"The JIC has a unique knowledge of innovative technology companies. On the basis of our ideas JIC experts identified dozens of interesting companies, not only in the energy sector, but also in data processing and the development of drones. We chose the ones which appealed to us most and the JIC then organized a meeting with them. I appreciate the comprehensive services that the centre provided for us. In the future, the JIC will remain an important and reliable partner for us in the search for new technologies."

"The JIC staff significantly contributed to the establishment of our collaboration with the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University (FI MU). The tripartite cooperation of Meopta, FI MU and the JIC, and the moderation of initial meetings allowed us to define the terms of reference for the project submission Inobino within the Olomouc Region innovation voucher scheme. Our application was successfully approved and the project is now under way."

"Within one day we had the opportunity to meet several innovative companies and start-ups. We presented the IBM strategy to these companies, as well as our solutions, analytical tools, IBM Watson, Big data and cloud. All the selected participants were interesting for us and we entered into negotiations with some of them. The organisation of the meetings and the quality of the presented companies pleasantly surprised us and, on the basis of this event, we plan to establish long-term cooperation with the JIC."
