Germany as a business location has gone from a star to a problem child: little to little growth, poor placements in location rankings, a lack of investment, and high corporate tax rates compared to international standards. The Growth Opportunities Act, which was passed after a long discussion, creates incentives for additional investments. A (small) step in the right direction. But is 3.2 billion euros enough to put the business location on a solid foundation in the long term? Which economic policy reforms need to be addressed? Please have a look on the IMD competitiveness ranking: https://lnkd.in/gu2EXXTK

Predictions are already tough and will get tougher. For sure there will be more extreme weather, be it acute (extreme events) or cumulative (long periods of rain or drought). But saying that we had not seen it coming is just a proof of ignorance. Time to really wake up and act! There is a lot of action going on already. Let’s support that, but also push the political agenda to act. C-biotech Earth Plus

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Purpose is the Pitch (PIP) from Berlin. PIP is incredibly multifaceted and profound, which led to unusually deep questions in this interview. As a result, we delved intensively into many topics that are important to both of us: Healthy Business Growth through Advisory Boards/Supervisory Boards • The crucial role that advisory boards play in driving the success of startups and scale-ups.  • The potential of advisory boards in growth companies. Women in Business • The specific challenges and opportunities that women experience in the male-dominated software industry.  • The essential qualities women need to develop to succeed as entrepreneurs.  • The significant impact of female leadership on building a successful company.  • Effective strategies to overcome obstacles and turn setbacks into successes. Success Factors of a Growth Company • How to strategically develop a company while simultaneously minimizing burn rates.  • The importance of nurturing a unique company culture, developing personal skills, managing crises effectively, and setting achievable future goals. This interview provided deep insights not only into the tactical aspects of business life but also into my personal journey of growth and resilience. It was indeed an unusual conversation thanks to the many facets of PIP as an interviewer. 🎧 Listen to the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/efiKhp6i I look forward to your feedback! #FemaleLeadership #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #CrisisManagement #CompanyCulture #Innovation

EU election: Die Linke wants to make real estate impossible as an investment “Apartments are people’s homes, not investments,” says Die Linke on their website. In its EU election manifesto, Die Linke states that it wants to campaign for the abolition of tax advantages for real estate, a ban on index rental agreements and restrictions on real estate funds. They also want to forcibly expropriate real estate companies that own more than 3,000 apartments. In all seriousness, I ask myself where this is supposed to be democracy? They want to take their property away from those who have worked hard to earn it. They want to prevent middle-class people from achieving financial freedom in their fifties. They want everyone to feel equally bad. What do you think about it? Source 1: https://lnkd.in/e5HTuxCq Source 2: https://lnkd.in/ehSUqmtU #euelection #europe #germany

Hoping for cheaper housing in Switzerland? Developing in #switzerland has many positives but one major negative - frequent objections. The system today makes it beneficial for a person or organizations objecting. If they lose, they face no to minimal financial cost. The owner face a guaranteed financial loss and years of potential delay irrespective of a win or loss. This has created a system prone to misuse. One way of improving this is for the losing party to carry the financial loss of the winning party. This would level the playing field, weed out bad actors and reduce cost. What do you think? Are there other better ways incentivizing fair play? https://lnkd.in/dMRMKqnT

I would like to share a few insights into one of our ongoing projects at Institut für Hochbau, Holzbau und kreislaufgerechtes Bauen (IHB), BOKU University , presented by the head of our institute Benjamin Kromoser on YouTube by "DIE FESTMACHER" (by fischer group). Discover how theory can be translated into practice, contributing to environmental protection. The project demonstrates that smart construction processes, the use of available resources and the use of sustainable materials can effectively reduce ecological footprints. 🎥 Watch the full video to learn more about our research!

Translation Three and a half weeks to go. I have mixed feelings about the #EuropeanElections on June 9th. I fear the importance of this election is completely underestimated. Frustration over the often erratic EU policy has led many to not want to vote at all. Or, if they do, to give their vote to fun or protest parties, according to the motto: It doesn't matter anyway. No, it doesn't! These European elections are crucial for our future. Whether you like it or not: Most of the laws that determine our lives, our economy, our foreign policy are decided in Brussels. It is important who represents us there. It is dangerous if the wrong people represent us there. There are parties that formulate the goal of abolishing the European Union and Parliament in their program. In other words: Germany out of Europe, after Brexit we now do #Dexit. What madness. Brexit has reduced Britain's economic output by 6 percent per year, which corresponds to 162 billion euros, and it will continue to go downhill. And now are we seriously offering Dexit as a vision of the future? It would be a catastrophe, destroying prosperity and jobs on an even larger scale (the German Economic Institute predicts a loss of up to 500 billion annually). Isolation would also seriously damage the coexistence achieved in Europe over decades. To be clear: I am not happy with some of the decisions being made in Brussels either. The small-scale regulations that want to dictate the size of the tanks of toilets, the complex subsidy projects that certainly do not help to unleash the economy - I think all of this is wrong. Despite all the criticism, what we must not forget are the fundamental achievements that we also owe to the EU: In Germany and Europe, we live in a free and democratic basic order. We have a sustainable social #market economy. Maintaining all of this means work, debate, and it requires foresight as well as attention to detail. The countless compromises that have been hard-won at the European level form the basis of our economic life. These are achievements that are wrongly not recognized. That's why I hope that as many people as possible go to the polls and vote for parties that care about #freedom and the well-being of us all. That make constructive efforts for #Europe. We need Europe, Europe needs us. Especially on June 9th.

Calculation is now possible. According to #JensenHuang's example of #augmentedclimateforecast in his presentation on June 02 in Taipei. However, the #resilience and #countermeasures of towns, residents, and the whole surroundings, are not ready yet. Attached is Jensen Huang's famous presentation，he has managed to motivate whole taiwanese IT manufacturers and engineers to follow the #AI=GPU+CPU. However, that did not change the fact that current AI is based on #Statistics, and yet, more and more shows #Random is the right track. https://lnkd.in/gzUaGuaw

The Earth is our greatest wealth. "This Land is Our Company." Nilson da Nóbrega  Real estate and land are synonymous. Thus, understanding the intrinsic magnitude of the soil beneath our feet comes the understanding that the real value of the earth transcends its mere possession. When we talk about real estate, we talk about a universe where every inch of land has a story to tell, a potential to unlock. It is in this panorama that true visionaries stand out; those who can look beyond what is apparent and see the genesis of entire cities where others see only clay and stone. With this insight, these titans of the earth shape the future, erecting towers of glass and steel on foundations once thought banal. Shrewd investors are constantly looking for the jewels not yet discovered by the general public - that plot forgotten by time, that plot of land passed over by less discerning eyes. These are the grounds that are patiently waiting for someone with the right vision to transform them into epicenters of commerce and housing. Knowing the laws of the real estate market and anticipating future trends, the true real estate master evaluates not only the land in its current state, but also its projected urban development, its affordability and, crucially, its potential for appreciation. And on these journeys we meet true friends. Growing Together. Fighting together. Building Together. Overcoming and Overcoming Challenges Together. Building bridges together.

Must see for all those that understand German language and still believe nuclear energy is the way forward …… spoiler it is not…. super explanation in 1 minute Disregarding the not unimportant waste issue: UK Hinkley proves it is the most costly source of energy, the difference will be paid by UK government. The real solution lies in a well planned and coordinated transition that combines energy efficiency, smart balancing and storage, renewable energy and gas/ biomass combined with CCS.
