South Bohemian Agency for Support to Innovation (JAIP)

Active since 2005, JAIP is a nonprofit organisation connecting regional players in the fields of research, development and innovation in the South Bohemian Region and developing the region’s innovation ecosystem. With the support of international projects, JAIP tracks current trends in sustainable development, energy efficiency, renewable energy and the transfer of technology, social responsibility, gender, and equal opportunity. We inspire and encourage regional partners with best practices from abroad. In light of the importance of culture and tourism in South Bohemia, JAIP is involved in the DanubeCrafts project, which supports the development of traditional crafts and the related tourism infrastructure in the Czech Republic and throughout the Danube region. As part of this project, JAIP will make a significant contribution to the creation of the “Traditional Crafts Route,” a smartphone app mapping art and traditional crafts in partner countries.
