Extraordinarily strong energy and exceptional charisma – that is Mimi Nicklin, the Empathy Advocate! As an executive director, bestselling author, popular presenter, and personal coach, she has over 18 years of experience from more than 25 countries around the world.
On Wednesday, June 12, we recommend visiting the START-UP STAGE, which will take place in the unique atmosphere and setting of the drained pool at the Imperial Hotel. Together with Jiří Vrobel and Jakub Linhart, we will dive into the depths of artificial intelligence possibilities with the tool The MAMA AI. In a short interview, we asked Jiří why you should attend this block and how The MAMA AI tool can help us in the field of procurement, as well as globally in our daily work.
At this year's edition of our procurement festival, Miroslav Singer will also be speaking – the former Governor of the Czech National Bank and current economic strategist at Generali CEE. His story can be briefly described as follows: From a high school student, through a PhD in the USA, to the pinnacle of the Czech economy.
At eBF, he will share with us how to navigate the currently uncertain waters of the global economy with his characteristic ease. He will show us that economics can be not only educational but also entertaining in his presentation.
"We are part of a connected world. There is more that unites us than divides us. The ecosystem of technology partners is full of vibrant connections, inspired innovations, creative solutions, and partnerships. This enriches the work of us all," borrowed words from the website of TD SYNNEX, a global leader in information technology distribution and the largest IBM distributor. And another one of our incredible partners of the eBF festival.
Let's embark together on a journey to a world where automated and routine tasks are handled by robots. Robots that replicate human activities with greater efficiency and play a crucial role. Robots that can save us up to 100% of the time spent on routine tasks and boost the competitiveness of companies and institutions several notches higher. Welcome to the 21st century. And all of this will be discussed on Thursday on the stage "Digital Revolution in Procurement Practice" by Zdeněk Kabátek from Automation Dock.
With geopolitical expert Vladimír BAAR from the University of Ostrava, we'll explore nearly the whole world, promising an adventurous ride for the bold, curious, and adventurous. He'll take us primarily to unstable regions such as China, Russia, Ukraine, Taiwan, or the Middle East, focusing on current threats, opportunities, and perhaps solutions to sometimes seemingly unsolvable conflicts. In the discussion about the impact of critical markets on business and procurement, he'll be joined by Peter Majtán from the multinational MOL Group.

The novelty of this year's eBF is the Start-up stage, where interesting and even more interesting projects will be presented throughout Wednesday and Thursday! Therefore, we recommend marking this scene in the program and not forgetting the special inspiration (June 12th) from ADEOS, pioneers in the field of digitalization and modernization of financial management. Thanks to their application APOLLO, ADEOS offers a wide range of tools for improving planning and reporting in financial, business, manufacturing, procurement, and other industries. This time, we interviewed Vladislav Hanák in the eBF studio and asked him a few simple questions. Enjoy watching and we look forward to meeting you at the eBF Procurement Festival.

Every festival is only as good as the people who contribute to it - speakers, partners, moderators, and behind-the-scenes staff. That's why it's amazing that we can surround ourselves with the best in the market, thanks to our expert partners. Semantic Visions is a purely Czech company specializing in risk detection using artificial intelligence and state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques for analyzing data from global electronic media. Every day, they collect and analyze information from over 1.1 million articles in 12 languages, identifying events related to specific activities, events, or companies. They can track trends and identify potential risks or opportunities for businesses.
When the terms category management, category strategy or risk management are mentioned, everyone immediately thinks of Peter Majtán. It won't be any different after this year's festival, when Peter took over the dramaturgy of the "Strategy & Risk Management" stage at the MOL Group / Dun & Bradstreet Stage on Wednesday 12/6.
After last year's success (the original scene in the drained pool of the Imperial Hotel), the permanent fixture of the festival program, the Amazon stage, prepared another big surprise. The dramaturg of the entire scene, Michal Kristiňák, invited Miroslav Singra to the finale, with whom he will discuss economic forecasts from the perspective of financial institutions and predictions for the procurement world, prospects for new markets and a replacement for China or Euro 7.
