With the rise of Industry 4.0, robotization has become a big topic in the media space. "In manufacturing, though, robots are kind of taken for granted. They are a necessary condition for manufacturers to streamline production, reduce the amount of strenuous work and ensure the highest occupational safety possible. In our view, the main contribution of Industry 4.0 is in automation, digitization and working with data for timely decision-making and increased competitiveness," agree the Lát brothers, co-owners of the family company BENEŠ a LÁT. Josef Lát is the CSO and engineer, while Jan Lát is the CFO – as well as winner of the honourable title Manager of the Year Competition 2021 in the Czech Republic.

While some mainstream media may be overly pessimistic about the Czech economy, there are some good news following from an independent survey by Komerční banka analysts. Although 2023 may well be another difficult year ahead of us, there is no reason for “dark scenarios”. Broadly speaking, our economy has overcome most obstacles so far. In Q3 and Q4 2022, we went through a very mild recession, and this year, we should see a slight recovery. We have weathered the energy crisis, while maintaining a high employment rate. We’ve talked about all this with David Formánek, Member of the KB Board of Directors responsible for corporate and investment banking. As Mr. Formánek emphasises, "The Czech economy was supported by foreign demand, as eventually there was no recession in the Eurozone countries. It also showed how viable and strong our companies and their leaders are, which is very encouraging."
