On May 14, 2025, the U.S. Commercial Service at the U.S. Embassy, in cooperation with Citi and Deloitte, organized a panel discussion tailored for Czech companies interested in expanding their operations to the United States. The event was opened by Commercial Counselor R. Taylor Moore, alongside keynote speakers Ryan Cuddyre from Citi and Ivana Lorencovicova from Deloitte. Moderated by Jiri Sauer of Deloitte, the panel featured a lineup of experienced speakers including Josef Prusa of Prusa Research, Adam Kovic of J&T Ventures, Jan Čurn of Apify, and Martin Rehak of Resistant AI, who shared their insights and experiences regarding setting up and investing in the United States.
A significant theme that emerged from the panel discussion was the importance of having a bold vision, encapsulated in the phrase ‘Think big — founders have to be dreamers.’ For those interested in learning more about investment promotion in the United States, the SelectUSA program offers a valuable resource to explore the possibilities.
