HELLO AND WELCOME to October ’ s edition of Business Review Europe . Although the summer holiday season has drawn to a close , the aviation industry continues to work round the clock to get business travellers to and from appointments all over the world . Our lead profile VistaJet is no exception . We speak to Chief Information Officer Pedro Nassif about how the private carrier is investing in technology to provide a seamless service to its passengers .

We also explore the cashless society in our interview with Robert Reeg at MasterCard , who discusses the company ’ s latest developments in mobile wallets and biometric security techniques .

Our strong technology focus continues at the start of the magazine in our front of book features . First up is Ericsson and the rise of 5G , the network for industries – why is it a game changer and how can businesses benefit ? After this you will find a Q & A with Vodafone on smart sports stadia , notably the Vodafone Arena , home of football team Besiktas in Turkey and template for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar .

Finally , in a time that is witnessing ever more extreme weather patterns , we ask what businesses can do to safeguard against the extremes .

I hope you enjoy the read . As ever , join the debate @ BizReviewEurope
