Artificial intelligence is a key driver of innovation in Czech industry, research, and public services. The Czech AI ecosystem is growing rapidly, supported by strong cooperation between academia, business, and government, and reflects the latest global trends.
Czech research institutions excel in machine learning, robotics, computer vision, and natural language processing. Notable projects include the CLARA Centre of Excellence, AI-MATTERS, and the LUMI AI Factory supercomputer network.
The Czech Association for Artificial Intelligence supports education and innovation across disciplines. Initiatives such as prg.ai, Brno.AI, Zlin.AI, and the National AI Platform connect academia, industry, and the public sector.
More than 11% of Czech companies use AI technologies, with adoption exceeding 40% among large enterprises. The most common applications include generative AI, natural language processing, and image analysis. In 2024, private investment in AI projects reached over CZK 14.5 billion.
AI development is supported by both private investors and European funding programmes such as Horizon Europe and Digital Europe. International cooperation strengthens the Czech Republic’s position in the European and global AI landscape.
