Fierce competition from China and high energy costs are just two of the reasons Germany’s famous industrial machine is sputtering. How did this crisis come to pass, and can Germany adapt in time? youtu.be/IlbPO9Vmuuo?si=q0v7…

🛠No to #PE , yes to #rollup Very few can integrate businesses, build systems, attract exceptional operators, leverage AI, and create an organization that’s worth more than the sum of its parts. A roll up isn’t a strategy. It’s an execution challenge. instagram.com/reel/DZ8o7-SAX…

🚀My first #startup job gave me everything I didn’t know I needed: - Hunger for success (and hunger in general) - Growth mindset (I did 5 roles in 1 job) - Taking money from the rich (lose VC money) #VC #CVC @vc_corner @GCVenturing @Playground_VC

Das ist mein Deutschland. Im beschaulichen Ditzingen habe ich mir heute die herausragenden Produkte von TRUMPF genauer angesehen. Hochleistungslaser, walzen, biegen, sortieren. Enorme Kräfte und chirurgische Präzision. Das ist German Engineering in Reinform für mich. Dann diese besondere Art der Menschen. Kein Unsinn, immer direkt und doch höflich. Man redet hier über Nachhaltigkeit und meint damit das Denken in Generationen. Nicht das nächste Quartal, sondern die nächsten Jahrzehnte. Nicht die schnelle Bewertungsrunde, sondern das Werk, das die eigenen Enkel noch tragen wird. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich am Ende der der EUV MK5. Was TRUMPF gemeinsam mit Zeiss und ASML möglich macht, ist Weltspitze. Ohne diese Partnerschaft gäbe es keine modernen Chips. Und damit kein KI-Zeitalter, wie wir es heute kennen. Drei europäische Unternehmen, die zusammen das Fundament der Digitalisierung legen. Das sollten wir viel lauter erzählen. Mich hat heute vor allem eines mitgenommen: die gelebten Werte. Verlässlichkeit. Bodenständigkeit. Leiser Stolz auf das, was man kann, ohne es über jedes Mikrofon zu hängen. Das ist der Mittelstand, der dieses Land stark gemacht hat. Und es ist der Mittelstand, auf dem wir die nächsten 20 Jahre aufbauen müssen. Ich bin überzeugt: Die großen Chancen der kommenden Dekaden werden wir nur als starke Allianzen heben. Robotics, AI, Energy —> Industrie, Kapital und Unternehmergeist gehören zusammen. Ich will die besten Gründerinnen und Gründer von morgen finden und fördern – finanzielle Renditen verzahnt mit den Werten unseres Mittelstandes. Für Deutschland. Für Europa.

With a population of over 141,000 inhabitants, Bern is smaller than Zurich, Geneva, Basel, and Lausanne. Yet it is considered the capital. Confusing? Here’s why: Switzerland has no constitutional capital. Instead, Bern is officially designated as the “federal city” and serves as the seat of government, a role it has held since 1848, when it was selected as a political compromise. Is the capital of your country the largest city? 👇
