Smart irrigation systems can save valuable resources such as water on farms. 🚜💧 But what if the farm is in a remote area and needs an internet connection to receive weather updates, for example? That’s when #eSIM technology makes a real difference. As a global #SecurityTech leader, G+D enables secure and flexible connectivity for billions of devices – including smart farming tools, logistics trackers, and industrial machines. From factory to field, eSIMs simplify connectivity, reduce manual effort, and make it easier to manage devices across borders and networks. Whether it’s switching mobile operators, connecting to private #5G, or reducing hardware complexity – eSIMs are built for the demands of modern IoT. Our visual below breaks down how each feature works and why it matters. Simply put: eSIMs are a smarter way to connect the world. With our solutions, enterprises gain efficiency, security, and the freedom to choose the best connectivity – anytime, anywhere.

Europe’s financial sector is on the edge of #transformation. By the end of 2025, the EU will launch the Financial Data Access (FiDA) regulation – requiring banks to share far more than just #payment data. #Savings, #loans, #pensions, #insurance, and even #crypto will soon flow into a single, open data ecosystem. For banks, this is a clear call to act: 💡 Turn compliance into growth – unlock new business models 🔐 Build trust – use permission dashboards to boost loyalty 📈 Stay ahead – fintechs and new entrants are raising the bar 🧩 Offer more – deliver tailored, integrated services With a phased rollout from 2027 to 2029, now is the time for banks to take strategic action – and turn regulatory pressure into real #OpenFinance opportunity.

The future belongs to those who shape it! 💡 That’s why we’re proud to support the #DigitalFutureChallenge 2025/26. It combines practical experience, responsibility, and #innovation – giving students the opportunity to turn their ideas into real solutions. This kind of support is essential if we want to ensure long-term digital sovereignty. Especially in a time when #robotics and #AI agents are increasingly shaping our everyday lives, it’s more important than ever to empower young people to help define how these technologies serve humanity. For us, it means creating real opportunities for young talent to grow – and working together to build a digital future founded on trust, competence, and responsibility.

From #Munich to #Johannesburg – and one unforgettable moment in the wild. 🌍🛫🐆 Imagine sitting in a safari jeep just one meter away from a leopard. For Theresa Stadlmayer, Compliance Manager, this was a powerful reminder of how much your perspective shifts when you’re truly in the middle of something. Theresa spent six months in Johannesburg as part of G+D’s Development Assignment Programme, supporting the #Legal, #Compliance and #DataPrivacy team. What she found: ✔️ Smaller teams and faster decision-making ✔️ Closer collaboration with sales ✔️ And 165 employees engaged in #training, built on trust and open dialogue Beyond work, she embraced South Africa’s vibrant culture and stunning landscapes. But the leopard? That moment stuck: humbling, awe-inspiring and a perfect metaphor for learning outside your comfort zone. Her verdict? “A complete success.” The experience expanded her global mindset, intercultural awareness, and professional network – and showed what #PeopleDevelopment looks like at G+D.

#CBDC or instant payment system (IPS)? Here’s why central banks do not have to choose. 💡 #FinancialInclusion. Sovereignty. Innovation. Stability. Retail CBDCs and instant payment systems often get framed as either-or. But in reality, they’re designed to serve different – and highly complementary – roles in the monetary and financial systems. 💬 As Dr. Abbas Albasha, Senior Strategy Consultant at G+D, puts it: “Even the most advanced IPS ultimately rely on electricity, internet, and telecom connectivity. If any of these infrastructures fail, the entire payment ecosystem could be significantly disrupted.” That’s where CBDCs come in. They offer: 🔒 Offline functionality for greater resilience ⚖️ Direct, inclusive access to public money  ⚙️ Versatile programmable payments via digital wallets 🧱 A monetary anchor in increasingly digital economies The message is clear: smartly designed CBDC and IPS can mutually enhance and future-proof monetary and financial systems for the challenges ahead. 🎧 In our latest Spotlight article, G+D digital currency experts break down how IPS and CBDC can co-exist and complement one another, not compete.

A #PaymentCard designed to outsmart #fraud. 💳🧠 In online transactions, static data leaves an open door for exploitation. That’s why we reimagined the #CVV on payment cards. With Convego SecureCode, an LCD screen displays a dynamic CVV that refreshes on demand or after each transaction. The result: maximum security without slowing down the customer experience. Issuers benefit from: ➕ A built-in security layer at card level ➕ A premium product that attracts tech-savvy customers ➕ Reduced costs through fewer replacements Discover how G+D #innovation is setting new standards in #CardSecurity: 👉 https://lnkd.in/d9aw-wwR

The next evolution of IoT #connectivity is here 🔜 The #IoT sector has been growing remarkably, unlocking vast potential for innovation and scalability. Now, another groundbreaking development is about to reshape the way we connect devices: the new GSMA #SGP32 standard. Expected for commercial deployment by the end of this year, it enables remote loading, activation, and management of eSIMs in IoT devices. The result? Greater efficiency and far more flexible connectivity management across the device lifecycle. 💡 Watch Sören Haubold in conversation with Steffen Sorrell from Kaleido Intelligence to explore what this means for businesses across #IoT industries – and where they see the biggest opportunities.

Threat or opportunity? Here’s how software developers really feel about AI. 🤔 You might think they’d be the first to see #AI as a competitor. But a study we participated in paints a different picture: instead of skepticism, the prevailing mood is one of cautious optimism. The study, conducted jointly by the Technische Universität München, the European initiative appliedAI Institute for Europe gGmbH, the developer industry body WeAreDevelopers, G+D Netcetera, and us, delivered clear results: 📊 85.7% of developers surveyed expressed a high interest in AI tools, and 76.3% of companies reported increased #productivity since integrating AI. However, it’s about more than just efficiency. The goal is to augment human capabilities: #AI improves software quality, frees up developers for more creative and strategic tasks, and opens up new career paths. 💡 However, alongside the opportunities, there are challenges. Nearly 61% of respondents see #DataPrivacy as the biggest concern, while issues like “Shadow AI” create new risks for companies. 📖 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/djBhN4Rv
