Prof. Andrzej Blikle: Łączymy by budować
Warszawa - 27-30 listopada 2014 - "Nie oczekujemy przywilejów i ulg, damy sobie radę bez nich, ale oczekujemy równego traktowania małych i dużych, a także polskich i zagranicznych pomiotów gospodarczych. Małym rodzinnym podmiotom trudno jest konkurować z wielkimi inwestorami, którzy najpierw otrzymują najlepsze lokalizacje pod budowę swoich zakładów, a później płacą podatki nie w naszym kraju. Nie chcemy płacić niższych podatków. Chcemy płacić wyższe, ale nie przez wzrost stóp podatkowych, tylko przez rozwój naszych firm. Bo to jedyna zdrowa droga do dobrobytu społeczeństwa. Jednak, aby tak się stało, potrzebujemy wolności gospodarczej mierzonej choćby indeksem Instytutu Frasera w Vancouverze. Jej wzrost nie wymaga nakładów finansowych, a jedynie woli politycznej koniecznej do uzdrowienia prawa i strzegących go instytucji. Od lat Polska pozostaje w tej sferze w tyle rozwiniętych gospodarek świata, podczas gdy daleko wyprzedzają nas takie kraje jak Gruzja i Armenia. Aby móc tego wszystkiego oczekiwać my firmy rodzinne musimy mieć dość siły, aby stać się elektoratem zdolnym chronić polityków gotowych do przeprowadzenia reform. Nie chcemy być silni, aby się nas bano. Chcemy być silni by dać wsparcie tym, którym nie zabraknie determinacji by położyć swoją polityczną karierę na szali, ryzykując niepopularne zmiany. Tej właśnie determinacji oczekujemy od polityków. Resztę zrobimy my - polscy rodzinni przedsiębiorcy. Bo przecież po to jesteśmy." - stwierdził prof. dr hab. Andrzej Blikle, Prezes stowarzyszenia Inicjatywa Firm Rodzinnych.

Miażdżący raport NIK o cyberbezpieczeństwie Polski
Warszawa - 26 listopada 2014 - Działania dotyczące cyberbezpieczeństwa państwa prowadzone są bez przygotowania i braku spójnej wizji, bo politycy nie zdają sobie sprawy ze skali zagrożeń - stwierdza w swoim raporcie Najwyższa Izba Kontroli. Zamęt pogłębia brak jednego ośrodka decyzyjnego, rozproszenie kompetencji i to, że instytucje nie potrafią ze sobą współpracować.

Poland's NCBJ thermal-to-14 MeV neutron converter is a sole device of its kind operated in the world
National Centre for Nuclear Research, Poland - November 20, 2014 - National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) experts in Poland have designed and developed a continuous-mode source of fast neutrons of energy 14 MeV fed by thermal neutrons produced by the MARIA research reactor in Świerk. Parameters of the reactor-converter combination are good enough to practically use the produced flux of fast neutrons to test various constructional materials necessary to successfully develop 4th generation nuclear reactors and thermonuclear reactors expected to produce majority of energy consumed by mankind in the future. The converter is the sole facility of its kind operated in the world. It will be used to irradiate various materials to test them as constructional materials needed for development of 4th generation nuclear reactors and/or thermonuclear facilities.

Piotr Dziwok, Shell: Polska wrzuci wyższy bieg
Warszawa - 20 listopada 2014 - "Młodzi są jednym z najważniejszych atutów kraju decydujących o jego konkurencyjności międzynarodowej. Sektor nowoczesnych operacji biznesowych to ważny obszar polskiej gospodarki, który może nadać jej wyższą prędkość. Doświadczenia dotyczące kształcenia kadr, budowania kompetencji i prowadzenia przedsiębiorstw, jakie wprowadzają zagraniczni inwestorzy na rodzimy rynek pracy, mogą być kluczowe dla powodzenia przyszłych pokoleń polskich specjalistów, którzy dziś opuszczają mury uczelni.

To one pomogą Polsce wrzucić wyższy bieg!" - pisze Piotr Dziwok, prezes Shell Polska.
