Today, with the support of SOERA, a study tour to Vilnius, Lithuania, has officially kicked off, bringing together representatives from the Ukrainian government and state-owned enterprises.    The visit aims to study Lithuania’s experience in implementing corporate governance and public sector reforms. With a similar historical context, Lithuania has made significant progress in reducing state involvement in the economy and increasing the efficiency of state-owned enterprises. The Ukrainian delegation studies practical examples of reforms and successful cases that can be applied in Ukraine to improve public sector management.    The insights gained will be a valuable investment in Ukraine’s future, driving public sector reforms and enhancing the country’s economic growth potential. Drawing from Lithuania’s experience, European best practices will support Ukrainian state-owned enterprises in boosting their efficiency and competitiveness.  #SOERA #GovernanceBestPractices #SOERAStudyTour2024

🇪🇺 What do the European Parliamentary elections mean for EU-China relations? Despite not directly dictating Member States' foreign policy, the European Parliament has some power over the future of the bloc's trade relationship with China. Prospective members of the EU Commission must first appear before the Parliament and defend their qualifications and key interests. In November 2024, a new composition of the Commission will begin the new term. The Commission then determines: 📌 The strategic direction of the bloc, including the key discussion on #derisking from China. 📌 Carrying out the ongoing risk assessment on outbound investment screening, which would primarily impact European high-tech investments in China. As these discourses will be defended to the newly elected Parliament in upcoming weeks, European policy makers require state of the art intelligence on science and technology funding in China. To this end, Datenna's platform collects, curates and analyzes billions of datapoints to empower governments to navigate China's complex techno-economic landscape. 🚀 Learn more about our platform here: https://lnkd.in/e5uGUJxE #Derisking #EuropeanElections #EU #China #NatSec #EconomicSecurity #SnT

At the 2024 FOCAC Summit, China and Africa's partnership in modernization reached a significant milestone, marking a new chapter in Global South collaboration. As China actively supports Africa's development, the potential for transformative change grows, offering new opportunities for shared prosperity. Harvey Dzodin, former legal advisor in the Carter administration and senior fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, pointed out that we are entering a new era—a multi-polar world where global leadership is increasingly shared. In this context, China's collaboration with Africa is not only about economic partnership but also about setting an example of mutual respect and sustainable development for the world to follow. Dzodin suggests that this growing cooperation between China and Africa holds great promise for future global development. Full Interview: https://lnkd.in/gg7pZd5H

Last week, we were in Finland 🇫🇮 to meet with high level officials. To unlock European tech companies' potential, the EU 🇪🇺 needs to 🚀 Craft a #Strategy for #EU #Tech: It's time to boost EU's competitiveness, foster the data economy, enhance talent attraction and retention. ⏬ Ensure that EU Rules serve their objectives, not simply generate paperwork: Our focus must shift to ensuring these rules are rigorously #enforced. In a second time, once the rules have had time to settle, they should be evaluated, and any regulatory gaps identified. 👨👩👧👦 Empower #Consumers: EU tech companies places consumers at their core. We must safeguard users' ability to benefit from #personalised services while protecting their privacy rights. Furthermore, all entities operating in Europe, irrespective of size or origin, must adhere to EU standards and regulations - especially consumer rights (OmnibusDirective). Many thanks to Petra Wikström-Van Eemeren, Robert Torvelainen, Olli Koski and Jenni Tuomisto for representing the European Tech Alliance.

Three quotes from the Ukrainian Outsourcing Summit (UOS 2024) by Lviv IT Cluster that truly resonate with me:  ☝🏻Vitalii Sedler, CEO of Intellias:   "In a crisis, a CEO [who is also the owner] must return to the company and become its hands. A CEO cannot step away from operations during a crisis."  ☝🏻Victor Chekh, CEO of SOMBRA SOFTWARE LLP:   "There’s NO point in hiring smart people and telling them what TO DO; we hire smart people so they can tell US what to do."  ☝🏻Vitalii Portnikov:   "Regardless of how events unfold, our MAIN goal is to develop Ukraine, attract investments, choose professional leadership, and build an economically self-sufficient society capable of aspiring to EU membership."

Our Head of Communications and Partnerships, Olena Kuryacha, has seen how the Lviv logistics center PORT works from the inside 👏 ☝️ It was a working visit to exchange experiences with the Ukrainian Entrepreneurs Association. 👏 A valuable journey through the territory of a modern logistics center operating on ESG principles (environmental, social, and corporate governance). For example, the center preserved a natural lake during construction, even though filling it would have been cheaper. 💬 "We had the opportunity to see how a 4-story distribution center works, where most processes are automated, and manufacturing enterprises. Everybody especially liked our Ukrainian peanut butter producers." Our delegation spent an hour at this plant! It's crucial to see how things are done, and infrastructure is created because this is an experience you won't learn in universities. Once again, I was convinced of the strength of Ukrainian business. Everyone has ambitious export plans," Olena said. So, let's continue working for the development of the economy and exports 🇺🇦💪 Read Bureau of Investment Programs on Facebook 👉 https://lnkd.in/evrVDqdG
