Today one of our most important partners Aalto University posted a story about our family foundation Saastamoinen Foundation. We work actively to promote science and art internationally. Each of us has different work backgrounds within the foundation, which supports the bigger picture. When the change of generations is relevant at some point, it seems that we, the younger ones, have a very good starting point to continue working in the direction of making the world an even better place for science, art and society. https://lnkd.in/dKsgTv2v

"There is a family from Gúta (Kolárovo, Slovakia) whose third generation is already gaining practical experience and working with us" – Gukom has been serving our city for 30 years. In addition to our athletes, artists, events and the successes of our city in recent years, we can also be proud of the businesses of our town. One of these long-standing successful companies is Gukom, whose CEO, Attila Pálfy, we talked to. If you happen to be in Zürich, the largest city in Switzerland, and you see the tallest residential building in the town and at the same time in the country, which is a thirty-one-storey skyscraper one hundred meters high, and several larger residential areas in the settlement with several kilometres of Railings, pull yourself out and be proud, because their endless barriers were all made in Gúta, at Company Gukom. Our company mainly fulfils foreign orders, but products made by us can also be seen in Slovakia, Csallóköz (Rye Island) and even in Gúta. The things we make must not only be durable and of good quality, but also attractive, because what we produce is seen many times and by many people. – said the company manager, Attila Pálfy, who also spoke about the fact that they deal with locksmith work, welding and laser cutting of sheet metal and tubes, but railing manufacturing has been their number one profile for some time. We are constantly looking for new technologies and developments that can further increase the quality of our products, the efficiency of production, and the working conditions of our employees. I believe that if someone can work in the right place, among good people, on good terms, this is positively reflected in their performance, and negligence cannot be allowed in our country, with a scrappy price. A good example of how family-friendly we are is that there are families from Gúta whose third generation is already working for our company, and there are also those who started their career at our company and still work for us today, there are also many who have been working for us for more than 20 years, or even retired from us after 25-30 years of faithfully working for us – They persevered with us, not only when things were going well, but also when we ran into difficulties. – said the entrepreneur, who also told our newspaper that at Gukom we consider it important to train the next generations as well. I hope that we can serve the city for a long time, give many people from Gúta (Kolárovo)a livelihood and a future, and we can continue to be so successful, and then we can provide our support for many sports clubs of the city or representatives of Hungarian culture, such as the judo club of Gúta, the handball club or even the Jókai Theatre in Komárom – concluded Attila Pálfy.

Sitting in the Graebel Singapore office and reflecting on the last few days - what an incredible experience at the ATMA and ERC events, as well as the Graebel Partner Summit 2024 this morning. Despite the current challenges facing the global mobility market, I can't help but feel a profound sense of optimism. As I gaze out the window at the bustling city skyline, I'm reminded that even in the midst of uncertainty, there is a bright light shining ahead. The global mobility industry may look different, but it is undoubtedly full of untapped potential and possibilities. Together, alongside our partners and clients, I believe we can overcome the obstacles and unlock new avenues for growth. So let's lean into the excitement of this evolving landscape and continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in global mobility. Here is to the world ahead. Graebel Companies, Inc.

The 2024 FIRST Global (IFCA) Challenge in Athens was nothing short of magical. ✨ Standing in the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic games took place, I couldn’t help but feel the immense weight of history blending with the boundless potential of the future. This wasn’t just another event—it was a global movement. 🌍 More than 190 countries came together, not to compete in sports, but to race toward a better, more sustainable world through innovation and technology. These young minds didn’t just build robots; they built bridges—across cultures, languages, and continents. Watching them work side by side, we saw firsthand how technology can unite us, how creativity and collaboration can transcend borders, and how hope for a brighter future can inspire action. The energy was beyond words. From the electrifying Black Eyed Peas performance to the inspiring moments of teamwork and perseverance, it was a celebration of what we can achieve when we come together with a shared purpose. I’ve never been prouder to be a part of something so powerful. These young innovators reminded us all of what’s possible when we dream big, work together, and believe in a better future. Thank you to the small and mighty team and the continued commitment of our numerous supporters!

🌟 Reflecting on a compelling chronicle by our colleague, Anniken Hofgaard published in Dagens Næringsliv yesterday! Her analysis highlights key areas where Norway can enhance its innovation landscape: 🚀Capital Access: Norway trails behind Sweden in mobilizing risk capital for globally competitive companies. 📊Funding Bias: Innovation Norway shows a strong preference for regional districts over major innovation hubs like Oslo in its funding allocation. 🐟Established Industries: A significant portion of funding is allocated to well-established coastal industries, limiting the support for emerging technologies with international scope. ⚖️Policy Conflicts: The dual mandate of Innovation Norway to support both innovation and regional development leads to conflicting priorities, potentially stifling high-impact innovations. We root for Anniken stepping more out of her comfort zone to provide more insights like this🤩 ⬇️Find a link to the article below

𝐈𝐬 𝐎𝐬𝐥𝐨 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲?...𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵..." This is the new campaign of VisitOSLO.. or should I call it it anti-campaign, anti-adverstisment? In this part of the Denmark (Jutland), when people want to say that something is good they just say 'it is not so bad', and if something is 'great'... it's probably not. The ad could not be a better mirror of Nordic humor and mentality. It has a hidden statement that this not like all the other cities, that always brag. This is a special city, you can just meet e.g. the Prime Minister or the King. Notice also, how smallness, equality, convenience and hygge are all interwoven. ...But if you remove the irony (saying the opposite) from it, you end up with the same bragging... Oslo has a lot of amazing things to offer... you just can cannot say it that way. The question is, would potential visitors get it? #oslo #nordic #irony
