Czechia – A Tech-Savvy Economy at the Heart of Europe

 

Overview of Canada–Czechia Relations

Canada and Czechia enjoy a solid and friendly relationship, built on common democratic values and growing commercial interests. Czechia — a highly industrialized and export-driven economy — is a leader in automotive, aerospace, IT, and nanotechnology, making it a strategic match for Canadian innovation and investment.

 

Diplomatic relations are well established, and the two countries have seen their trade ties deepen, especially since the implementation of CETA, which eliminated most tariffs and facilitated smoother business exchanges.

Czechia’s central location makes it an attractive point of entry for Canadian companies looking to expand into Central and Eastern Europe.

​

Recent Developments and Achievements

• Bilateral trade has increased significantly since CETA came into force in 2017.

• Collaborations in transport equipment, ICT, and pharmaceuticals are growing.

• Educational and cultural exchange programs between Czech and Canadian universities are expanding.

• Czechia is becoming increasingly known in Canada for its tech sector and startup ecosystem.

How the CCEB Can Help

​

From Shared Values to Shared Opportunities

​

The Czech Republic is a rising economic and innovation hub in Central Europe — with strong industrial capabilities, a growing tech ecosystem, and a highly educated workforce.
Canada, for its part, offers stability, resources, and a growing interest in diversifying its international partnerships.

 

But awareness between our two countries remains low — and that’s where the Canadian Central European Bureau (CCEB) steps in.

We don’t act as intermediaries or commercial brokers.

Our mission is to make the Czech Republic and Canada more visible to each other, and to spark new ideas, relationships, and momentum.

​

1. Making Canada and Czechia More Visible to Each Other

We help promote Czech businesses, institutions, and regions to Canadian audiences — and vice versa — through targeted campaigns, bilingual content, and professional networking events.

​

2. Opening Clearer Lines of Communication

Sometimes the barrier isn’t interest — it’s clarity.
We work to translate institutional language, business norms, and expectations between both countries, making communication more natural and accessible.

​

3. Helping Navigate Systems and Structures

Whether it’s understanding how trade support works in Canada or identifying key contacts in Czech regions, the CCEB helps lower the administrative barrier to first contact.

​

4. Generating Curiosity and Engagement

Interest leads to initiative.
We spotlight sectors of opportunity, tell real partnership stories, and highlight areas where Canadian and Czech strengths can align — from manufacturing to digital services.

​

5. Bringing People Together

We don’t organize trade shows — we create high-value encounters: embassies, chambers of commerce, public institutions, entrepreneurs.
The CCEB creates moments where connections can be made — and ideas can take root.

 

The Czech Republic and Canada are not strangers — they’re simply under-introduced.
The CCEB is here to open the conversation — and keep it going.
