INVESTMENT AND PROJECTS
While cost is always a factor, it is only one of many considerations that influence the choice of destinations for foreign direct investment. Other key factors include an educated and highly skilled workforce, high living standards, and a diverse culture. Also important is government support for building an economy of the future. In Czechia, this includes government support for finding international partners to work with Czech research organizations and innovative companies, establishing long-term partnerships with foreign institutions, and finding ways to bridge the gap between the industrial sector and academia. All the listed factors are available in the heart of Europe.
Czechia prides itself on having an open economy that welcomes foreign direct investment in all sectors.
Major multinational companies with manufacturing subsidiaries in Czechia include ABB, Continental, TPC, Hyundai, Ford, Matsushita, Nestlé, Phillip Morris, Procter & Gamble, Renault, Siemens, and Volkswagen.
