About us

The Confederation of Industry is the largest business organisation in the Czech Republic. We serve as an umbrella organization for more than 35 industry associations and federations as well as over 200 companies that are our direct members. In total, we represent companies employing more than 1 milion workers. 

We speak for companies, whether they are big players, small companies, associations, or startups. We change economic and social policy rules and promote smarter legislation and friendlier conditions for business and industry. 

We protect business from unfavourable legislative changes. We advocate for the simplification and reduction of unnecesary regulation. We have our representatives in key expert councils, committees, commisions and working groups. We comment tens and hundreds pieces of legislation and regulations a year. We have managed to implement a number of changes that directly affected the functioning of companies and their results - from cost savings to simplified administration, a more flexible labor market, rapid and systematic assistance in crisis situations.

We help exporters reach new markets. For more than 30 years, we have organized business missions abroad with top government officials of the Czech Republic. In this we closely cooperate with Czech and international embassies and other organisations around the world. We also arrange meetings with incoming international delegations in the Czech Republic, organize pro-export conferences, seminars and workshops. 

Our membership in the Confederation of European Business, BusinessEurope, and in the Business at OECD network, BIAC, allows us to defend our members' interests at the European and international levels. 

We are represented in regions across the Czech Republic.
