Im Cubex Centrum Praha fand kürzlich ein außergewöhnliches Galadinner statt, das sich dank der einzigartigen 360-Grad-Projektion an den Wänden des Saals unauslöschlich in das Gedächtnis aller Teilnehmer eingebrannt hat. Cubex ist das einzige Zentrum in Mitteleuropa, das solche außergewöhnlichen Projektionsmöglichkeiten bietet und den Gästen ein wahrhaft immersives Erlebnis ermöglicht.

Die rein weißen Wände des Cubex, kombiniert mit fortschrittlicher AV-Technologie, erlaubten die Projektion von Bildern und Animationen über den gesamten Raum. Die Gäste des Galadinners tauchten in eine visuell dynamische Umgebung ein, die sich im Einklang mit den servierten Gängen stetig veränderte.

Zusätzlich wurde das Erlebnis durch Tablemapping erweitert – eine Technik, bei der Animationen direkt auf die Tische projiziert wurden. Dies bereicherte das kulinarische Erlebnis und verstärkte den Gesamteindruck des Abends.

Dieser innovative Ansatz zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie moderne Technologie unvergessliche Erlebnisse schaffen kann, an die sich die Gäste noch lange nach dem Event erinnern werden.

Arthur Braun wurde auf der letzten Partnerversammlung in Popovičky für eine weitere zweijährige Amtszeit als managing partner von bpv BRAUN PARTNERS gewählt.

Er beschrieb seine wichtigsten Ziele für diese Amtszeit: "Neben der Unterstützung des Teams, unsere Erfolgsgeschichte auch in den wahrscheinlich herausfordernden nächsten Jahren fortzuschreiben, sehe ich meine Aufgabe für die nächsten zwei Jahre vor allem darin, die Digitalisierung unserer Kanzlei voranzutreiben sowie unsere nächste Partnergeneration weiter aufzubauen."

• New peak: 133 class action claims were filed across Europe in 2023, the highest number to date. 2023 saw “opt-out” class actions outnumber “opt-in” class actions for the first time in Europe.
   
• UK at risk forefront: The UK remains the highest-risk jurisdiction for class actions in Europe, with the total claimed value of class actions in the UK – opt-in and opt-out – in the region of EUR 145bn and competition class actions involving over 540 million class members by the end of 2023.
   
• Portugal surpasses Netherlands: Portugal’s class action claims, amounting to EUR 45.85bn, surpassed those in the Netherlands (EUR 35.33bn) in 2023. In Portugal, actions seeking monetary payment increased six-fold compared to 2022.
   

According to global law firm CMS's 2024 European Class Action Report, 2023 marked another year of sustained and significant growth in European class actions. The 133 claims filed represent a 10% increase from 2022 and a staggering 93% increase since 2019.

Kenny Henderson, Partner at CMS, says: “The surge in class action claims across Europe reflects an increasingly complex legal landscape. It is extraordinary that competition class actions encompassing more than 540 million class members have been brought in the UK, with most of the growth in just the last three years. This translates to more than 8.1 actions for each person in the UK. The numbers are so other-worldly because these people are brought into these opt-out U.S. class actions without being asked and usually without their knowledge. Equally astronomical are the sums involved. In the period 2018-2023, EUR 145bn of damages were sought – a level of damages that continues to increase year on year.”

The CMS report also reveals the deep spread of claims across Europe. While England and Wales remained the highest-risk European jurisdiction, accounting for 29% of all claims, Portugal (23%) and the Netherlands (18%) closely followed. Germany (8%), Poland (6%) and Italy (4%) were also more active in 2023. This is a stark contrast to 2020 when 63% of claims were filed in England and Wales. The implementation of the Representative Action Directive (RAD) in 2023, aimed at facilitating collective redress for mass consumer claims, has been a pivotal development, taking effect in Portugal, Netherlands and most EU states.

Dr. Zsolt Okányi, CMS’s Global Head Dispute Resolution, comments: “While the UK continues to lead in terms of risk, the rapid rise in claims in Portugal and the Netherlands signals a broader trend. The increased availability of litigation funding and advancements in technology have facilitated the pursuit of mass claims and made it easier for claimants to organise and file actions. The implementation of RAD is also proving significant, providing a mechanism for collective redress and empowering consumers and public bodies across Europe to take action against more corporations.”

Bereits am 18. Juni startet in Pilsen ein weiterer Jahrgang der Konferenz Trends in Automotive Logistics (TAL 2024), diesmal unter dem Motto Driving the Digital Fast Lane. Sie bietet erneut aktuelle Themen aus der Sicht tschechischer und ausländischer Redner, inspirative Vorträge und praktische Fallstudien sowie auch Raum für Diskussionen und Networking.

Die Automobilbranche wird immer dynamischer. Die jüngste Krise und Erschütterungen haben zu dramatischen Veränderungen und Innovationen in der gesamten Lieferkette geführt. Neue Technologien, Automatisierung und künstliche Intelligenz spielen dabei eine entscheidende Rolle. Die digitale Transformation ist wie ein Weg, den Unternehmen gegen müssen, um für sich ändernde Bedingungen gerüstet zu sein und einen Wettbewerbsvorteil zu erlangen. Was müssen „Lenker“, Logistiker und IT-Experten tun, um auf die Überholspur der digitalen Autobahn kommen? Über welche Technologien, Plattformen und Fähigkeiten müssen sie verfügen, um mit ihren Teams die Ziele sicher zu erreichen?

„Es gibt unzählige Trends, die sich in den letzten Jahren im Kontext der Digitalisierung und Automatisierung herausgebildet haben, und dabei ist es nicht einfach, den Überblick zu behalten, sich zu orientieren und das wahre Potenzial aller sich bietenden Möglichkeiten einzuschätzen. Auf dem diesjährigen Programm stehen daher beispielsweise die praktische Nutzung von Simulationstechnologie, die Problematik der Arbeit mit großen Datenmengen, aber auch das Thema Cybersicherheit, und zwar nicht nur im Zusammenhang mit dem Aufkommen der künstlichen Intelligenz“, sagt Roman Žák, Gründer der veranstaltenden Firma Aimtec. „Wir werden außerdem einen Einblick in den interessanten Bereich der Batterielogistik geben und abschließend eine Reflexion darüber anbieten, wie man bei all den technologischen Fortschritten seinen gesunden Menschenverstand bewahren kann.“

„Prag war für mich schon immer eine große Quelle des reichen kulturellen Lebens und der Musik im Allgemeinen, und das wird es auch bleiben. Das Orchester der Prager Symphoniker, das die Musik ständig pflegt und veredelt, gehört zu Recht zum Besten, das Prag zu bieten hat. Es ist für mich eine große Ehre und Freude, dass sich unsere künstlerischen Wege vereinen und wir gemeinsam das reiche Potenzial dieses großartigen Orchesters weiterentwickeln werden und dabei den Zuhörern nicht nur in Prag, sondern in der gesamten Tschechischen Republik und im Ausland Freude bereiten können. Unser gemeinsamer Weg wird für mich ein wunderschönes und neues künstlerisches Kapitel sein,“ sagt Tomáš Netopil, derzeit noch gastierender Hauptdirigent der Tschechischen Philharmonie und bis zur vergangenen Saison auch Generalmusikdirektor des Aalto Musiktheaters und der Philharmonie Essen.
