The plan is to aid Czech Republic companies already operating within the territory or in the preparatory stages of entering the market. The PROPEA Programme aims explicitly to boost Czech Republic firms to have an investment nature instead of solely focusing on exports. One of the objectives is to reduce risks in entering demanding foreign markets by enhancing the capacity of the Czech Republic. The launch of the PROPEA Programme in 2020 intends to support Czech Republic businesses with a more permanent presence in foreign markets. The PROPEA Programme offers Czech Republic companies export pro-export services in regard to: Processing of a business plan for market entry or investment Processing of legal, tax, financial, and legislative analyses Launching products on the market (assistance in negotiations with financial institutions, support in opening an account and securing financing, establishing a company, etc.) Securing licenses, certifications, product registrations, and trademarks Confirming and verifying documentation for import/export and logistics Creation and coordination of supplier and partner networks Securing promotional, marketing, and PR services Support during the start of production/start-up assistance for companies from the service sector Utilization of technical facilities. Although the program benefits all parties, the maximum financial support extended by the government for this project for a particular territory is USD 2,000 for a calendar year. PROPEA Development from 2020 The PROPEA Programme is a collaboration between the Czech Chamber of Commerce and the Confederation of Industry and Transport of the Czech Republic. These two bodies work together to create a new tool that supports economic activities abroad. The government approved the program of the Czech Republic on 18 March 2020 as part of the Emergency Package of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Thanks to the new PROPEA program, Czech companies can use local experts’ services to help ensure business continuity and solve logistical and other problems associated with emergency measures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. There has been a further extension from the initial project that kicked off in 2020, as in 2021, a total of 19 approved PROPEA projects will provide individual services to Czech companies in 17 countries around the world.
