"Data is the oil of the 21st century" – Digital sovereignty as a key to competitiveness At the AI Summit, Szabolcs Szolnoki (Deputy State Secretary for Technology, Space, and Defense Industry) emphasized that countries unable to leverage their data assets will fall behind economically. Hungary is aligning with the EU’s vision: building supercomputing networks, implementing the AI Act, and advancing its national AI strategy focused on trustworthy, transparent, and accountable AI systems. The message is clear: 📌 Digital self-determination isn't just a tech issue — it's a strategic economic priority. 📌 Regulation must support cooperation, not just control. https://lnkd.in/dxQYv_vC

🚨 Allegro & Żabka Polska join forces – a bold move in the last mile chessboard ♟️📦 Allegro has just announced a strategic collaboration with Żabka to expand its Allegro Delivery network, adding thousands of Żabka stores across Poland as new pickup points. 🛍️🚶‍♂️ This partnership boosts Allegro's logistics flexibility and puts pressure on InPost, especially as Żabka’s convenience locations offer extended hours and urban accessibility. ⏰🏙️ 💡 The message is clear: Allegro wants the density to compete with InPost lokcers, but will this be enough? Let the last-mile game continue… #Allegro #Żabka #InPost #LastMileDelivery #Ecommerce #RetailInnovation #PolandLogistics #ParcelLockers #ConvenienceRetail #AllegroDelivery https://lnkd.in/d3u-RkyF

Poland just reminded Europe that marketplaces aren’t slowing down. Allegro dropped its Q2 results today and the numbers are loud: 📈 GMV: PLN 17.24 billion 💰 Revenue: PLN 2.97 billion (+10% YoY) 💡 Adj. EBITDA Poland: PLN 1.04 billion For context, that’s growth while most retailers are still blaming the weather. But here’s where it gets interesting: Allegro is no longer just Poland’s Amazon-alternative, it’s quietly building its own playbook. 🟢 Ad money machine Retail media is the new tax. Allegro’s ad revenues are growing fast and quietly becoming a margin hero. Sellers who ignore it are basically funding their competitors. 📦 Logistics edge Lockers everywhere, faster delivery, cheaper fulfillment. It’s not about “choice” anymore, it’s about control over last mile. 🚫 No patience for slow imports Allegro is trimming long-ship listings from East Asia. Translation: if your lead time is months, you’re out of the race. So what’s the lesson? Allegro is proving that a marketplace doesn’t need global sprawl to scale profit. It just needs to squeeze every lever in its home market until it hums. Meanwhile, EU brands selling on Allegro should be asking themselves one question: Are you playing by Allegro’s new rules, or are you still hoping Polish shoppers will wait for your parcel to swim across the ocean? #ecommerce #marketplaces #allegro #dtc #retailmedia

Liubov K. lives in Vinnytsia, and together with her husband Dmytro, a veteran, she participated in the Training for Change project implemented by the NGO Ukrainian Professional Development as part of Skills4Recovery programme. The couple studied to become mechanics specialising in the repair of wheeled vehicles. In February 2022, Dmytro volunteered to defend the country. He returned from the battlefield this spring, full of motivation to work for the good of his family and country. At some point in the job search, the couple decided to start their own business. And now they are farmers. They grow corn. So far, they do everything in the field manually, but they plan to buy their own agricultural machinery and maintain it themselves. To do this, the couple needed to acquire a thorough knowledge of vehicle repair. That’s how they decided to apply together for Training for Change. “Now we know a lot of technical nuances. And we will no longer feel confused in the store when choosing agricultural machinery, as we did before,” – admitted Liubov.    Without exaggeration, this training has also become a place of recovery for Dmytro. The man says that constant communication with other participants, being busy during the training, working with new tasks and working in the field helped him calm his anxiety and structure his own desires. Also, meetings with a psychologist as part of the project have yielded results: “I'm grateful for this opportunity, because psychological help is very helpful for former military men. Now my family and I are working hard to develop our own business, making big plans, so there is no time to think about unnecessary things.” Dmytro is currently undergoing business development training, which he says is a great incentive to improve his knowledge of running his own business. The Training for Change project was implemented by the ГО «Український професійний розвиток» within the framework of the Multi Donor Initiative Skills4Recovery, which is financed by the European Union, Germany, Poland, Estonia, and is implemented by GIZ Ukraine and the Solidarity Fund PL - Fundacja Solidarności Międzynarodowej (SFPL). #Skills4Recovery #GIZ #SFPL #BMZ #EUD #ESTDEV #GermanCooperationUkraine
