Accessibility is the issue that is crucial for everyone's inclusion. Are we prepared already for the upcoming regulation? Here are my thoughts on it. #accessibility

First things first: pleasure on my side, Daria Azariev North, and thank you for the interesting interview for EURACTIV.cz. Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to dive into the current challenges #AI and #disinformation pose to democratic processes and electoral integrity across member states of EU. Here are some bites from the interview: 🗳 Despite elections to the European Parliament being over, the democratic processes continue to be under threat. "You technically had 27 individual country-level elections and that makes the process all the more vulnerable," says Daria in the interview. 🎯 Different countries, different targets. In Germany 🇩🇪 the disinformers focused on energy and climate issues, along with the war in Ukraine; in Poland 🇵🇱 they "focused on Ukrainian refugees and social polarization stemming from historical tensions and claims of lowered living standards". In Spain 🇪🇸 it were Ukraine-related issues again. 🇨🇳 It's not only Kremlin, you know. China is also among the biggest disinformers – globally. Its strategy is different though. "For China, it's more about deploying the regime’s broader global strategy for economic hegemony and expansive political and economic goals. We especially see this in developing countries that may often have dependence on economic support from China, like in Africa, and throughout the 'global South' including Asia and Latin America, but also across the EU," emphasizes Daria. The whole interview – only in Czech though – can be found under the link below: https://lnkd.in/e5DFUeiB

For those unfamiliar with Irish, our names and the pronunciation of them can appear tricky. I think it’s because many may not be aware that our language has its own alphabet and so pronunciation is not the same as in English- this excellent video will help you get started! #irish

Not only for HR people…. Think positive

For those who can read in Estonian, or can't, but want a challenge. 😊 The story is a summary of the recognitions that Solita Estonia got last year, and more importantly, why.

A graduate of Business Informatics at SEBLU, Andreja Leški, won a gold medal in judo at the Paris Olympics! [edit] English translation of the quotes from her interview in 2023: She finished her studies in business, is good at music, and already uses her knowledge of business informatics in practice. "And also in everything I do, I really go deep and dedicate myself to it. In practice, this also means, for example, that I have found a job where I can use the knowledge in the field of business informatics that I studied in practice and improve myself. So even after finishing my studies, my brain is still working" https://lnkd.in/d6gnMvPg

Thrilled to share some potentially game-changing news for the Czech commercial real estate landscape! There's a buzz circulating about the Czech National Bank contemplating a reduction in interest rates. This development could have far-reaching implications, particularly in reigniting interest from foreign investment funds. For a while now, the Czech Republic has been grappling with a subdued position on the radar of foreign funds, primarily due to high seller expectations and the prevalence of overcredited or distressed properties in other investment-attractive European countries, notably Italy. Should the anticipated interest rate reduction materialize, it has the potential to recalibrate the dynamics of the commercial real estate market in the Czech Republic. A more favorable interest rate environment could serve as a catalyst, enticing foreign funds back into the market and breathing new life into the sector. Since many foreign funds (German, Austrian) also ask us about the possibility of financing by local banks when considering Czech CRE. This, in turn, presents a golden opportunity for the Czech Republic to shed its underdog status and reposition itself as a compelling investment destination. As someone deeply entrenched in the commercial real estate realm, I'm hopeful that this development will mark a turning point. In our portfolio, we have assets that perfectly align with the criteria sought by foreign funds, and we remain vigilant in our pursuit of promising opportunities. Let's keep a keen eye on the unfolding developments and collectively hope for positive changes that will contribute to the growth and vibrancy of the commercial real estate sector in the Czech Republic. Exciting times ahead for the Czech commercial real estate market! 🌍🏗️ #CommercialRealEstate #InvestmentOpportunities #CzechRepublic #RealEstateMarket #FinancialNews #Kingstonhamilton

I recently spoke on Czech TV about the need to efficiently use revenues from the #EUETS and invest them into #decarbonisation of the Czech economy. For this to happen, it is important to: ➡ have a clear national legislation that makes it mandatory to use 100% of revenues on climate-friendly measures, ➡ these spendings must be transparent and regularly monitored and evaluated for their climate impacts, ➡ part of the spendings should go to low income households and compensate them for increased costs associated with climate policies. The Czech Republic can have up to 300 bn. CZK available from the ETS revenues until 2030. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity that cannot be wasted.

In the Article, I am explaining what are the exceptions for accessibility requirements that are set in the European Accessibility Act and national legislation.. #accessibility

This tool should be in every toolbox.
