Marketing and HR in 2026: How to profit from AI without losing the human touch?
Remember the days when we threw a keyword into a search engine and then spent an hour sifting through links? This era, which Martin Moncoľ from Press Play aptly calls the era of the “Librarian,” is definitively ending. The era of the “Answerer” is arriving. Today, industrial buyers and everyday consumers don’t want a list of websites. They want a solution. Now. The statistics are relentless. More than 50% of searches today end as “Zero-click.” This means the user gets the answer directly on the search engine page and never […]
E-invoicing: Digital invoicing that gives your company control and cuts costs
A PDF invoice is not an electronic invoice. Many companies don’t realize this. When you send an invoice as a PDF by email, someone on the other side either retypes it into the system manually or at least checks it. Time, errors, unnecessary work. A true electronic invoice is a structured data file — XML — that the customer’s system can load, process, and post automatically. Retyping? Errors? Waiting? None of that. Maroš Kumi, Head of Sales at 26HOUSE, puts it simply: a qualified accountant won’t waste time retyping invoices, […]
The biggest problem for Slovak business isn’t capital: companies are held back by isolation more than anything else
Slovak business has a problem that isn’t talked about much. It’s not a lack of talent or capital. It’s isolation. Companies operate side by side and tackle similar problems on their own. They look for solutions someone else found long ago, yet they don’t even know about each other. Inovato was created as a response to this situation. Not through yet another contact database, but through real relationships, joint projects, and an environment where people meet who have something to offer and are also open to collaboration. We brought together […]
3D printing in industry: A revolution, an add-on, or the biggest untapped opportunity?
Imagine you need a nozzle with a special internal channel. Small, precise, functional. Traditional manufacturing will tell you: two weeks—stock the material, tools, fixtures. 3D printing will tell you: tomorrow morning. This isn’t sci-fi. This is the everyday reality for companies that have understood additive manufacturing and deployed it where it makes sense. And that’s exactly what Petr Štěpánek – a mechanical engineer, designer, and co-founder of STEPANEK3D talks about—a company that in just a few years has helped more than 350 companies deliver over 3,000 unique projects. What additive […]
Up to 6% of your taxes? In 2026 it’s possible—your 2% can change more than you think
Tax return season is rarely the most popular time of year. However, among all the numbers and forms lies an opportunity that truly makes sense—allocating 2% of your paid taxes. This is a portion of the tax you have already paid, which you get to decide how to use. It is not an extra expense, but an opportunity to support organizations whose work often has a significant social impact. At INOVATO, we have long supported innovation, education, and active individuals who want to move things forward. That is why we […]
From hydrogen models to real engineers: H2GP Slovakia shows what hands-on learning should look like

She also explained why companies should invest in young talent. At the same time, she outlined what the future of technical education in Slovakia looks like. Košice showed that the east has both talent and partners The Košice Hydrogen Cup delivered exactly what the organizers wanted—a live demonstration of how education can work. At the start line, 19 teams from Slovakia […]
Juraj Krnavec: Digitalization is not a threat, but standing still is. An accountant alone won’t save you.
Juraj Krnavec is an accounting expert with many years of experience in financial management, digitalization, and automation of accounting processes. In 2012, he founded the company SPEEDIER (the original name of the company, which later became RE-FORM OFFICE), which today is among the progressive accounting firms in Slovakia. His view of accounting is refreshing – he doesn’t see it as a necessary evil, but as a tool for business development. And that’s exactly what our interview was about. An accountant won’t solve it for you. And they shouldn’t. “By hiring […]
Martin Moncoľ from Press Play: AI doesn’t take our jobs. It helps us do them better.
AI is entering the work of agencies and companies much faster than it might seem. According to Martin, clients are already coming with outputs from ChatGPT, which changes the way communication and project assignments are handled. According to him, artificial intelligence streamlines processes, supports creativity, and brings new opportunities, but its full potential is only fully realized in collaboration with humans. In the interview, he also touches upon the question of how AI is becoming part of campaigns, what risks it brings, and why it’s important to step out of […]
Renáta Fogeltonová: Education is not just about curriculum. The future is built on cooperation, trust, and shared growth
Renáta explains that connecting formal and informal education is the mission of OZ Cesty k podnikaniu. “Schools provide basic knowledge and systematically evaluate students with tests and grades. Informal education responds flexibly, connects knowledge with real life, and fosters intrinsic motivation. When these two worlds cooperate, young people are not just bearers of knowledge, but can also apply it practically,” says Renáta. Obedient or Independent? Slovak education still lags behind the needs of the present and the future. Teaching often focuses on correct answers, where a mistake means punishment. “Children […]
