Pushing back boundaries

Thales-RO-03

Thales Romania is at the heart of a breakthrough scientific project which promises to open up knowledge about the universe through ultra-powerful lasers. Thales is providing ELI-NP (Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics) center in Magurele, Bucharest with the most powerful laser in the world which experts expect to push back the frontiers of physics and to open up a magic box of countless breakthroughs in many fields, from revolutionary cancer treatments to nuclear waste disposal.

Professor Nicolae Zamfir, coordinator of the project (right in the photo below), has worked closely with Silviu Agapi (middle), Thales General Manager in Romania, to make sure that all details of the pioneering laser system are being implemented. They both share with the world this amazing journey together.

Is Romania a SHE country? A debate initiated by Chain IQ Company

Chain IQ - through its Founder and Chairman, Swiss entrepreneur Claudio Cisullo – entrusted Links Associates to get together 30 of the most representative and successful women in business, civil society and political life in Romania. The event was, in fact, a celebration of their role in everyday life. The evening focused on the need for modern policies to support gender equality, as well as the world’s trends and challenges for professional women and business leaders. Claudio Cisullo confessed that 60% of his employees are women and his success is built on feminine intuition and sensibility, which he considers being the backbone of life.

Thales participated at InnoTrans 2018 exhibition in Berlin with a revolutionary booth allowing visitors to imagine what the future looks like and to actually be part of it.

Pepper, the robot, was awarded the most popular host, charismatically introducing Lite4ce, the new fibre optical technology which enables sensors on the rail to safely detect a variety of parameters, such as quality of the wheels, the speed and weight of vehicles as well as the number of passengers in each wagon.
Thales Group, No. 1 worldwide in driverless metro signalling and No. 1 worldwide in communication systems for rail networks, has embarked on digitalizing railway transportation, paving the way for autonomous railway operations. With the autonomous trains, Thales gives eyes to trains – advanced sensors that give the train a full perception of its environment. And then, Thales combines it with artificial intelligence – the train’s brain – to allow them to run on the network in full autonomy.

Supporting Europe for Creators

Links Associates was engaged as part of a major European effort to implement the communication and government relations strategy of the European Author’s Societies (GESAC) for Romania. The campaign was designed to convince members of the EU Parliament and the public opinion of the need to reform the copyright laws. The key point of the campaign was identifying influencers that would promote the message. Our team worked with people from diverse backgrounds – artists, IT specialists, journalists – visible and followed in the mainstream media, online and offline. Together we spread the message on TV, on radio, in the newspapers and on social media. The final vote held on September 12th, 2018 was a testament to the successful nature of this campaign.

Telling Fincantieri’s story in Romania

You have to see in order to believe. To see what it means to build a ship ready for a memorable cruise or a ship ready to defend us when needed. That’s why we went to visit Fincantieri’s shipyards in Italy and, of course, in Romania – in Braila and Tulcea.

Four shipyards, four great experiences for a group of journalists interested and curious to see “how is made”. In Italy they were speechless when arriving right under the hull of a frigate that was under construction in Riva Trigoso shipyard. In Muggiano shipyard, we witnessed together the launching ceremony of the LSS Vulcano, an impressive military ship built for the Italian Navy.

In Romania, we were proud to see two shipyards working at full capacity. Fincantieri owns Vard Tulcea and Vard Braila where various kinds of vessels are built, cruise and expedition ships included.

We looked astonished how the Goliath crane can move around huge ship sections – carefully and with maximum precision. This crane is the giant of the yard keeping an eye on everything and everybody. The name says it all: it’s Goliath!

Every smile counts!

There’s no argue that smiling is an important part of our everyday life and that it has the magnificent power to instantly generate more positive emotions around us. That’s why we often feel happier around children - because they smile a lot. But children’s smile is also the most vulnerable. Orbit understood the importance of smiles for a happy childhood and decided to make the kids smile more.

So this year we helped Orbit to help the children from SOS Children’s Village Romania. A healthy smile is the first important step to self-confidence. This was the message we spread around together with Orbit.
