Kraj Vysočina

What Kraj Vysočina does

Kraj Vysočina is a self-governing regional administrative unit (vyšší územní samosprávný celek) of the Czech Republic, established in 2000 following Czech administrative reform and headquartered at Žižkova 1882/57, Jihlava. It administers a 6,796 km² territory covering a substantial portion of the Českomoravská vrchovina (Bohemian-Moravian Highlands), serving 515,603 residents across 704 municipalities (including 35 towns and 43 market towns). The region delivers public services through seven wholly-owned operating subsidiaries — five regional hospitals (Nemocnice Jihlava, Třebíč, Nové Město na Moravě, Havlíčkův Brod, Pelhřimov), Vysočina Service for regional administration, and Krajská správa a údržba silnic Vysočiny for road maintenance — and is governed by an elected Assembly with Hejtman Martin Kukla (ANO 2011) as the executive leader.

The region's digital service portfolio is built on the vismo CMS platform (operated by WEBHOUSE, s.r.o.) and includes the Klientský portál (citizen client portal), eAmbulance for medical appointment booking, the Datový portál (open data portal), Geoportál (GIS), Digitální technická mapa (DTM), Portál územního plánování (PÚPO) for spatial planning, Fond Vysočiny eDotace for grant management, ROWANet public WiFi, eBezpečnost cybersecurity education, and the Integrated Public Transport System (Veřejná doprava Vysočiny / IDS VDV). Identity is managed through Shibboleth-based SSO (VysočinaID), with integration into Czech POINT and ePUSA. The Smart Region Vysočina initiative coordinates cross-domain digital transformation across ICT, transport, healthcare, environment, and energy efficiency.

Funding is non-commercial: revenue is derived from Czech state budget allocations, regional taxes, and EU structural funds (2014-2020 and 2021-2027 cycles). The region does not publish commercial financial statements. In 2026 it launched new business-support instruments including Podnikatelskvé vouchery 2026 (7 million CZK allocation) and ROZVOJ PODNIKATELŮ 2026 (50-150 thousand CZK grants), plus an AI Academy for Business Growth seminar series. International partnerships span Lower Austria, Grand Est (France), Nitra Self-Governing Region (Slovakia), and Zakarpattia Oblast (Ukraine), with active participation in the Danube-Vltava European Region.
