Building resilience through data: How Catena-X is shaping the future of automotive supply chains Frank Goeller, head of #digitalstrategy and portfolio management for production and logistics at AUDI AG, is also head of internationalisation at Catena-X, the worldwide initiative to create an open data-sharing network. Goeller spoke to Automotive Logistics about developing global standards for cross-border data exchange to make #manufacturing #logistics processes more efficient and resilient. “Our analysis shows that over one billion data points have to be tracked, recorded and monitored for regulatory requirements up to the year 2030,” he said. “We have checked the different regulations in US, in China, in Japan – all around the world – and that means a really high amount of data tracking requirements by law.” Read the full article now: https://lnkd.in/ejEpYaTs #AutomotiveSupplyChain #Digitalisation #CatenaX #SupplyChainResilience #Sustainability #DataExchange #AutomotiveLogistics #SupplyChainInnovation #SmartLogistics Sina Daubinger Sebastian Schalk Christopher Ludwig Marcus Williams Emily Uwemedimo Anushka Dixit Megan Kelly Riad Mannan Richard Logan

𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗩𝗖 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁-𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲! (at least, that's the hope according to the latest surveys by the German Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (BVK) and KfW Bank). 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹? 🤓 The BVK's German Venture Capital Barometer surveys around 200 members quarterly, covering key metrics that describe the business climate in the German VC landscape, including fundraising, exit options, and more. Start-ups are at the end of the VC funding chain. If VC funds face a capital crunch, Start-ups feel the squeeze too. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 📊 I've graphically analyzed the data since 2019 (see image below) and found: 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸: The pandemic was a shock but also spurred new business models and opportunities. VC sentiment on fundraising and exits was high between 2020 and 2021. However, Start-up entry valuations dropped, possibly due to market pessimism. The deal pipeline remained strong, with robust deal flow quality and quantity. Many Start-ups seized the moment to access VC investments at lower valuations, driven by the pandemic's uncertainty. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮: Many factors contributed to this downturn. Notably, the ECB's incremental interest rate hikes aimed at curbing inflation in Europe (see purple line). Increased energy costs, the war in Ukraine (loss of sales markets), supply chain disruptions, and poor market sentiment likely played roles. These challenges made it tough to raise fresh VC capital and secure attractive exits. A backlog of exits still exists. 𝗔 𝗥𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗤𝟮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: The sentiment indicator improved by 10.6 points to -8.9 balance points. A positive trend is also emerging in fundraising and exit options. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮? 🤔 I hope the situation improves in the coming months and years. Young, dynamic, and innovative Start-ups are crucial for long-term economic growth, as seen in the USA. Have you noticed the negative sentiment as a Start-up? Or the exit congestion as a VC manager? When do you think the situation will turn around? You can find full access to the reports at: https://lnkd.in/eJUt7AeK

Great thoughts on how to balance multiple target dimensions when realigning operations and (re)-building production sites. Nowadays investments and operating costs run beside resilience, ESG, digitization requirements. Finding the synergies to make conflicting targets into self-reinforcing ones needs a holistic approach!

Quite interesting article 🚀🚀🚀. While it discusses identifying targets and optimizing portfolio companies, it’s also important to consider the challenges associated with integrating businesses into existing operations. Cultural fit, retention of key people, comparability of systems and focused value creation activities are further important factors for a successful M&A transaction.

🚀 Exploring Innovation Strategies for Future Markets Curious about #innovationstrategies for markets that don't even exist yet? In our latest publication, Anna Straubinger, Paul Horlacher, and I utilized the example of #urbanairmobility to identify key #decisionfactors vital for successful commercialization in such novel markets. We discovered that existing profiting from innovation frameworks often fall short in providing adequate guidance for such scenarios: A peripheric sphere consisting of #regulation, the #society and #environmental concerns can have a large impact on the success of innovative companies. These factors are hard to influence by the firms, which makes it especially challenging. If you'd like to delve deeper into our findings, please reach out to either of us.

🌍 Yesterday, I attended the BDI Climate Congress, a key event for discussing Germany's industrial transformation. Key findings from the "Transformation Paths" study include: 🇩🇪 Germany is lagging in key industrial indicators. ⚡ 20% of industrial value creation is at risk due to high energy costs. 🌐 Global climate transformation offers €15 trillion in new market opportunities by 2030. 🔄 Germany must reinvent itself as an industrial nation. 📝 A comprehensive industrial policy agenda is needed. 💸 Over €1 trillion in investment required by 2030.   BDI's immediate measures: federal co-financing of grid fees, a new electricity market design, and accelerated planning and approval processes. One personal key learning: the need for a strong and reliable future narrative for Germany and Europe. Let´s write it! #Klimakongress FGS Global BDI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V.

Exciting Developments in the Net Neutrality Debate Yesterday’s #netneutrality decision by the #FCC will surely prompt another wave of research on this topic, which I believe is the right reaction to ensure that the issue continues to be debated on scientific grounds. A recent empirical research article by Wolfgang Dr. Briglauer et al. suggests decreased fiber investments, for example. [Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/d2VBCn7n] Christopher Yoo 's article discusses the nuances of deviations from net neutrality before EU and US laws and compares their interpretations. [Link to the paper: https://lnkd.in/dumJNs9i] I believe the policy debate on this issue is likely to continue by dissecting and addressing the welfare implications of nuanced applications of deviations from net neutrality, such as throttling and paid prioritization. For more insights, here are my previous posts on the issue. https://lnkd.in/dHiaGvCP https://lnkd.in/dWXHgk8W #netneutrality #regulation #fcc #publicpolicy #antitrust  #telecomm #internetserviceprovider #contentprovider #streaming #LinkedInDiscussion #telecom

Is the digital twin the key technology for more resilience in logistics?   Although the use of digital twins in the field of logistics is still in its infancy, there are already pioneering projects that demonstrate the potential of this technology:   #supplychainnow #digitaltwin #resilience https://lnkd.in/ep9EYnGN
