91 % of Czech firms reported having adopted at least one digital technology—well above the EU average of 74 %. The survey highlights Czech Republic's rapid embrace of automation, data analytics, robotics, and advanced manufacturing systems. Additionally, over half of firms have invested in energy efficiency measures, reflecting growing interest in sustainability and smart operations.

Most Czech firms continue to fund digital investment from internal resources, suggesting strong balance sheets and a relatively low dependence on external financing. However, the report also flags a need for greater collaboration with foreign partners to scale innovation and reach global markets.

For UK businesses, the Czech Republic presents a compelling partner for tech and services trade. The country is particularly strong in SaaS services and smart solutions for manufacturing.
