In this episode of Radar by nexxworks, Steven, Peter, and Pascal tackle some of the most pressing topics in tech and business today.

We explore TEMU’s meteoric rise, with over 600 million app downloads and 2 million packages shipped daily. While its disruptive e-commerce model is reshaping the market, it raises serious ethical concerns about low-cost production and global supply chains.

Next, we discuss the growing energy crisis sparked by AI’s massive power demands. Companies like Microsoft are considering reactivating dormant nuclear plants to power their data centers. We also explore AI in military applications, with innovations like AI-powered drones transforming modern warfare.

Finally, we share the incredible story of Eleven Madison Park, the only restaurant to leap from one to three Michelin stars in just two years (2010–2012). Their success wasn’t driven by food innovation, but by their focus on unreasonable hospitality.

We’ve introduced the Radar Rating, where we evaluate top restaurants and hotels based purely on customer service. Now, we want to hear from you! Which restaurants or hotels excel in customer service? Share your favorites on LinkedIn!
