CTP has announced a significant new project within its T-Park technology campus in Ostrava, Czech Republic. The EUR 50 million investment will bring the T6 multifunctional building to life, covering approximately 30,000 sqm and designed to bridge the gap between science, technology, and business. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
T-Park, managed by the Moravian-Silesian Innovation Centre Ostrava (MSIC), is already a hub for technological research and development, hosting companies like Porsche Engineering and Invent Medical. The T6 building aims to amplify this success, offering a comprehensive mix of state-of-the-art offices, development labs, coworking zones, CTBoxes, and prototype workshops across five floors. Additional features include a café on the ground floor to promote community engagement, rental apartments, and two underground parking levels spanning 9,000 sqm for tenants and visitors.
“The T6 project aligns with our mission to create spaces that encourage collaboration between companies, researchers, and talent. Ostrava’s strong innovation potential and proximity to the VŠB-TUO campus make it a strategic region for us. This development is not just about infrastructure but about fostering an ecosystem where ideas become tangible solutions,” said Jakub Kodr, Head of Business Development, CTP Czech Republic.
The T6 building integrates harmoniously with the surrounding urban environment. Its design transitions from a terraced structure near residential areas to a full-height façade adjacent to the VŠB-TUO campus, maximizing functionality. The ground floor will feature social and community spaces, including a restaurant, café, nursery, and coworking zones, while upper floors will house advanced laboratories and office spaces. This thoughtful design supports collaboration between businesses, researchers, and students, enhancing T-Park’s role as a hub for innovation.
“This facility is critical for VŠB-TUO, supporting technology transfer and providing opportunities for our talent just steps away from the university. It strengthens both our institution and Ostrava’s reputation as a technological leader,” noted Prof. Ing. Igor Ivan, Ph.D., Vice-Rector for Strategy and Cooperation at VŠB-TUO.
Adéla Hradilová, Chairwoman of the MSIC Board of Directors, added, “Our collaboration with CTP aims to create a dynamic space where research and business intersect. Beyond fostering innovation, the T6 project emphasizes sustainable development, boosting the region’s economic, social, and educational landscape.”
The T6 building is designed to meet the highest standards of sustainability, with features including green roofs, rainwater harvesting systems, solar panels, and optimized energy-efficient interiors. The project will be certified to BREEAM’s highest standards. CTP is also contributing to infrastructure improvements, such as building a surface road and preserving open parkland near Poruba Forest Park.
This ambitious development exemplifies the synergy between city governance, universities, and private investment, further solidifying Ostrava’s position as a major European centre for research, development, and innovation. CTP already owns nearly one million sqm of leasable space in Ostrava and continues to expand its presence in this high-potential region.
