Takiej inwestycji jeszcze w Polsce nie było! Chiński gigant Tencent przejmuje większościowy pakiet udziałów w Techlandzie, drugiej największej polskiej firmie z rynku gamedevu. Tencent od kilku lat podbija zachodni świat. Robi to po cichu, wchodzi tylnymi drzwiami, inwestuje sporo, ale głównie w firmy z branży gier, a więc budzące mniej zainteresowania opinii publicznej i służb. I tak oto stał się globalnym potentatem na tym rynku, z udziałami w najważniejszych firmach. Tymczasem zakup Techlandu jest jedną z największych - jeśli nie największą - dotychczasowych chińskich inwestycji w Polsce. Co więcej, dotyczy ona firmy, której szefuje Paweł Marchewka, który wraz z żoną oraz z firmami ich przyjaciół i wspólników ma powiązania z premierem Mateuszem Morawieckim W takim kontekście nowy polsko-chiński kontrakt jest tak ciekawy, że postanowiłyśmy przerwać wakacje podcastowe i nagrać dwa specjalne odcinki "Techstorii", by ze szczegółami opowiedzieć o kulisach tego wydarzenia. Oraz o jego głównych bohaterach: Ponym Ma, tajemniczym prezesie Tencentu. I Pawle Marchewce, niemniej tajemniczym prezesie Techlandu. W pierwszej części przyglądamy się drodze Ponyego Ma od drobnego chińskiego inwestora, który karierę zaczął od plagiatowania zachodnich innowacji, po twórcę największej technologicznej spółki Chin. W tym odcinku wspierają nas swoją wiedzą: dr Ewa Cieślik z Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego w Poznaniu specjalizująca się w tematyce rozwoju gospodarczego Chin, dziennikarz technologiczny specjalizujący się w gamedev Mateusz Witczak, Paweł Sugalski, założyciel funduszu Smart Money FIZ i autor książki “Gaming na giełdzie” oraz Radzym Wójcik, prawnik zajmujący się transakcjami na rynkach gamedevu i technologii z kancelarii Baker McKenzie.

The US's flyover country is taking off, boosted by technology. Previously known for industry and agriculture, decline and decay, heartland cities are being revived as technology companies move in and investors widen their focus from the coasts to fund entrepreneurs in America's Heartland. Author and technology reporter Rebecca A. Fannin will expand upon her new book Silicon Heartland to talk about the drivers behind the reinvention of mid-western cities as thriving tech hubs, and what this means for the U.S. economy. She will discuss the impact of regulatory changes, technology layoffs and China on the outlook for the region. Rebecca A. Fannin is a journalist, author, and media entrepreneur who grew up in the Ohio heartland town of Lancaster. After graduating from Ohio University and working at Dayton's morning newspaper, she left the Appalachian foothills for new horizons in New York City and Silicon Valley, became a contributor for CNBC, and wrote for Forbes and Harvard Business Review, among others. - This briefing is made possible by the Foreign Press Foundation.
