Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic announces a call for providers for the PROPEA program for 2026. With the help of PROPEA, accredited expert entities operating abroad (with the support of the Czech Embassy in the country) provide services of economic diplomacy to Czech companies which are already operating in the territory or are preparing to enter the market. The current call for proposals ends on March 3, 2026.
PROPEA projects are a shift from supporting one-off business operations of Czech companies to strengthening their permanent presence abroad. The program aims to boost Czech firms that focus not only on exports, but also have an investment nature. Furthermore, PROPEA projects want to reduce the risks associated with entering demanding foreign markets and enhance the capacity of the Czech Republic to support a more permanent presence of companies on foreign markets.

· securing licenses, certifications, product registrations, and trademarks
· securing and verifying documentation for import/export and logistics
· creation and coordination of supplier and partner networks
