Prague, May 20, 2025 – Today marks the beginning of a three-day program in Prague and Brno for a delegation of nearly thirty Ukrainian space technology experts. The goal of this mission is to deepen Czech-Ukrainian cooperation in the space sector. The mission is organized by the CzechInno association with financial, organizational, and professional support from four Czech ministries: the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Transport, and the Ministry of Defence, as well as the Office of the Government of the Czech Republic, which is hosting several parts of the mission program.

The CzechInno organization is part of the DevelopDataExchange project, which aims to advance data exchange in the Danube region to improve the efficient absorption of European funds and Invest EU. The project addresses key regional challenges, including low participation in European funding calls, insufficient sectoral cooperation, and administrative barriers that hinder effective financial utilization.
