Develop a better understanding of the Czech culture and extend your intercultural competencies to ensure lasting business success with Czech business partners. CultureWaves is looking forward to advising you!
CultureWaves offers participant- and practice-oriented intercultural training to you and your colleagues in order to develop a better understanding of the Czech culture and their approach to business
Due to its specific geographical location in the middle of Europe, the Czech Republic is an attractive location for investors. Today, the Czech Republic is an independent democratic nation. With the change of the political system in the 1990’s, the Czech Republic has become a mainly privatised and rapidly developing national economy. The automotive, machinery, food and wood industries are mainly contributing to the Czech Republican’s status of being one of the most developed central eastern European nations.
