Czech Business Incubator Atlanta (CIBA) and US organisation Locate South Georgia signed a memorandum in Prague on Friday to strengthen economic ties and help Czech companies enter the US market.
CBIA co-founder Ladislav Chodák said smaller Czech firms often lacked the confidence to expand into the United States. He also noted that many Czech products reach the American market indirectly through Germany. Opportunities for Czech businesses include engineering, aerospace, IT and the automotive industry.
US Ambassador to Czechia Nicholas Merrick, who attended the signing, highlighted the role of economic prosperity in supporting stability and peace and expressed hope that more Czech companies would establish operations in the United States.

A freak accident in Prague's Krč district left a truck carrying a drilling rig wedged beneath a railway bridge for more than 24 hours. Firefighters finally managed to free the vehicle shortly before midnight on Thursday, using two heavy recovery tanks and additional equipment. Earlier attempts had failed, partly because one of the recovery vehicles broke down. Crews continued dismantling the truck overnight to remove it from beneath the bridge. The unusual incident caused major traffic disruption on the Prague's busy Vídeňská street, affecting both motorists and several public bus routes.

The Czech Constitutional Court has rejected a complaint challenging restrictions on movement in parts of Šumava National Park, imposed to protect the endangered western capercaillie, a large woodland bird. A Prague resident argued that the ban on leaving marked trails violated his constitutional right to freedom of movement and was ideologically motivated. The court ruled that freedom of movement is not absolute and can be restricted to protect nature. The measures, introduced in 2023, cover areas along the German border. The court agreed with earlier rulings that protecting biodiversity was a legitimate public interest outweighing the complainant's individual rights.
