, enter new markets, and strengthen their competitiveness.
For us, entrepreneurship is not just about starting companies. It is a way of thinking. A willingness to seek solutions, take responsibility, and move things forward.
Digitalization
Digitalization is not an optional extra today. It is an essential part of the functioning of modern companies and organizations.
New technologies, robotics, artificial intelligence, automation, or cybersecurity are changing the way we work, produce, communicate, and make decisions. We help companies navigate these topics and use them meaningfully, safely, and effectively.
Through educational events, internships, networking meetings, expert consultancy, and financial vouchers, we support the implementation of modern technologies in production, services, and internal processes. We view digitalization as a practical way to increase efficiency, resilience, and competitiveness.
Sustainability
For us, sustainability means long-term responsibility towards the region.
It is not just about reducing the carbon footprint or environmental measures. It is about the systematic development of the Hradec Králové Region so that it is attractive to companies, talents, residents, and future generations.
We support projects that help strengthen the region’s stability, develop its economy, and at the same time think responsibly about resources, people, and the environment in which we live. We cooperate with small and medium-sized enterprises, schools, research organizations, public administration, and future entrepreneurs.
Our goal is to create a region that can grow smartly, responsibly, and with a clear vision.
We are a partner for everyone who wants to innovate, do business, digitalize, seek new opportunities, or move their project forward.
We believe that the Hradec Králové Region has enormous potential. Our job is to help turn this potential into results that have a real impact.
