Why Prague?
Prague Gives Our Students a Portal to the Tech World
Since 2017, IFSA has hosted students in Prague to explore and experience the Czech Republic’s culture, intriguing history, and architectural treasures. As we designed the IFSA Tech Career Accelerator study abroad program, Prague stood out as an ideal base to immerse students in a robust tech ecosystem, where they could both learn and provide valuable Gen Z insights.
An ideal city for IFSA Tech Career Accelerator students:
- Robust tech ecosystem known for innovation
- Home of global tech companies and startup hub
- Rapid growth in AI, automation, cybersecurity, gaming, fintech, SaaS, and more
- English-friendly professional environment
- Opportunity to fill gaps in workforce
- Central EU location
- Safe and affordable relative to many global cities
Prague is one of Europe’s big IT hubs with a thriving startup scene. A lot of companies are really developing, so it’s the perfect place for this program. And students are amazed by the city. It’s an ideal combination!
