With its central geographical location in Europe and an increasing need for green technology, the Czech Republic is an obvious target for Danish companies specialising in this area , says the Danish Chamber of Commerce. The news is reported by financial daily newspaper Børsen. Renewable energy sources only account for a tiny share of the Czech Republic's total energy production, but the government has set the ambitious objective that 8% of the country's total energy production must be generated from renewable sources by the end of this year. Ascha L. Pedersen at the Danish Chamber of Commerce told Børsen: "As in many other European countries, the Czech energy sector is currently seeing major growth at the same time as the EU is making increasing demands to a greater share of total energy production coming from renewable energy. It means that in the future there will be good opportunities in the Czech energy sector for Danish companies in areas such as biomass, solar energy and especially wind energy, where there is major potential awaiting."

Denmark's exports to the Czech Republic dropped by 8.7% in 2009 to DKK 4.9 billion, making the country Denmark's 22nd largest export market. The main exports are processed products including clothes, plastic goods, hearing aids and toys. The Danish Chamber of Commerce forecasts Danish exports to the Czech Republic will increase by 12.4% this year.
