Celebrating International Children’s Day at Incap Slovakia
June 5, 2024 | IncapEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

On Saturday 1 June 2024, Incap Slovakia organized a special factory open day for our employees and their families. The event was held to celebrate International Children’s Day and saw nearly 600 employees and their family members participate.
The day began with a video message from Otto Pukk, President & CEO of Incap Corporation. Children enjoyed various attractions, including a circus-themed performance by a well-known artist and a children’s disco with mascots from a popular animated series. Adults had fun testing their strength and skills in different competitions. There was also a raffle with interesting prizes.
Employees used this opportunity to show their children and relatives where they work and what they do. Popular activities like bouncy castles and face painting were available, just like in previous years. A relaxation zone and tasty refreshments with Slovak culinary traditions were also provided.
The weather was perfect, with no rain, allowing everyone to enjoy the day fully. It was a day filled with joy and gratitude for the time spent together. Incap Slovakia is happy to have hosted this event and looks forward to more opportunities to bring our community together.

Dan’s Biz Bookshelf ‘House of Huawei'
08/14/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: Dan's Biz BookshelfEva Dou’s "House of Huawei" is one of the most gripping business books I’ve read in years, and believe me, I’ve read my fair share. This is not just another corporate biography. It’s a geopolitical thriller, except every word is true. People have painted the Chinese tech giant Huawei as a villain, a threat, and an enigma in equal measure. However, Dou cuts through the noise and delivers something few Western reporters have managed: a fair, balanced, and thoroughly researched look at the company everyone in tech has an opinion about, but few understand.
