Founder
Prague Innovation Institute was founded in January 2020. The public benefit organization was established as a registered office by the Capital City of Prague. It is controlled by the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board. The main goal of PII is to plan, support and advance education, environmental protection, the city´s infrastructure, and scientific, R&D, creative, cultural and innovational enterprises and non-business activities in order to improve Prague´s competitiveness.
The role of PII is to make connection between the academic, public, and private spheres. PII is funded by its founding institution and through the EU funding programs. Private funding is expected to become relevant in the future as well.
