Future Factory 2024
The year 2024 will bring another set of challenges for the Czech industry, which must be responded to. With deliberation, but decisively. Rising inflation has left manufacturing companies with still relatively high energy costs. A depleted labour market, fluctuations in demand for manufactured goods and meeting changing regulatory requirements, particularly in relation to demands for environmental sustainability, also remain huge challenges. The intensification of competition between regions, particularly Europe, the US, China and India, is also a relatively new challenge.

Vodafone is also taking significant steps to reduce the impact of its business on the planet.
