Synergy for the future - why cooperation between CERC and the Chamber of Commerce of the Czech Republic is key for RAS aquaculture
In the dynamically developing sector of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), effective representation of interests and support of entrepreneurs is absolutely essential. This is where the roles of the Central European RAS Chamber (CERC) and the Chamber of Commerce of the Czech Republic (HK ČR) meet and complement each other. The combination of these two institutions represents a powerful synergy for the development of sustainable Czech aquaculture.
As a specialized chamber, CERC deeply understands the specific needs and challenges of RAS farm operators. It provides expert advice, organizes know-how transfer, ensures subsidy support and formulates expert opinions on technical, economic and legislative issues. It is the voice of the industry, which has detailed knowledge of everyday practice and innovative trends.
On the other hand, the Chamber of Commerce of the Czech Republic offers a wide portfolio of services for entrepreneurs across all sectors of the Czech economy and has a strong position in dialogue with the government, ministries and European institutions. Its extensive network and experience in the field of legislative processes, foreign trade and business environment development are invaluable.
Why is this cooperation so important?
Stronger lobbying: Combining CERC's deep expertise with HK ČR's political weight and extensive contacts allows for more effective advocacy of RAS aquaculture interests. Whether it concerns changes in legislation, access to subsidy titles or simplification of bureaucracy, a common voice has much greater power.
Broader support for members: CERC members gain access not only to the highly specialized services of their chamber, but also indirectly to HK ČR's general benefits and network. This can include legal advice, export support, education and other business tools.
Visibility of the field: HK ČR can help raise awareness of RAS technologies and their benefits (sustainability, food safety, self-sufficiency) in a wider business and political context, which is key to gaining wider support.
Sharing experiences and resources: The cooperation enables the sharing of best practices, the organization of joint events, and the more efficient use of resources of both organizations to support entrepreneurs in the RAS.
The integration and close cooperation between CERC and the Chamber of Commerce of the Czech Republic thus creates a robust ecosystem of support that is essential for the sustained growth and prosperity of the RAS aquaculture in the Czech Republic and the entire Central European region.
