The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic announces a call for service providers for the PROPEA program for the year 2024.
With the help of PROPEA, accredited expert entities operating abroad (with the support of the Czech embassy in the country) provide economic diplomacy services to Czech companies operating in the relevant territory or entering the target are preparing the foreign market.
PROPEA projects are a shift from supporting one-off business operations of Czech companies to strengthening their permanent presence abroad. The goal of the program is to support Czech companies that do not only focus on export, but rather have an investment character. Furthermore, the PROPEA projects want to reduce the risks for Czech companies associated with entering demanding foreign markets and strengthen the capacities of the Czech Republic to support a more permanent presence of companies in foreign markets.
As part of the PROPEA tool, accredited expert entities operating abroad with the support of the embassy in the territory can offer expert pro-export services to Czech companies that already operate in the territory or are preparing to enter the target foreign market:
- preparation of a business plan for market entry or investment
- preparation of legal, tax, financial and legislative analysis
- launching products on the market (assistance in negotiations with financial institutions, support in setting up an account and securing financing, setting up a company, etc.)
- securing licenses, certifications, product registrations and trademarks
- ensuring and verifying documentation for import/export and logistics
- creation and coordination of supplier and partner networks
- provision of promotional, marketing and PR services
- support when starting production/starting operations in the case of companies from the service sector
- use of technical background
Possible Mexican implementers, service providers for Czech companies in Mexico, can consult their ideas and submit proposals to the economic section of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Mexico.
