The Festival of Future is (almost) here! 🔮🌘 🔜 Join us from September 10 to better understand the transformative forces defining the risks and opportunities shaping our future! On Day 1, as a part of the "Digital Everything - Creation of the New Galaxy" conference, trend forecaster and experienced consultant 🤟🏻 Pavlína Louženská will share her thoughts on our ability to predict the future. What can you look forward to? As she put it: 💡My theme for the conference is "How Can We Predict the Future?" 🔮 I will explain that while it has always been possible to predict the future, it is becoming increasingly complex despite our access to advanced data. I will discuss the phenomenon of trends dying out and how this indicates a loss of a common language, and I will explore what we can do to address this issue. Pavlína was also kind enough to answer two additional questions as a part of her personal invitation to the The Festival of Future: ❔What trend with the biggest potential impact on our lives is mostly overlooked or ignored? 💡We often focus on technology when considering the future — AI, VR headsets, nanotechnology. However, we don't discuss humanity enough! The emotions and sentiments that shape our lives far more profoundly than the mere presence of a phone in our pocket. This is why I frequently write about loneliness, communities, and the search for meaning, even though my work is closely connected to technology. ❔In what way, that is presently hard to imagine, will our lives be different in 15-20 years? 💡By 2030, 25% of Europeans will be over 65, and by 2050, this number will be even higher. Our society has never faced anything like this before. We will need to change how we work, care for the elderly, and approach policymaking. ____________ 🙏🏻We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our partners for this amazing event! ⭐PARTNERS OF THE FUTURE: McDonald's Slovakia, Philip Morris International, Swiss Re ⭐PREMIUM PARTNERS: Center for International Private Enterprise, Citi, Dell Technologies, PwC Slovakia, SUSTAINOVA, Tatra banka ⭐MAIN PARTNERS: Biogen, CECHOVA & PARTNERS, Circular Slovakia, DÔVERA zdravotná poisťovňa, a. s., EY, Glocco, IBM, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine Slovakia, Novartis Slovakia, Roche Slovensko, Soitron, Wolf Theiss, Zimmer Biomet ⭐PARTNERS: AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, SK+MED - Slovenská asociácia dodávateľov zdravotníckych pomôcok Are you ready for what the future holds? 🔮 Registration is open, join us at The Festival of Future to explore the elements of transformation, uncertainty, and opportunity. https://lnkd.in/eYanZJav #TheFestivalOfFuture #AmChamSlovakia30 #AreYouReady #MegaTrends #CyberThreats

The Festival of Future is (almost) here! 🔮🌘 🔜 Join us from September 10 to better understand the transformative forces defining the risks and opportunities shaping our future! During all three days of the festival, you will have the opportunity to attend a carefully prepared selection of Topical Focus Events. These will provide you with practical insights into the most desired skills for the future. Two of these special workshops will be led by DEVELOR Slovakia 👉 Don’t be Afraid of AI! https://lnkd.in/etx-BPVG 👉 Back to the Future Leader: Atlantis - Labyrinth of perspectives https://lnkd.in/ewh6Eexp ✅ Don't hesitate and book your spots! We've approached Martin Kunc, Managing Director of DEVELOR Czech & Slovakia to offer his perspective on the skills for the future. ❓ When considering the digital revolution, what important aspects of human capital and skill development are often overlooked? In your view, what are the essential skills for the future, and why? 💡 "The digital revolution often emphasizes technical skills, but crucial aspects of human capital—like emotional intelligence, collaboration and complex problem-solving—are frequently overlooked. Future leaders must bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern leadership skills, mastering both rational and collaborative skills. In our workshop, participants will engage in interactive activities that foster essential future skills like Sense-Making — the ability to discern meaningful patterns in vast amounts of data — and Navigating Challenging Discussions, crucial for managing both rational and emotional aspects of leadership. Drawing from the "Back to the Future" concept, tomorrow’s leaders need to excel in Deep Listening to understand underlying emotions, Forward Problem-Solving to anticipate and address future challenges, and Managing Dilemmas, where conflicting values must be balanced. These skills are not just beneficial but essential for navigating the complexities of leadership in the digital age." ____________ 🙏🏻We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our partners! ⭐PARTNERS OF THE FUTURE: Citi, Hurricane.sk, McDonald's Slovakia, Philip Morris International, Swiss Re ⭐PREMIUM PARTNERS: Center for International Private Enterprise, Dell Technologies, DÔVERA zdravotná poisťovňa, a. s., PwC Slovakia, SUSTAINOVA, Tatra banka ⭐MAIN PARTNERS: Biogen, CECHOVA & PARTNERS, Circular Slovakia, CMS, EY, Glocco, IBM, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine Slovakia, MSD Slovensko, Novartis Slovakia, O2 Slovakia, Roche Slovensko, Soitron, SPP, VOID Security Operations Center, Visa, Wolf Theiss, Zimmer Biomet ⭐PARTNERS: AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Dr. Max Slovensko, Pfizer, SEDMA, SK+MED - Slovenská asociácia dodávateľov zdravotníckych pomôcok, Slovenské elektrárne, Takeda, Váš Lekár #TheFestivalOfFuture #SkillsForFuture

A fair week has passed since the KickStart Europe event. Thank you to everyone who attended, and special thanks to Stijn Grove for once again organizing a fantastic event. KickStart has definitely solidified its place as one of the leading industry events in Europe. But what did this year's event offer? There were truly excellent panels and discussions. Unfortunately, in the afternoon, there were four different tracks, so many interesting topics were left unseen. One main observation and gratitude must be given to some of the panel moderators who truly challenged and engaged the speakers. This clearly led to discussions that went beyond the usual rhetoric. There was much discussion about the current state and future of data center capacity and construction. Surprisingly, AI was mentioned relatively little in discussions. It occurred to me that perhaps the immense change AI is bringing to data center capacities from a FLAP-D perspective wasn't fully grasped, and where the greatest future lies in terms of construction. In CBRE's materials, Finland was somewhat excluded from the growing data center markets across Europe. However, in the AI panel, every speaker listed the Nordic countries, particularly Finland, as the top choice for building. This exclusion has sparked discussion, at least here in Finland. Hopefully, it will be addressed for next year's event. When considering why, here are a few figures that I believe can be compared anywhere in the world. Currently, there is nearly 1000 MW of data center capacity under construction in the Helsinki area alone. When considering the entire Finland, we're talking about capacity close to 2000 MW. I'm sure that with these numpers we can compete with all areas nowdays. Even after these numbers, we still have significantly more capacity, so I believe these figures will grow substantially in the coming years. Next event for me should be Datacloud Global Congress 2024 in Cannes Granlund #datacenters #FDCA #Granlund #kickstarteurope Kickstart Europe Conference

Mobile World Congress or MWC is the place to be for global mobile connectivity professionals. From 26 - 29 February 2024 the international connectivity ecosystem will converge in the halls of Fira Barcelona Gran Via for another trend-defining exhibition and conference event. This year, MWC will highlight six highly relevant themes for the mobile society: 5G and Beyond, Connecting Everything, Humanising AI, Manufacturing DX, Game Changers and Our digital DNA. MWC 2024 will house the biggest brands in the sector against the backdrop of the hottest technologies, exciting content and influential keynotes. The dynamic GSMA fair programme will attract over 88 000 participants from at least 200 countries, maintaining a 2 to 1 C-suite ratio. Insightful debate, inspiration, and business deals will converge the decision-makers and keynotes at the forefront of the global mobile ecosystem. Thanks to the high number of participants and speakers from adjacent industries, cross-industry connectivity interactions will dominate the show floor. https://lnkd.in/e_y_bs9D
