What Digitální a Informační Aentura does

Digitální a informační agentura (DIA) is a Czech government state agency (úřední orgán veřejné správy) established in 2024, headquartered at Na Vápence 915/14, Prague 3, responsible for coordinating and operating the national eGovernment stack. It manages foundational registries (Population Register/ROB, Register of Persons/ROS with 4.28 million IČO, Register of Rights and Obligations/RPP covering 409 agendas and 18,274 public authority bodies, and Cadastral Register/RÚIAN), authentication and identity systems (CAAIS central SSO, NIA identity broker, eDoklady mobile app launched January 2024 with 890,000+ downloads), the Data Boxes (Datové schránky) secure electronic messaging system with 5+ million active boxes and 1.5 billion+ delivered messages as of October 2025, the 7,000+ location Czech POINT assisted-service network, the Contract Register (Registr smluv) with 9+ million published contracts, the eGovernment Cloud Computing Catalog (166 providers, ~7,000 services), DATAHUB analytics platform, the Design System gov.cz, and the Open Data Portal. The agency is the Czech national coordinator for the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW) under EU Regulation 2024/1183.

The agency's technology is built on API-based integrations between systems (XML/JSON/CSV, Azure Storage-based DATAHUB ingestion, eGon services) and a cloud-first procurement posture mandated since 2024. Citizen-facing delivery uses a product-led self-service model (Portál občana, eDoklady app, mojedatovaschranka.cz web/desktop/mobile), supported by the physical Czech POINT channel for non-digital users. The business model is entirely non-commercial: DIA is funded through Czech state budget appropriations and EU funds (Recovery and Resilience Facility, EU structural funds), and serves all Czech citizens, businesses, and public authorities free of charge. GTM is institutional rather than commercial — driven by mandatory use mandates, public communication campaigns, and direct engagement with government bodies through Competency Centers. The agency has 12 named senior leaders reporting to Director Mgr. Bohdan Urban, but headcount is not publicly disclosed. Strategic priorities through 2026 include EUDIW rollout, cloud catalog v6, AI governance coordination, and expansion of eDoklady acceptance to private-sector identity verifiers.
