Selling online is easier than it seems
Small and medium-sized companies cannot afford to stay offline or become complacent about their success. To be sustainable long term, businesses must seize all opportunities the online environment offers. One such opportunity for entrepreneurs is the platform expandujonline.sk. It was created as part of the project Za Tatry a za Dunaj: How to Succeed Online and Grow (Also) Beyond Borders. Behind the initiative stands the EPPP – European Public Policy Partnership, part of the Jenewein Group. More about this topic writes in an article for Career Guide 2025 Martin Krekáč.
BLOG: Biological clocks are ticking in family businesses too
In another of his blog series, Martin Krekáč, chairman and founding partner of Jenewein Group, not only lists the most common barriers, but also ways that can help family businesses manage succession and generational change. In the consultancy that we have provided to 14 family businesses in recent months, one thing has repeatedly come up: generational change is not a technical problem, but primarily a human one. It is not enough to have a plan – you need to have trust, communication and, above all, a willingness to change your roles that you are used to.
What’s Next for Women’s Health in Europe?
FIPRA’s Senior Advisor Heike Galbraith sat down with Peggy Maguire, Executive Director of the European Institute of Women’s Health, to discuss where women’s health policy is heading in Europe. And why now is the moment for bold, coordinated EU action. Despite decades of progress, women in the EU continue to face a fragmented, male-default healthcare system. “Health systems across the EU have not been designed with women’s unique health needs in mind,” Maguire explains. “A dedicated EU strategy on women’s health is not just overdue – it’s essential.” Read more in the article written by FIPRA.
Into the storm. What now for mergers?
There had been some expectations of an increase in merger activity this year, with political pressures on regulators in each of the EU, UK and US to take a different approach – but with the threat of tariffs disrupting markets and US-EU relations under severe strain, what are the prospects now? FIPRA Special Advisor on Competition and Anti-Trust, Rory Chisholm, offers his insight and analysis.
BLOG: Why do so few people experience career success
Martin Krekáč, chairman and founding partner of Jenewein Group, reflects in another of his blog series on the fact that university degrees, high-ranking job positions, dazzling careers or above-average incomes are synonymous with success in the minds of many people. However, in reality, they are only success from a certain point of view. And they are not at all equal to career success. Anyone who really wants to experience career success must choose a completely different approach – for example, they must show that they have the determination and mental strength to be truly successful.

Slovakia´s digital infrastructure
The recent cyberattack on the Geodesy, Cartography, and Cadastre Authority demonstrated how vulnerable the state´s critical IT systems can still be. Whilst undoubtedly inconvenient, the attack did not present a direct threat to human lives. With acts of terrorism on the ride, we may not be so lucky the next time. How can we prevent this from happening? Read more about this topic in the article of Boris Kučera, Director at Fipra Slovakia, written for the Connection – the official magazine of AmCham Slovakia.
BLOG: Which 15 qualities are the basis of success?
In another series of author blogs, Martin Krekáč, chairman and the founding partner of Jenewein Group, presents his views on the fifteen most important qualities of successful people. The list of these qualities was recently published by the global job portal indeed. Martin Krekáč reads them from his own perspective as an expert on special and therapeutic pedagogy and career consultant and headhunter. Although there is no clear recipe for success, common features can be found in the career paths of successful people. What are they?
Competition in the cloud
The post-Brexit match between the UK competition authority and the European Union for digital regulation has begun. On 28 January, the Competition Market Authority (CMA) published its preliminary results on the state of competition in cloud services in the UK. The conclusion is clear: competition is not unfolding as it should. Read more about this topic in the article of Bruno Alomar, former senior official at the European Commission, a senior advisor at FIPRA and author of Reform or Oblivion: 10 years to save the European Union (2018).
BLOG: Consultants doing business – (not) of their own free will
Martin Krekáč, Chairman and Founding Partner of Jenewein Group, once again devotes his new blog to the dynamic world of consulting in Executive Search, Public Affairs & Professional Services. This time, he focused on consultants who enter consulting from a corporate environment. This change is not rare in career profiles. In countries where consulting services have a longer tradition than here, it is even a natural development. However, these are not always experts with long-term experience, but rather junior managers who decided to take this step under the influence of current circumstances...
