Founder's background

Experience on the Ground. Commitment for the Long Run.

Jakub Smetana, former Head of the CzechTrade Paris office, founded Bohemia Connect after years of helping companies expand between France and Central Europe.

During that time, he realized that successful international expansion is rarely built on one-off introductions or contact lists. It requires local presence, market knowledge, and someone who remains engaged long after the first meeting.

That is the philosophy behind Bohemia Connect.

We act as your bilingual representative on the ground, helping you identify the right opportunities, build trusted partnerships, and navigate the realities of doing business across France and Central Europe. Rather than simply opening doors, we stay involved—becoming an extension of your team and supporting your growth for the long term.

Because international business is built on trust, consistency, and local relationships—not just introductions.

Our Philosophy.

We become part of your team.

We don't work as an external consultant delivering reports. We work alongside you, represent your interests on the ground, and stay involved until real business happens.

Relationships before transactions.

International business is built on trust. We invest time in understanding people, cultures, and long-term partnerships—not just arranging meetings.

Local presence creates opportunities.

Many opportunities never appear in databases or online. Being present in the market allows us to identify them early and act quickly.

Quality over quantity.

We don't measure success by the number of contacts we send. We measure it by the partnerships that actually lead to business.

Long-term commitment.

Markets evolve, strategies change, and unexpected challenges appear. We remain your local partner long after the first introduction.
