Trends
Information on new research and development findings and new technologies comes to the business sphere only with difficulty. This is a global as well as a Czech problem. Trends activities within the Consulting Programme should contribute to solving this problem.
From this programme, it will be possible to obtain information on new trends, technologies, scientific and research findings, and business opportunities, as well as on successful innovations and business activities in selected fields. At the same time, Trends will be focused on strengthening the general awareness of the necessity to implement progressive innovations and modern methods of doing business and their effective benefit for building the prosperity and competitive abilities of companies and the national economy as a whole.
The aim is to promote the elimination of barriers inhibiting the transfer of information that is important for conducting business. Trends will thus facilitate the access of ministries, implementation agencies, universities and research institutes to information needed for qualified prediction of future development and for decision-making in the area of innovation activities. Publication of the programme for the corporate level is expected in the second half of 2008.
The results are analyses focused on technological forecasts and scenarios, sector and regional perspectives, special-purpose analyses, technology news and reports.
