Malešice Can Bring Together Technology, Research and Education

What would the modern industry look like, if it were not hidden behind a fence, but became a natural part of the city? A new article on the Newstream.cz server explores this question and presents plans for the development of the Malešice Technology Park.

The aim of this TTC initiative is to create a place where technology companies, startups, research organizations, and universities can come together. Part of the park would also include laboratories, prototyping workshops and premises for light “non-disruptive” manufacturing. Malešice offers a suitable environment for this vision, as well as a reachable transport access.

The transformation of this industrial zone requires the cooperation of owners, the city of Prague and the academic sector. Therefore, TTC has also been discussing the future of this area with other landowners, the Prague Institute of Planning and Development, and the Czech Technical University in Prague. The new Metropolitan Plan also makes adequate provisions for the technology park.

The first concrete steps are already underway. The technology centre OXYMA, which is planned to become the central building of the park, will be built on the site of a former high-rise printing plant and should open at the beginning of 2029. The technology coworking BRAIN CONNECT Prague, supplemented by testing facilities and prototype workshops, should begin its operations in 2027 in a renovated part of the site.
