First Deputy PM and Minister of Industry and Trade @KarelHavlicek_ led a Czech business and innovation delegation across Washington, D.C. and Texas (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio). Highlights included meetings with the U.S. administration, investors and industry leaders, two days of Czech House at @sxsw, presentations by 50+ Czech startups and tech companies, and the first-ever cooperation declaration between CZ and Texas, signed with Governor @GregAbbott_TX.

The mission was organized together with @mpo_tweetuje , @CzechTrade, @CzechInvest_CZ, @CzechTourism and other partners who helped make this mission a succes.
