Country specific features:
The Czech Republic is the ideal outsourcing centre, notably for German customer service needs. Low rates, political stability and qualified professionals are key aspects that make the Czech Republic attractive for European countries. The stable and secure environment, strong FDI support and EU membership are other advantages for offshoring/nearshoring to the Czech Republic.
