THE CZECH MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND TRADE HELPS CZECH COMPANIES ACQUIRE SKILLED WORKERS FROM THIRD COUNTRIES
With a shortage of labor in the job market, Czech companies will receive assistance from a new service offered by the CzechTrade agency called “Economic Migration Support.” The main goal of this service is to help Czech companies secure qualified foreign workers, thus strengthening the competitiveness of the Czech economy. “Czech companies, as well as foreign investors, have long been calling for more opportunities to employ skilled workers from abroad. The Qualified Employee Program is designed to help them with this, but we want to focus more on countries where attracting foreign labor has been challenging in the long term. That’s why we are launching this service, focusing primarily on countries such as Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, and Montenegro,” says Minister of Industry and Trade Jozef Síkela.

THE CZECH MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND TRADE WILL SUPPORT ENERGY-SAVING MEASURES IN COMPANIES
The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic announces the II. call of the Energy Savings activity from the Operational Program Technology and Applications for Competitiveness (OP TAK). Small, medium, and large enterprises will be able to obtain up to approximately 750 million CZK for investment projects. “Energy savings are a way to reduce energy costs, increase our energy security, and better protect the environment. Moreover, reducing energy consumption is an important part of the modernization of the entire Czech energy sector and the phased coal phase-out. For the competitiveness of Czech companies, it is crucial that they effectively implement energy-saving measures. That’s why we have prepared a call from the Operational Program Technology and Applications for Competitiveness to support projects focusing on energy savings. This includes the installation of solar panels, heating technologies, or equipment for rainwater utilization,” says Minister of Industry and Trade Jozef Síkela.
