Smart Region Makes Life Easier Through Modern Technology

REGION “Smart Region” Makes Life Easier Through Modern Technology Jakub Unucka, MBA, businessman, and IT manager, studied mechanical engineering. His professional career is connected with computer technology. He is, for example, the founder of the international research laboratory RFID technologies.
