What is waiting for you in the JIC ENTER programme?

  1. Draw up a business plan

    Complete the online application to the JIC ENTER programme. As long as it is approved by at least 2 JIC experts, you are in the programme!

  2. Put together a plan of action

    At the initial consultation we go through your project thoroughly. Together we set business goals and plan how to achieve them.

  3. Draw in knowledge

    You can attend workshops, read in the JIC library or discuss with other teams in the JIC hallways. Ideally all three together.

  4. Get specific advice

    Have regular meetings with the JIC consultants, who will connect you with selected experts on business, marketing and soft skills.

  5. Acquire continuous evaluation

    Every month we will evaluate whether you are going in the right direction. No blind alleys!

  6. Be in an inspirational environment

    Up to 3 people from your team will be able to work in a fully equipped coworking space in the JIC INMEC building.

  7. Pick up contacts

    A minimum of 2 events are held every month for aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs at the JIC, so there will be no shortage of opportunities.

  8. Be in the picture

    Our newsletter and other communication channels mean that you won't miss any business opportunities.

  9. Mature for investments

    We will help you determine when you are ready. When that time arrives, we will connect you with investors or recommend appropriate grant opportunities.

As long as you fulfil the objectives, which you have set up jointly with the consultant, you can stay in JIC ENTER for up to 6 months. For the services of consultants and mentors, educational workshops, space in the coworking area for up to 3 people and other services, you contribute a symbolic sum of only 1,500 CZK a month.

  • "Our expectations of the JIC ENTER programme were not great.  However the outcome has proved to be significant and valuable. Thanks to consultations and a great variety of services we have managed to prepare ourselves for the company’s first steps and realise what our direction should be. With clear goals and strategies, our business has picked up speed. The contacts established thanks to networking activities at JIC are very valuable as well."

    SPEM - Scanning Probe and Electron Microscopy. It is an integration of a SPM unit into the Scanning Electron Microscope, thus allowing the user to measure (3D) topography of the examined specimen (SEM is 2D only). SPEM is created when the resulting system is adequately adjusted to concurrent scanning using both methods and suitable software solution.

  • "Being an engineer specialising in development, I had no way of knowing what kind of obstacles I would encounter in business, let alone how to prepare myself for them. The JIC ENTER programme showed me what my first steps must be about. I was introduced into a friendly and enthusiastic environment full of contacts with companies, prototyping centres or people from the academia who helped me move forward. Without the support from JIC ENTER I would have been stuck."

    Luboš Čejka | owner of Lan2M

    Lan2M is a industrial router that enables VPN communication tunnel between the machine and its manufacturer. That means quicker diagnostics and lower service costs for the manufacturer.

  • Thanks to the complexity of the JIC ENTER programme we managed to resolve most issues that all new companies have to deal with. We have perfected the essence of the product; we managed to secure a spot in the JIC coworking programme and eventually, as we grew, we got ourselves our own offices. Thanks to the neverending networking activities of JIC we met our first investors and established valuable contacts with business partners.

  • "Our involvement in the JIC ENTER programme helped us realise what we want to achieve with our company. More importantly, we have established valuable contacts with professionals in the field of tax or legal consulting, resulting in solid foundations for the company and eliminating the fear that important issues have been ignored."

    David Filip | owner of Vialtek

    Vialtek specializes in manufacturing tools for wine analysis. Developed devices offer cheap and high quality alternative for testing wine directly in wineries.

  • "I expected the JIC Enter programme to turn my excellent idea into a viable business. In fact, it has given me a lot more: an excellent environment for learning through interactions and cooperation with other people, allowing me to realize that I had been looking at it all wrong. I learned to see ideas primarily from the business point of view, and only then from my emotional point of view."

    Tomáš Brukner | zakladatel Code Monocle

  • "Throughout the JIC ENTER programme all key steps were pointed out to us that needed extra attention. The programme guided us through the early stages of the project, allowing us to realise what our goal was, as well as to determine every person’s role in order to achieve the goal. We are still meeting many people at JIC who enrich us, or even become our clients."

    Lucie Vystrčilová | Itea4you

  • "The JIC ENTER programme represented a key turning point for our project that made us think deeper about our problems, about our target customers and about our goals in life. JIC is a platform that turns projects into viable companies. Every day you meet people dealing with similar problems who are eager to share their experience with you. JIC was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me."

Frequently asked questions

Who can enrol in JIC ENTER?

Individuals and teams with innovative technological ideas, products or services, and which do not yet have paying customers, are welcome. Do you want to open a bike shop? Then, the programme is not suitable for you. Do you make bikes from ultra-light materials, but do not know how to begin selling? You’re our person!

What if I do not suit JIC ENTER?

You can still visit workshops and seminars from which you can gain important knowledge for building your business. If you have customers, you can participate in the JIC MASTER programme. For those whose projects are in the field of Internet of Things or ICT Security, then we offer the international accelerator JIC STARCUBE. You can also validate your business idea at a JIC Grill event, where you will get valuable feedback.

What is waiting for me in JIC ENTER?

In the initial consultation we find out in which areas your project is strong and which areas need to be moved further ahead. Accordingly, we prepare a plan for the next few weeks and months and we steer you on the way to your first paying customers. You participate in various workshops and seminars and regular consultations with experts. You will fulfil specified tasks, go to regular meetings with your consultant, and assess whether you are meeting the objectives. Throughout this period, up to 3 people from your team can take advantage of the coworking space.

Who will help me with starting a project?

From the JIC consultants and more than 80 external experts, we choose the “stars” in your field who are most able to help you.

How long does JIC ENTER last?

You can remain in the programme as long as you need – up to 6 months. Do not forget, however, that during this time you must fulfil the plan of activities and move your business project forward.

What happens after the end of JIC ENTER?

That is entirely up to you! Maybe you will attract investment or establish a company, and then maybe we will meet again in the follow-up programme JIC MASTER. And if not, we will be happy to see you at other JIC events. .

When and how can I apply to JIC ENTER?

All applicants will meet our internal experts and those will be invited to a Selection Day. Here, each company will present itself to a jury consisting of representatives of the JIC and external experts. The jury will select the companies that will be accepted. Just complete the online application form and we will get back to you with further instructions.

How much does JIC ENTER cost?

For the services of consultants and mentors, educational workshops, space in the coworking area for up to 3 people and other services, you contribute a symbolic sum of 1,500 CZK a month. You are helping us to cover the costs in running the JIC.
