Long-term investments, or CapEx, are an essential part of entrepreneurial activity. However, the framework conditions for investment decisions have rarely been as challenging as they are today. https://lnkd.in/ei8uwF6U On one hand, companies are grappling with significant changes that lead to high investment expenditures – these include technological upheavals or the reorganization of global networks. On the other hand, rising interest rates and weak economic prospects have massively increased the cost of refinancing, making it more difficult to access necessary capital for upcoming investments.   The question of how CapEx can be optimized is therefore becoming critically relevant. The good news is that companies have many options to significantly optimize the use of existing capital goods, reduce or avoid investment requirements and, in many cases, even free up the capital tied up in CapEx.   Dive into our latest series of expert interviews and discover perspectives on long-term investments and outline smart and efficient strategies for the sustainable optimization of CapEx   Stay tuned… More perspectives coming soon!
