Many Czech small and medium-sized enterprises develop high-quality products, come up with innovative ideas, and have the potential to succeed in foreign markets. Yet many of them remain confined to the domestic market. The reason is often not a lack of capability, but uncertainty about where to start, how to find the right business partners, or how to minimize the risks associated with expansion. Some entrepreneurs simply lack a little more courage and the ability to view their business not only in a local context, but also in a European and global one.
“We need to start thinking globally. The European market offers Czech companies huge opportunities. Let’s not wait for the world to discover us. Let’s have the courage to show the world what we can do ,” says Martina Malíková, the main coordinator of the Enterprise Europe Network Czechia project, in a new video podcast of the Association of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and Tradesmen of the Czech Republic.
The podcast covers topics that many small and medium-sized businesses are dealing with today:
Enterprise Europe Network Czechia is part of the world’s largest network supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, which operates in more than 60 countries. It helps companies find new business opportunities, establish international partnerships, and secure financing for further growth.
As Martina Malíková explains in the podcast, large companies have their own specialists in innovation or European funding. Small and medium-sized enterprises, on the other hand, often lack the capacity, know-how, or financial resources to do so. That is precisely why the Enterprise Europe Network offers them free consultations in areas such as digitalization, sustainability, resilience, innovation, and internationalization. “We always tailor the consultations to the specific needs of the company. We’re not looking for a one-size-fits-all solution—we’re looking for the right solution for each client,” adds Malíková.
Whether you’re thinking about exporting, looking for new business partners, or wanting to take your business to the next level, this interview offers practical tips and specific recommendations that you can apply to your own company.
