KKCG Group

We have exciting plans for the growth and development for KKCG’s global digital engineering and technology business, Avenga. Becoming Official Race Partner of the McLaren Racing Formula 1 Team will be a game changer for the Avenga brand and market presence as it broadens its client offer across services and geographies.    This partnership positions Avenga among the leading global technology companies, exactly where it belongs. 

At KKCG, we celebrate initiatives that bring people together, drive #inclusivity, and create lasting #impact. That’s why we are incredibly proud of Stoiximan and its Wheels of Change initiative at the 13th Athens Half Marathon. 🏅 Bringing together over 800 volunteers and amateur runners, including top Stoiximan athletes, this event focused on breaking barriers and ensuring that sports remain accessible to everyone. A total of 30 specially designed racing wheelchairs were provided, along with comprehensive support for training and participation, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable sporting #community. 👏🏼 A huge congratulations to everyone who took part, your dedication, passion, and teamwork make a real difference!

🏁 We’re proud to announce that Avenga is joining McLaren Formula 1 Team as an Official Race Partner for five grands prix in 2025, starting with the Chinese Grand Prix! Avenga and McLaren Racing are united by their dedication to technology as drivers of progress, whether in motorsport or the digital world. This partnership is a major milestone for Avenga, reinforcing our position among the world’s leading digital engineering companies. It strengthens our global presence and reflects our commitment to excellence and innovation. The partnership has been made possible after Allwyn, Official Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team – and also owned by KKCG – exercised its pass-through rights enabling Avenga to display its branding on McLaren Formula 1 Team assets for five races of the 2025 F1 season. Our partnership with McLaren Formula 1 Team is an exciting milestone as we enter a new era: Avenga moves forward in its merger with Qinshift to form a unified global business under the Avenga name. Our new brand identity is currently in development and will be unveiled in the coming months.

Rising energy costs, global competition, and the shift toward services continue to reshape the Europe’s economic foundations. Yet, the road ahead is not without opportunity. New economic corridors are reshaping Europe’s manufacturing and trade hubs, spreading industrial activity beyond its traditional strongholds.” 🔎 In a new analysis, Martin Janíčko, Head of Risk Management at MND, part of KKCG’s #energy pillar, explores how Europe can strengthen its industrial #resilience through #innovation and strategic market adaptation.

At KKCG, we believe that the next generation of #leaders should have the opportunity to experience decision-making at the highest level. That is why we are proud to support CEOx1Day, a program that allows university students to shadow top executives and gain first-hand leadership insights. 🎯 As part of this initiative, Ales Vesely, CEO of SAZKA a.s., part of our #entertainment pillar, welcomed Tereza Galuskova, a student of British business law, to step into his role for a day. Reflecting on the experience, Aleš said:  "I always find inspiration from young, talented people to be a valuable way to step out of my professional bubble. It gives me a fresh perspective on how today’s young generation thinks. I’m glad to see that they not only have great education but also big ambitions to achieve something big and impactful."  🙌 A big thank you to Tereza for her #curiosity and #courage. We wish her the best of luck in her career and future endeavors! 

Kicking off the season in style, it was a privilege to be in Melbourne for the FORMULA 1 LOUIS VUITTON AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2025. As an Official Partner, we’re thrilled to be a part of the F1 community and can’t wait for what the rest of the season holds.  Formula 1 #Allwyn #WinningAwaits 

At KKCG, we believe that #innovation and #sustainability go hand in hand. That’s why we are proud to see MND, part of our #energy pillar, supporting pioneering technologies that push the boundaries of what’s possible in renewable energy. Brno-based start-up NANO Advanced has built a breakthrough hydrogen generator prototype—a potentially game-changing development for enhancing efficiency, longevity, and adaptability in green hydrogen production. With up to five times longer lifespan than conventional devices and an electrolyser efficiency of 70–85%, this technology sets new standards for renewable energy storage and decarbonization. ✔️ By partnering with innovators, MND continues to explore new solutions for energy storage and #sustainable power generation, reinforcing our collective commitment to a cleaner and more #resilient energy future.

🚀 Leading a company through #transformation is never just about strategy. It is about people, culture, and #vision. In a recent podcast with Heidrick & Struggles, Ludovic Gaudé, CEO of Avenga and Qinshift, part of KKCG, shares his perspective on what it takes to lead #technology firms through mergers and a fast-shifting IT landscape. “The key to success is creating culture that supports both innovation and performance. To achieve that you have to build a team where collective achievement is more important than individual ambition,” shares Ludovic.  Listen to this conversation with Ludovic Gaudé for an insightful take on the future of #leadership in technology: https://lnkd.in/e6UBuVvb  

🔄 At KKCG, we are committed to finding new ways to make our businesses more #sustainable. In our real estate arm, KKCG Real Estate Group, this means integrating circular economy principles to redefine how buildings are constructed, renovated, and repurposed. One standout project is the #transformation of the former SAZKA building in Prague. "We go beyond mere recycling—we aim to renovate the building using materials that themselves contain a high proportion of secondary raw materials. This applies especially to the façade, where we are considering the use of premium recycled aluminium and glazing with a high content of recycled glass," explains Karel Fronk, ESG Manager at KKCG Real Estate. 🤝🏻 Through partnerships with Cyrkl, CVUT UCEEB, Saint-Gobain, Tarkett, MFS and others, KKCG Real Estate is driving real change in sustainable #development.

🙌 For International Women’s Day, we are celebrating just a few of our #colleagues who lead, #inspire and drive change across KKCG.     jana hamršmídová, Director of the Energy Division at MND; Veronika Benackova, Group Senior Counsel – M&A and Organic Growth at Allwyn; Tanja Duvander, Vice President of People at Avenga and Qinshift; and Andria Vidler, CEO of Allwyn UK, demonstrate #leadership built on #vision and determination. Their paths may be different, but they share a commitment to breaking barriers, shaping industries, and mentoring the next generation of leaders.
