Czech Business Review's signature cluster maps the companies behind the country's technology economy rather than treating funding rounds as isolated events. It connects Czech-founded and Czech-based technology businesses with startup financing, AI and software specialisms, public investment support and the broader economy. Persistent company nodes and the technology-company database provide continuity when ownership, funding, headquarters or operating scale changes over time.
Second authority pillar
Second signature research cluster
Czech Energy, Nuclear Investment and Industrial Power Security
Czech Business Review's second signature cluster follows the investment decisions that will shape Czech electricity supply and industrial competitiveness for decades. Nuclear expansion, ČEZ investment, grid development, financing, EU policy and energy-intensive industry belong in the same research system because the commercial question is not simply how much generation is announced. It is whether projects are financed, permitted, connected and delivered on a timetable compatible with industrial demand.
Core assets for this cluster
Pillar hub
The permanent editorial hub that organises the topic around its main operating and research questions.
Research layer
The maintained tracker, index or reference resource that gives the cluster a dated evidence layer rather than a collection of disconnected stories.
Entities
Persistent organisation nodes connecting reporting, first-party reference sources and permanent research products across the archive.
Questions this cluster is built to answer
- Which Czech generation and grid projects are approved, financed, under construction or still proposed?
- How do project cost, financing structure and delivery timetable affect the Czech state and industrial consumers?
- What role do ČEZ, government policy and EU rules play at each stage?
- How does domestic power availability affect data centres, manufacturing and other long-lived industrial investment?
Connected authority areas
Industrial technology, data infrastructure and businesses whose expansion depends on reliable power.
Permanent Czech company, economic and project reference resources.
Neighbouring German grid, power and industrial-policy developments that can affect Central European electricity markets.
Broader capital-market and energy-price context where it materially affects project financing or listed utilities.
Key entities
Company
Persistent CBR coverage for ČEZ where energy investment, infrastructure and the Czech business environment intersect.
Connected reporting
economy
A maintained Czech energy research index connecting nuclear generation, grid investment, ČEZ and industrial power-security reporting.
ai
Czech data-centre and AI infrastructure growth, including electricity demand, grid constraints, major projects and what physical capacity means for Czechia's AI economy.
economy
Czechia’s nuclear expansion depends not only on new Dukovany units but on maintaining the existing four-reactor fleet through a long transition.
ai
ČEZ cut unplanned outages roughly 12% with predictive maintenance AI. Inside the utility's smart-grid build-out — and how it differs from the data-centre story.
economy
How Czechia structured the Dukovany nuclear expansion around KHNP, state financing and two new units, and why execution risk matters more than the headline project price.
technology
Silicon carbide and gallium nitride sit at the intersection of electric vehicles, grids, renewable energy and industrial automation, making them unusually relevant to Czech manufacturing.
economy
A guide to Czech salaries by industry, explaining which sectors tend to pay the most, why Prague differs from the national average and how employers should use wage data.
economy
The CNB Spring 2026 forecast sees Czech GDP growth of 2.5%, inflation of 2.2% and an average CZK/EUR rate of 24.3. What it means for business.
economy
The largest companies in Czechia by reported revenue, with source periods, company context and a methodology that keeps unlike reporting years and group structures visible.
technology
Selection as a strategic supplier to Rolls-Royce SMR gives the Czech nuclear industry a valuable platform. Project approvals and deployment volume will determine the revenue.
technology
Czechia's semiconductor opportunity is spread across power devices, electronics, research, testing and an industrial customer base rather than one giant leading-edge fab.
economy
Czech real wages rose 6.4% in Q1 as pay accelerated, but employers still face a deepening mismatch in available skills.
Cluster methodologyThe cluster prioritises ČEZ disclosures, Czech government and regulator material, European Commission documents and identifiable project counterparties. Planned capacity, contracted work, construction and operating output remain separate. Cost estimates retain their date and scope because nuclear and grid projects change materially as procurement and financing advance.
This is an editorial navigation and research system, not a claim that every linked article reaches the same conclusion. Individual articles and datasets retain their own dates, source trails, definitions and revision history.
Third authority pillar
Third signature research cluster
Czech Exports, Advanced Manufacturing and Foreign Investment
Czech Business Review's third pillar connects export performance with the factories, foreign investors, industrial regions and supplier networks underneath it. The cluster is designed to distinguish national trade values from company revenue and announced investment from production already operating in Czechia.
