We are facing two challenges in the Czech Republic that may also be relevant for other countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The first is related to the infrastructure for e-health and, more broadly, digitisation. This infrastructure has not been built yet, largely owing to implementation inefficiencies and capacity constraints at a national level. The second is the availability of health data for secondary use, such as research, measuring quality and safety, and understanding what is happening in the healthcare system.

Recently, AmCham Real Estate Council discussion participants came to a conclusion that while offices are not dead, home office is here to stay. Companies have adopted the ‘no additional desks‘ principle, measure occupancy, create heat maps, or seating plans, apps to regulate parking, they consolidate resources and communicate intensively with their employees.

Hiring programmers is no longer such a problem.
