    Frequently asked questions

    Is there a deadline?

    No. The open call runs continuously; send your pitch deck whenever you are ready.

    Does the pitch deck have to be in English?

    We prefer English, because the fund is international. If you only have it in Czech, we will help you with it.

    Is it only about energy?

    No. The seven areas cover the whole clean-tech value chain, including circular economy and mobility.
