JENEWEIN GALLERY: Portraits of the founding partner M. Krekáč I ŠTRAUCH, KNAP, HYŽA, BARINKA and others

Over the 35 years of our existence, the environment in which we operate has changed fundamentally. When we included the historical Amrop Jenewein News in the Jenewein gallery, we already mentioned that technological progress over the past decades has transferred the vast majority of information and communication to the virtual world. However, many years of our development and formation of the consulting market in Central Europe overlapped with the period when classic printed materials – newspapers, magazines and company brochures – were the main means of presentation or communication. However, sharing our own knowledge and experience is important to us at every stage. Especially at the turn of the millennium, we devoted a lot of energy and effort not only to the creation of authored articles, studies and analyses, but also to active cooperation in the creation and publication of various professional supplements specialized in human capital and management. Such was the case, for example, with the supplement to the Hospodárske noviny Career, later Human Capital, the magazines Business Slovakia and Bratislava/Prague Leaders Magazine, or the annual Career & Employment Guide from The Slovak Spectator. Part of the production process, longer and more complicated than today, was also high-quality image materials. And this is how several photographic portraits of the founding partner and chairman of the Jenewein Group, Martin Krekáč, were created, five of which we have also selected for our gallery in the month of his birthday. Starting from the photo from 1995 – the year of our fifth anniversary, to the current one – their authors are renowned photographers such as Maňo Štrauch, Dušan Knap, Alan Hyža, Jozef Barinka and many others. They illustrated profile interviews or commentaries for newspapers and magazines such as e.g. Revue priemyslu, Goldman, Kankán, Žurnál, Trend, SME, etc. Even today, we do not compromise on quality, but communication with our surroundings is much, much faster thanks to technological innovations and AI.
Jenewein gallery is a virtual gallery that presents a selection of art, music or advertising works created in the history of the Jenewein Group.

On January 30, 2025, the Flagey cultural center in Brussels once again became the venue for the Slovak New Year's Concert. As in previous years, the consulting company Fipra Slovakia became one of the partners of the popular event, which traditionally belongs to the calendar of (not only) the Slovak community in Brussels. The event was sponsored by the European Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič, Permanent Representative of the Slovak Republic to the EU Juraj Nociar, Chargé d´affaires of the Slovak Republic to the Kingdom of Belgium Andrej Michalec and Permanent Representative of the Slovak Republic to NATO Marek Varga. Foreign and Slovak guests, mainly from European institutions and the diplomatic and entrepreneurship environment, listened to performers from various musical genres – opera singers Eva Hornyáková, Otokar Klein and Titusz Tóbisz, singers Michaela Kukurová and Marta Ďumbalová forming Duo La Femme, singers Marián Čekovský, Lukáš Adamec and Ondrej Kandráč, orchestra The Music of the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic under conductor Július Selčan and children's folklore ensemble Klnka.
