Allwyn, a leading multi-national lottery operator, announced its inaugural partnership with the Peace Race (Zavod Miru), a prestigious Under 23’s cycling tour, including teams from more than twenty countries, taking place in the Czech Republic.

Allwyn, as general partner, will bring its international presence and resources to support the tour’s international expansion, accelerating its progress and changing more lives for the better.

The Peace Race has a longstanding history as one of the world’s most inclusive and prestigious cycling tours. Founded in 1948, it was originally designed to promote peaceful cooperation within Central Europe in the wake of World War II and help ease Cold War tensions. Today, 75 years later and against the backdrop of the ongoing war in Ukraine, promoting peace and cooperation is vital in Europe and beyond.

The race is a global competition, focussed on the Under 23’s category, enabling the next generation of elite cyclists to reach their full potential. The race is part of the Nations Cup, the highest category in the world for riders up to the age of 23, and is a serious test of endurance, taking place over four days in the Jeseníky mountains.

Many of those who take part in the Peace Race go on to compete at the highest level of international cycling. In the past, Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar from Slovenia, two-time world champion Julian Alaphilippe from France and recent Giro stage winner Filippo Zana from Italy have taken part in the event. The Peace Race this year is taking place from June 8 to 11.

Pavel Turek, Allwyn’s Chief Global Brand, Corporate Communication and CSR Officer, said: “We, at Allwyn, are looking forward to watching the events of this year’s Peace Race unfold. This is an extraordinary event taking place in the beautiful Jeseníky mountains with 22 national teams participating from around the world. The race has a rich history and is rightfully regarded as one of the most inclusive and prestigious cycling tours in the world.

“As with other stages in the Nations Cup, it fosters the best emerging talent in cycling and affords many the opportunity to showcase their skills and pursue their dreams. What sets the Peace Race apart, however, is the competition’s legacy of goodwill and cooperation, and we believe in its power to inspire and transform lives. We are excited to be a part of this tradition.”

Leopold König, Race Director of the Peace Race, said: “Every year we see talented young competitors race here, who will soon find a place on the World Tour. Individual national teams send their best cyclists to the Peace Race. They are often on the rosters of teams from the elite division or belong under the wings of pro-continental teams. And everyone regularly praises the fact that the Jeseníky Mountains reveal the strengths of all riders. Without exaggeration, we can say that it is a race comparable to those somewhere in the Pyrenees or the Alps.”

NOVOMATIC builds the Group’s largest photovoltaic system in Lower Austria

NOVOMATIC has underscored its clear commitment to sustainability by installing the Group’s largest photovoltaic system. More than 4,600 solar panels have been installed on the roof of the headquarters in Lower Austria, covering a total area of 20,000 m2 and ceremoniously commissioned in the presence of Lower Austrian Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner, NOVOMATIC’s Executive Board and the mayor of Gumpoldskirchen, Ferdinand Köck.

The PV system, with a size equivalent to three football pitches, will produce around two million kilowatt-hours of electricity every year, thereby enabling the company to meet a substantial portion of this location’s annual energy needs. In addition to being used in the offices and production facilities, this green electricity will also find its way into the company’s dedicated charging stations for its fleet of e-vehicles. It is a similar situation with international subsidiaries in countries such as Germany, Italy, Spain, Romania, North Macedonia, Bosnia, Poland, South Africa and Australia, which are already meeting substantial portions of their electricity needs from dedicated PV systems.

State Governor of Lower Austria, Johanna Mikl-Leitner, emphasizes “Lower Austria is a pioneer in efforts to develop the use of wind energy and photovoltaics. Half of all the wind power produced in Austria and a quarter of all the country’s photovoltaic electricity already comes from Lower Austria today. We can do this because many companies do their bit to ensure the green and sustainable future of the state’s economic engine, investing in the development of renewable energy sources. Thank you for this investment and the trust placed in the economic hub that is Lower Austria.”

“The completion of the Group’s largest photovoltaic plant is not just a key milestone in the sustainability strategy of NOVOMATIC AG, but it also means we have sent a clear signal of our intentions to foster a strong and efficient energy future. After all, it is only by taking responsibility that business success can be guaranteed in the long term,” says the Executive Board of the NOVOMATIC AG Group.

Installing the new PV system on already built-up areas helps NOVOMATIC to consistently reduce its carbon footprint, and enabling it now to save more than 1,100 tons of CO2 emissions every year, the equivalent of 90,500 trees compensating for CO2. The concept of “Going Green” is firmly anchored in the company’s comprehensive ESG program as Europe’s leading gaming technology group. In addition to its work­­ to expand the use of photovoltaics across the Group, the company is also focusing its attention on monitoring resources and expanding e-mobility, all with a view to permanently cutting international CO2 emissions.
