Y Soft Startup Programs & Corporate Open Innovation Analysis Software & Data · Software

Y Soft was founded in the city of Brno, Czech Republic in 2000. At a time when no entrepreneurial incubators existed in the Czech Republic, a couple of students – today we would call them a “startup” – created a company with the vision of developing into a truly global Czech company. By 2003, YSoft SafeQ emerged as a product with the potential to fulfill the vision of a successful, global IT company that helps companies Build Smart Business. Today, Y Soft employs more than 300 people, 260 of whom are based in the Czech Republic and 42% are in R & D.
