Yesterday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released annual survey of the jobs, investment, and trade links between the United States and Europe -- The Transatlantic Economy 2021 – in partnership with AmCham EU. This year’s report confirms that the U.S. and Europe remain each other’s most important economic partners despite political turbulence and the COVID-19-induced recession.

We write to provide comment on the vaccination policy from the perspective of businesses. Our aim is to end the pandemic with the lowest loss of life possible and to return the economy to operations unaffected by pandemic as soon as the suppression of the pandemic makes it possible. These comments are made in recognition of the difficult choices facing the government, and are intended to put the organizational resources of private companies to work in helping the government and society to overcome this crisis.  

It´s already been a year ago since the first cases of the new Covid-19 disease appeared in the Czech Republic, which gradually reduced the possibility of personal contacts and caused a massive transition to the online environment in the global labor markets. Probably none of us expected that even a year later this situation will not change much. Companies have worked intensively on new measures, directives and rules over the past year, and many of these changes are likely to become a permanent part of our working lives.

Since 2005, technologies from Honeywell’s Advanced Tech Lab in Czechia (formerly the Czech Republic) have been quietly going about their business revolutionizing the aviation and aerospace industry. From leading many projects within the SESAR program to Very Large Demos of precision landing systems and performance navigation software, our engineers and scientists have been working with industry partners to enhance aviation safety, efficiency and performance.
