The next chapter of Made in Germany begins with #DeepTech. Yesterday in Berlin, we presented our new #BCG study together with the BDI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V. on how Germany can secure a leading position in future technologies and boost its competitiveness. The message is clear: the future doesn’t wait. It starts now. Our study shows the immense scale of the opportunity: By 2030, Deep Tech could create €8 trillion in value worldwide. Yet less than 10% of global Deep Tech unicorns are European today, and around half of late-stage funding comes from outside the EU. We need to take huge steps in order to keep up with the US and China in this highly competitive race. As BDI President Peter Leibinger said: it is time for Germany to move from “play not to lose” to “play to win.” Building on our industrial strength, we can reinvent Made in Germany with AI, robotics, quantum and biotech. 🎥 Watch some highlights from our press event in Berlin. 🔗 Find the full study here (in German only): https://lnkd.in/eRTWypwR #Innovation #FutureOfIndustry #TechnologyLeadership Jonas Hiltrop Thomas Koenen, Dr.

💪 “Good Leadership”💪 ESB Business School brings the Leadership Talent Academy to Reutlingen 🎓 Starting in the winter semester of 2025, the ESB Business School at Reutlingen University will host the Leadership Talent Academy (LTA) of the Karl Schlecht Stiftung (KSG). This scholarship programme aims to develop young people into responsible leaders who embody not only professional expertise but also ethical and humanistic values. 🙌 The programme specifically supports MBA students, participants in the part-time programmes at the Knowledge Foundation, as well as young alumni of the ESB Business School. Thanks to their professional experience, they can directly apply the content in practice. ✨ “With the Leadership Talent Academy, we are creating an additional offer that prepares our students for responsible leadership roles and enables them to grow beyond their academic knowledge,” emphasises Professor Markus Conrads, Dean of the ESB Business School. “We are delighted to bring this programme to Reutlingen together with the Karl Schlecht Foundation.” 🌍 The Karl Schlecht Foundation already cooperates through the LTA with the University of Tübingen, UnternehmerTUM, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and Campus Founders in Heilbronn. While other locations, for example, emphasise a start-up or entrepreneurial focus, ESB Business School sets its sights on strengthening the region and medium-sized enterprises. 🏢 One example is the module “Leadership of Family Businesses,” which raises awareness among students about succession planning and leading small and medium-sized companies. It is complemented by the module “Leadership in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” which addresses the opportunities and challenges of new technologies in leadership processes. For this, ESB Business School collaborates with experts from the Cyber Valley Community, Europe’s leading centre of excellence in artificial intelligence and modern robotics.

Yesterday, Dr. Korinna Kunde and 🌱🌎 Florian Hildebrand accepted the official grant notice of approval from minister Mona Neubaur - confirming multi-million euro public funding co-financed by the Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Industrie, Klimaschutz und Energie des Landes NRW and  EFRE/JTF in NRW by the European Union through the Produktives.NRW program.

NRW shows that collaboration between these stakeholders can lead to big success and create actual value, both economically and ecologically.” Thank you to everyone who made this project and funding program possible. 💚 Stay tuned for the next updates! 🔗 Check out the link in the comments to find out more about the project.

🚀 AI Startup Landscape Hesse 2025 is live! Today, the new edition of the AI Startup Landscape Hesse was published – a project by hessian.AI, with special support of the appliedAI Institute for Europe gGmbH, and many ecosystem partners. The landscape provides a comprehensive overview of Hesse’s AI startup scene and shows just how dynamic and diverse the ecosystem has become in recent years. 🔎 Key Findings 2025 at a Glance: 📈 237 AI startups 🧑‍💻 70% founded in the past 5 years – young & dynamic 💶 €410M raised in total funding 🎓 40% rooted in universities (esp. TU Darmstadt, Goethe University Frankfurt, University of Kassel) ⚠️ Challenges: bureaucracy, access to capital, slow corporate decision-making 💡 Strengths: proximity to universities, strong funding landscape & a vibrant community 👉 Unlike the #GermanAIStartupLandscape, which focuses on a very selective, tech-deep sample, the Hessian Landscape highlights the entire ecosystem – from early-stage ideas to market entry. Our goal: make AI startups visible, strengthen young companies, and support growth and innovation in Hesse. 📊 ✨ Want more insights? Highlights from both the AI Startup Landscape Hesse 2025 and the German AI Startup Landscape 2025 will be presented tonight at AI Landscapes – Rising Startups in Hesse.
