Czechia in focus 🇨🇿

Utah businesses are invited to a luncheon with Czech Republic Ambassador Miloslav Stašek and Consul General Arnošt Kareš. This event brings together Utah business leaders and international diplomats for a focused, practical discussion. 

Utah and Czechia share a complementary, high-value trade relationship rooted in advanced manufacturing and innovation. Utah exports—including electronics, machinery, chemicals, and medical devices—often integrate directly into Czech manufacturing supply chains, particularly in automotive and precision engineering.

In return, Czechia exports machinery, electrical equipment, and automotive components to the U.S. Trade with Czechia is also strategically significant for Utah, linking local companies to Central Europe and the broader EU market while pairing Czech industrial strength with Utah’s innovation economy.

This conversation will highlight where collaboration is already happening, and where new opportunities are emerging in trade and joint ventures. Ambassador Stašek will also discuss Czechia’s EU-directed involvement in reconstruction of Ukraine.

Why attend:

  • Gain perspective on U.S.-Czech trade priorities and economic outlook

  • Understand where Utah companies can plug into European markets

  • Connect with diplomatic leaders shaping bilateral relationships

  • Build relationships with peers engaged in global business
