Čl. I
Government Regulation No 221 / 2019 Coll., on the implementation of certain provisions of the Investment Incentives Act, as amended by Government Regulation No 514 / 2020 Coll., is amended as follows:
1. In Article 5 (1), the words "except for an investment in production where a product of strategic importance for the protection of life and health of persons listed in Annex 2 to this Regulation is to be produced," shall be deleted, the amount "500 000 000 000 CZK" shall be replaced by "2 000 000 000 CZK," the amount "250 000 000 CZK" shall be replaced by "1 000 000 000 CZK" and the number "500" shall be replaced by "250."
2. In Article 5, the following paragraphs 2 and 3 are inserted after paragraph 1, including footnote 11:
"(2) The values of fixed tangible and intangible assets and the number of new jobs referred to in paragraph 1 shall not apply in respect of an investment operation in production,
(a) where a product of strategic importance for the protection of the life and health of persons listed in Annex 2 to this Regulation is to be produced; or
(b) which will be implemented in the high-technological manufacturing industry, which is the manufacture of pharmaceutical products and preparations, the manufacture of computers, electronic and optical instruments and equipment, and the manufacture of aircraft and their engines, spacecraft and related equipment11), and which will be carried out in the framework of an activity with higher added value as referred to in Article 3 (1) (b), where research and development is carried out using the key enabling technology set out in Annex 3 to this Regulation.
(3) The key technologies enabling the technologies referred to in paragraph 2 are:
(a) advanced materials technology such as advanced metals, advanced synthetic polymers, advanced ceramics, new composites, advanced biopolymers and other advanced materials;
(b) nanotechnology, which means technology for structures between 1 and 100 nanometers in at least one dimension;
(c) advanced manufacturing technology, which means production systems and related services, processes, operations and equipment for other key enabling technologies, including automation, robotics, measurement systems, signal processing and information, production control and other processes;
(d) biotechnology, which means industrial biotechnology using micro-organisms or enzymes for the industrial processing and production of a bioproduct in the chemical industry, material production, energy (biofuels), food, healthcare, textiles and paper industry and technologies in the field of medical and natural sciences such as genomics, gene engineering, cellular and tissue engineering, synthetic biology, biosensors, bioactivators and neurotechnologies;
(e) photonics which are understood to include light generation, light conduction, light handling, light detection, light amplification and use of light in applications;
(f) micro-electronics which means highly miniaturised semiconductor components and electronic subsystems, including their integration into larger systems and products;
(g) nanoelectronics, which means highly miniaturised semiconductor components and electronic subsystems, including their integration into larger systems and products, with a structure at nanometer level; and
(h) artificial intelligence technology, which means analysis of large data, machine learning, neural networks, genetic algorithms, software technologies, intelligent robots, virtual agents, distributed systems and autonomous means of transport.
11) Sections 21 and 26 and Group 30.3 of the Annex to the Classification of Economic Activities (CZ-NACE) - Communication from the Czech Statistical Office No. 244 / 2007 Coll., on the introduction of the Classification of Economic Activities (CZ-NACE). '
Paragraphs 2 and 3 shall be renumbered paragraphs 4 and 5.
3. Paragraph 6 (1) reads as follows:
"(1) In the case of an investment in production, which is carried out in the Karlovy Vary Region, the Ústí Region or the Moravian-Silesian Region, the amount of material support may amount to up to 20% of the total eligible costs of the acquisition of long-term tangible and intangible assets for a strategic investment operation. In the case of an investment in production which is carried out in another region, the amount of physical support may amount to the acquisition of long-term tangible and intangible assets for a strategic investment operation up to 10% of the total eligible costs, but not more than CZK 1 500 000 000."
4. In Annex 1, in the form in the part marked "III. INVESTMENT INVESTMENT DATA 'at the end of point 7, the following subpoint 7.2 is added:
"7.2. Mark with a cross whether this will be an investment event

"
