The OECD.AI Policy Navigator

The Digital Economy and Society (DES) strategy is part of the Czech government's Digital Czech Republic program. It aims to prepare economic and social sectors for digital transformation by supporting the development of artificial intelligence across various industries. This initiative helps businesses and society adopt AI technologies to improve efficiency and innovation.

Occupational licensing can serve legitimate public interests, but it can also create unnecessary barriers to entering the labor market. Czechia regulates more than 300 professions, and for many of them little is known about whether requirements are in line with practice in comparable EU countries. The Government Analytical Office developed an automated multi-agent system to assess all regulated professions and provide evidence for ministerial decisions on where rules could be simplified.

Scheduled for launch in 2025, this initiative under the European Digital Programme aims to create a shared data pool to facilitate smoother and more efficient data sharing across public administrations.

This initiative, running between 2025 and 2031, is aimed at strengthening innovation within existing companies and adapting to industrial and technological shifts. It emphasises supporting AI research and industrial applications through strategic investments, with a specific focus on AI, quantum technologies, and semiconductors. The first call for projects targets AI R&D.

This project aims to enhance citizens' access to digital public administration services using AI.
