European financial resources to support information technology also for the KARAT IS
In the context of the Czech Republic entry into the European Union, the EU structural funds have become accessible also for small and middle-sized Czech companies. These funds are purposed to compensate the differences of the economic and social levels of the member states and regions within the EU. One of the key priorities of this process is to support development of small and middle-size businesses so now it is possible for the Czech companies to obtain money also from these structural funds.
Some of the programmes allow projects in the area of implementation of information systems and development of information technologies in companies. It is particularly the ROZVOJ (DEVELOPMENT) programme of the Operational Programme Industry and Enterprise (but this programme has an admittedly small amount of financial resources allocated), Measure 1.1 of Joint Regional Operational Programme, and several measures of other programmes financed by the European Social Fund.
Considering the fact that a project preparation, project analysis and project application administration is very demanding, I. F. T. PROGRES has begun to cooperate closely with a specialized company EURONEST Třebíč that deals professionally with project preparation and related activities. In case you find the possibility of co-financing your projects interesting, do not hesitate to contact either us or directly our colleagues in EURONEST to discuss all possibilities.
EURONEST s.r.o. is an entirely Czech company oriented towards Europe. Our experience originates from long-term performance in ENVINET Třebíč, a strong financial group within which we were transformed into an independent company in September 2003. Our activities are to prepare small and medium-sized Czech companies for entry into the EU, consultancy, implementation and outsourcing of process systems for quality, environment and safety management based on the European and world-wide standards (ISO, EN), and process management informatization. Our activities also include grant projects administration for obtaining financial aid from the EU pre-structural and structural funds, Czech grant schemes administration and subsequent management of the development investment projects. EURONEST was one of the first subjects in the Czech Republic to acquire the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certificates for preparation and management of the investment projects for EU funds.
During our existence, we administered a few dozens of various development projects, for example the preparation of the investment project and grant application for building the approach road to the industrial area in Velké Meziříčí, or the administration of the Operational Programme Industry and Enterprise project for the implementation of an information system in ALFA IN, a.s.
