Founder of RESPECT, a.s.
Family firms are not just business entities, but they link the economy with culture, traditions and values of responsibility and a long-term approach. They contribute to stability and prosperity at the local and national levels. Their role is crucial and they deserve respect as well as support for further growth. Family business seeks a balance between entrepreneurship, family and vision. It is an honor to be an FBW ambassador and part of a strong community that unites, inspires, educates and supports family businesses in the Czech Republic.
