International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating women's social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality. This year's topic is devoted to equity. Equity is about making sure everyone has the chance to succeed and has the resources they need to do so. It's not about supporting everyone in the same way but supporting everyone according to their skills and needs.

You all know we are passionate about women in tech companies. One of the priorities for Sygic and the whole EW group is to have more women on our leadership team.

Our Xmas parties are always themed. This year's dress code was #spaceparty. And we really did take it seriously.

Smart mobility is one of the use cases that Sygic could bring to make city transport more effective in the future. A real-time traffic modeling framework is one of our tasks in the EVEREST Project, presented during the European Researcher's Night in Bratislava.

Summer is always our favorite season. It gives us fuel to work - with ice cream and fresh fruits and brings our terrace to life - with BBQs and teambuilding after work.

It was in July 2004 when Michal Štencl, with his partners, founded Sygic. 👨‍💼 Since then, it's been 18 years of unceasing effort to be the best in the world – 18 years of many first-places, innovations, tackling challenges of several industries, and bringing new technologies to them. From navigating fleets to the navigation of commuters and travelers, truck drivers, and caravanners to the solutions for insurance and automotive. 🚗 Sygic has grown up into an adult, always putting people in the first place and still keeping its young mindset!

It is no secret we hope to have much more women in IT. There is a soft spot in our hearts for organizations such as Aj Ty v IT , that supports women opportunities in tech companies or any other companies. They aim to empower, educate and motivate women and girls.

Usually we meet under the Christmas tree and review the past year. Unfortunately COVID has not allowed us to meet so we had to postpone and meet in February.

Last few days it might have felt as the summer is over. Hoping for Indian Summer to come, we want to share some Challenge Day memories with you. We love to work hard and play hard. Our value Challenge reminds us of how important it is to regularly try something out of our comfort zone to learn, improve, and enjoy. Challenge Day is an event when basically everyone from Sygic leaves their comfort zone and tries something new, usually involving getting sweaty, dirty, having to swim or climb. This year we decided to conquer Maly Dunaj.
