The latest Next Generation report by Startup-Verband and startupdetector indicates a positive trend in startup formation. During the first half of 2024, Germany experienced a 15% increase in new start-ups, suggesting an overall trend reversal. The software sector is especially booming – one in five new startups are in this field, more than ever before! Increasing digitalization, the high demand for innovative software and the use of artificial intelligence in particular are driving this development. Start-ups in this area are developing new solutions that enable productivity increases and efficiency gains. We are excited to offer these young, innovative companies a supported platform at transport logistic exhibitions in Munich 2025. At the Young Innovators Joint Stand, they can showcase their solutions and make valuable connection, all while being funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). Find out whether your start-up fits the criteria to receive funding, to participate in the next transport logistic: https://lnkd.in/e8T34uzh #YoungInnovators #logistics #StartUp #transportlogistic #BMWK

**Reflections on the MyWay Strategy Summit for Family Businesses in Berlin** I had the opportunity to attend the second MyWay summit in Berlin, a two-day event dedicated to the future of family businesses. Accompanied by my colleague Florian Österle, we found ourselves in a number of enriching conversations. However, many of the presentations were tainted by what I can only describe as excessive pessimism—something I find quite typical in these settings. **Key Themes:** - 🌈 The summit was colorful, diverse, and future-focused, with plenty of exciting ideas and forward-looking discussions. - 🏭 Many attendees represented major industrial companies from Southern Germany and the Ruhr area, adding weight to the dialogue. - 🚨 Concerns about Germany’s competitiveness were front and center, focusing on education, migration, integration, and *Enkelfähigkeit* (sustainability for future generations). - 📱 Digitalization took the spotlight, while sustainability was largely framed by concerns over overwhelming regulation. - 😔 Despite the innovative content, there was a lot of defeatism – a very German trait. The motto of the event, *“Zukunft kommt von Zuversicht”*, reflects this mindset. *Zuversicht*, for me, lacks the curiosity, excitement, and playfulness that should come with looking towards the future. Historically, progress has been continuous, but the German interpretation of *Zuversicht* feels more like resigned hope, burdened by nostalgia and a fear that the best days are behind us. **What’s Missing:** This summit showed that while we recognize the challenges, we often overlook our capacity to solve them. A more forward-looking, optimistic mindset would be refreshing—and perhaps more involvement from startups could inject that much-needed “can-do” attitude 💡💪🚀 #MyWay2024 #FamilyBusiness #Innovation #Digitalization #Zukunft #Sustainability #Leadership #CanDo #Zuversicht #BusinessSummit #Startups

Start-ups in Europe: a light at the end of the tunnel - finally!    This article by Nadine Schimroszik in Handelsblatt gives reason for hope for the tech ecosystem, as it summarises a development that has been tentatively emerging for some time: The number of new #start-ups in Germany is growing again, by 17 per cent, as shown by a comparison of the first quarter of 2024 with the same quarter of the previous year.   💡It is particularly interesting to see that most investments are being made in AI. An unmistakable sign that they continue to be a driver of innovation for the German startup ecosystem.   We recently came to a similar conclusion with my team, as part of our analysis of the German startup landscape. Our conclusion: more and more funding are being mobilised for ♻️ #Greentech business ideas that are based on AI-based technologies and have a positive impact on our planet.

 🔹 The pivotal moments in my entrepreneurial journey 🔹 Insights on building and scaling startups  🔹 Behind-the-scenes stories from MVP Factory projects  🔹 How joining Ness Digital Engineering enables us to drive more innovation A big thank you to Max for the invitation, the great conversation, and your patience (it took us a while to find an appointment).

"As a VC for 20 years, here's a confession: I should have trusted my gut more often." Something that Rainer Märkle, General Partner at HV Capital. Shared with us at EUVC We all know VCs are supposed to be data-driven guided. We're trained to believe perfect analysis leads to perfect investment decisions. But sometimes, your gut feeling is your best friend. As a highly analytical person, Rainer has learned this valuable lesson. Intuition matters. Yes, due diligence is essential. However, take a break and look from a different perspective. Experience tells you when to trust your instincts. How do you balance data-driven analysis with intuition? Share your experiences in the comments! #venturecapital #angelinvesting #startupfunding #europe

This newest post by Wolfgang zu Putlitz poses the final question in our series focused on the culture of a learning organization. Certainly success in any business requires an investment in the people that make it work. This is where a structured program that teaches and measures success is a critical tool toward assuring that all associates are following the same 'north star'. When done properly, the real measure of success will be found in delighting customers beyond their expectations. Are you confident that all your employees are, in fact, turning your customers into promoters of your brand? If not, you may wish to discuss this further with Wolfgang and the team at Levelcoaching. I hope you have found this Q&A dialogue series between Wolfgang and myself intersting and helpful. --- Jim Inglis

MHP – A Porsche Company has been ranked as one of the top 15 most resilient companies in Germany by the 2024 SZ Institut ranking.

How can business leaders effectively manage their organisation's relentless disruption and uncertainty? How can they confidently navigate the risks, challenges, and trends? What about their decision-making processes, growth and future, leadership trust and alignment, and stakeholder expectations? How can they be at their best if everything rests on them alone or on a small group of team members they lead? Even those with a board are not immune to the complexity and challenges of the complex marketplace, as outlined in the findings by IMD and Roy Hitchman. With its fiduciary responsibility for investors and key stakeholders, the board faces even more daunting challenges in this challenging period. In recent times, many companies and global and regional leaders have been hard hit by how they are adapting and confronting the changing market. They are under the constant 24/7 radar and expectations are relentless. What about those not privy to a board, advisory team, or a strategic council to help them in their decisions, growth, strategy, and vision? One cannot imagine a fast-changing environment in which business leaders and investors still think of leading and managing businesses under the old thinking and structure where everything depends entirely on them alone or from their simple and small leadership team. Their decisions and successes are left to chances, timing, and market volatility. Business leaders may be doing well in stable and good economic times, but how are they faring in the face of rapid market changes and disruptive forces? The rise of AI, consumerism, climate concerns, deglobalization, regional protectionism, consumer shifts, and digital marketing is reshaping the business landscape. How can leaders adapt to this new era and navigate the confusion and disruption? Who is helping them to make better decisions or strategise clearly or know what and where they should be working on more to help put the organization in the proper growth trajectory? In these volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) times, business leaders need to seek advice, strategise, and plan for the future ever more regularly and rigorously, and one where they can adapt to the changing landscape. Recently, we've witnessed the emergence of advisory boards, strategic councils, business scaling coaching, and peer advisory groups as key resources for businesses to fall back on. These entities play a crucial role in not only guiding but also supporting the leadership team through the complexities of the current business landscape, offering valuable insights and strategies for moving forward. In today's environment, business leaders cannot just be busy in the business but also know how to be more effective and who they should counsel more often than before to help them lead more effectively. Who are you reaching out to for help? Do you have an active board? Do you have an advisory, strategic council, or a coach to help and guide you?
