For two decades the flow of investment between the Czech Republic and the USA has been primarily in one direction. Now, led by decisive entrepreneurs such as Zbynek Frolik of Linet and Vaclav Muchna of YSoft, Czech businesses are becoming players in the US market.

We want to accelerate that growth, and guide it into the high value-added segment of both markets. AmCham is creating an investment task force- headed by our President, Michal Nebesky of Citibank, to recruit and assist investors in both directions. We will increase our participation in the AmCham EU's initiative to promote investment into Europe through economic analysis and case studies of investment. And we are working on a document that will help Czech companies navigate the conditions and advantages of the 50 states in the USA.
