Czech Republic
The Czech Republic has emerged as a vital player in technology. In Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics, companies like Škoda Auto and Linet lead in automotive and healthcare innovations. The nation also excels in Artificial Intelligence, with institutions such as the Czech Institute of Informatics advancing AI applications for automation. Clean Energy initiatives, including wind and solar projects, reduce reliance on coal. With a growing role in Semiconductors and strong EU partnerships, the Czech Republic promotes Western technological leadership, supporting a resilient and innovative digital economy.

Authoritarian regimes are exploiting technology to erode democratic values and undermine public institutions, attempting to weaponize it for political and military goals. I personally consider trusted technology the cornerstone of national security and the economic prosperity of our society. This is why, with the support of Keith Krach, the Czech Republic introduced the Prague Proposals on 5G in 2019 — the first-ever guidance on trusted suppliers in next-generation telecommunications infrastructure, endorsed by partners around the world, including the G7 or QUAD. I look forward to building on this partnership and contributing to the Trusted Tech Standard Initiative together with like-minded partners.
