Through his Rockaway Blockchain Fund, Viktor Fischer is investing $ 100 million into technologies that one day will be the foundation for the financial world of the future. “We’re changing the world from Prague, and I like that,” says the CEO of the successful blockchain fund.
The Rockaway Blockchain Fund, which specializes in investments into blockchain technologies and decentralized finance (DeFi) is adding its 22nd investment to its portfolio: German start-up Centrifuge, which connects investors looking for stable income with companies that need access to capital.
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival is busy with preparations for the post-poned 55th annual festival, and despite the difficult times caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, has a new strategic investor, Jakub Havrlant’s Rockaway Capital Group, which would thus like to support the film industry in the Czech Republic and Central Europe.
He smiles a lot and often mentions the importance of understanding – both in relation to customers and to his new new role. František Mala, who has replaced Lukáš Novák as the CEO of Euromedia, switched to the book business after two decades in telecommunications, which is perhaps also why he wants to base his new role on communication and connecting people.
His task is to put the MALL Group into the black, but the new head of the e-commerce group, Jan Hanuš, is already more concerned with what will come next. “It’s important for the sake of motivating people at MALL, who are waiting for it to happen so they’ll be able to take flight again,” says Hanuš.
Due to the Summer Olympics, which were postponed to this year, the Czech Olympic Committee is working with the Mall.TV internet channel, the CNC publishing house, and WPP to jointly bring sports fans exclusive digital content from behind the scenes of the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. CNC’s digital and print publications combined with Mall.TV’s technology will give rise to Czech Team TV.
