You are receiving material that describes in detail the main investment opportunities in the city of Strakonice. The localities are divided into three types: industrial zones for new production capacity, commercial zones for trade and services and localities for development of residential units and houses.

Strakonice can, from a historical point of view and now, be categorised as an industrial city. The inhabitants of Strakonice and its surroundings have earned their living working in the fez factory, now known as Fezko (established in 1812), in the Česká zbrojovka engineering plant (established in 1919), now ČZ Strakonice, and in other production facilities, the most famous of which is the Strakonice brewery. The beginnings of beer brewing in the town can be traced back to 1649.

These long-term industrial traditions today create good conditions for further development of business activities, mainly during the production of new development capacities in our city.

Strakonice's location is interesting; it is located 100 km from the capital city of Prague and 60 km from the Strážný border crossing with Germany.

The city's advantages include favourable traffic conditions, and two first-class motorways pass through the city: I/4 (route Prague–Strakonice–Strážný) and I/22 (connection to the route Plzeň–Strakonice-České Budějovice). The completion of the R4 high-speed motorway on the I/4 route will bring further improvement.

The city also has good connections to rail lines, and the option to use the local airport is also available.

Support for investment activities is among the main priorities of the city administration. Therefore, we are making the maximum effort to create favourable conditions for the entry of investors into the city.

We appreciate the interest expressed by each investor, and we also would like to contribute to the achievement of your objectives. We are pleased to be able to welcome you, and we will provide you with more details at a personal meeting.

I would like to wish you much success, and I hope that this material will assist you with your decisions.
