We recently had the opportunity to visit UnternehmerTUM at Munich Urban Colab and learn about their first-class innovation ecosystem, activities, and international programmes to help #startups grow and succeed. 🚀 A joint initiative by unternehmerTUM and the City of Munich, the state-of-the-art incubation and innovation space is home to tech giants like Infineon Technologies, SAP, and Siemens, and provides an ideal environment for disruptive start-up ventures to develop sustainable and scalable solutions for the city of tomorrow. 🥇 With notable success stories like Celonis and Flix, it is only fitting that unternehmerTUM was named “Europe’s Leading Start-up Hub” in 2024 by the Financial Times from a list of 125 initiatives in 21 countries, and based on the categories of infrastructure, mentoring & training, legal and business development support, as well as networking and financing opportunities. Many thanks to Felicitas Deiler for the insightful tour – we look forward to further exploring potential synergies between the innovation ecosystems of Munich and Hong Kong! #GICHK #PartnerForInnovation #Munich #HongKong #innovation #ecosystem

Nach erfolgreichem Wochenstart in Frankfurt stand am Dienstag bei der IHK Pfalz in Kaiserslautern das Thema #KünstlicheIntelligenz im Fokus. 💡 In einem spannenden Expertengespräch diskutierte Hannes Farlock, Delegierter der Deutschen Wirtschaft in Hongkong, mit Stefan Bredohl vom German Consulate General Hong Kong, Prof. Dr. Andreas Dengel vom Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI), Anne Loos und Toni Drescher vom INC Innovation Center & Hong Kong Industrial Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Centre (FLAIR) und Rafael Pekmezovic, IHK Pfalz International, über den aktuellen Stand in der Forschung, die Wissenschafts- und Innovationsstandorte Deutschland und Hongkong, praktische Anwendungsbeispiele von KI in der Industrie, sowie mögliche Synergien und Risiken im Hinblick auf internationale F&E-Kooperationen. ❗❗ Ein Aspekt, der besonders betont wurde: vielen Menschen fehlt noch immer ein grundlegendes Verständnis über die Potenziale und Grenzen der künstlichen Intelligenz und ihre unmittelbaren Auswirkungen auf die zukünftige Arbeitswelt – das muss sich schnell ändern. Wir bedanken uns bei allen Teilnehmenden für die wertvollen Einblicke. 🗜️ Im Anschluss hatten wir die Möglichkeit, einen exklusiven Blick hinter die Kulissen von Wipotec zu werfen. Das mittelständische Unternehmen ist Weltmarktführer in der Entwicklung kundenspezifischer Wägetechnik und Inspektionslösungen und mit über 800 Angestellten einer der größten Arbeitgeber am Standort Kaiserslautern. Mit einer Fertigungstiefe von 85% in der eigenen Produktion und 85% Stromversorgung aus alternativen Energieträgern setzt Wipotec ein starkes Zeichen für #Innovation und #Nachhaltigkeit. Vielen Dank an Michael Schläger und Stefan Pfeiffer für die Eindrücke aus erster Hand. 🤝 Unser ganz besonderer Dank an Veronika Pommer und Rafael Pekmezovic von der IHK Pfalz für die Organisation vor Ort und an die IHK für Rheinhessen, IHK Rhein-Neckar, IHK Darmstadt Rhein Main Neckar und Annabel Brink, Hawksford, für die Unterstützung. Wir haben viel gelernt und gesehen und freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Besuch! #GICHK #AHK #IHK #PartnerForInnovation #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Industrie50 #SmartManufacturing #Hongkong #Kaiserslautern

Wie verändert #Fintech das Finanzsystem und was bedeutet das für etablierte Banken und Regulatoren? Wo liegen Kooperationsmöglichkeiten? Was macht #Frankfurt und #Hongkong attraktiv für innovative Startups? Und in welchen Bereichen können beide Standorte eventuell voneinander lernen, um sich zukünftig (noch) besser zu positionieren? 🚀 Über diese und viele weitere spannende Fragen diskutierten wir gestern im Rahmen einer gemeinsamen Veranstaltung mit der DZ BANK AG in Frankfurt. Wir bedanken uns bei Souad Benkredda für die herzliche Begrüßung und bei unseren Experten Stefan Bredohl (German Consulate General Hong Kong), Dirk Schrade (Deutsche Bundesbank), Dr. Michael Migendt (DZ BANK) und Phong Dao (iVE.ONE) für die spannenden Impulse und Denkanstöße, die wir im Anschluss bei einem Networking in der Skylobby hoch über Frankfurt noch weiter vertiefen konnten. 💡 Fazit: Hongkong und Frankfurt verbindet weit mehr als nur ihre spektakulären Skylines. Als führende Finanz- und Innovationszentren bilden die beiden Städte eine wichtige Brücke zwischen Europa und Asien und bieten insbesondere im Fintech-Bereich ein hochentwickeltes Ökosystem für junge Gründerinnen und Gründer. Gleichzeitig bestehen weiterhin viele Unterschiede, vom regulatorischen Umfeld über die Risikoaffinität im Markt bis hin zur allgemeinen Kontaktoffenheit potenzieller Geschäftspartner. 🔍 Der beste Weg, herauszufinden, wie beide Standorte aufgestellt sind, bleibt also immer noch: selbst hinfahren und sich vor Ort einen Überblick verschaffen. In Hongkong bietet dafür beispielsweise die Hong Kong FinTech Week vom 28. Oktober bis 2. November einen idealen Anlass. 🙌 Vielen Dank an Frank Sperling, Barbara Urban, Johannes Hack und das ganze Team der DZ BANK AG für die tolle Kooperation, an die IHK Frankfurt am Main, OAV - German Asia-Pacific Business Association, Frankfurt Main Finance und Annabel Brink Hawksford für die freundliche Unterstützung, und nicht zuletzt an all unsere Gäste für das rege Interesse! #GICHK #DZBANK #PartnerForInnovation #finance #innovation

Full house at the #GreaterChinaDay2024 in Munich! The biennial flagship conference on 27 June brought together more than 300 participants, including high-level speakers and guests from business, think tanks, and institutions, for a day of comprehensive and candid talks on current trends in Greater China. 🚀 Programme highlights included regional updates from the presidents of the German Chambers in North, East, South & Southwest China, and Hong Kong; keynotes from Prof Dr Sebastian Heilmann and H.E. Dr Patricia Flor; as well as multiple informative and entertaining panel discussions on topics ranging from e-commerce to export control and from data security to future industries. 💬 During a breakout session in the afternoon, we had the opportunity to take stock of Hong Kong’s role as a hub for German business, together with Johannes Hack, Anne Loos, and Stefan Kracht. Key aspects discussed in this context included the city’s strategic importance for the supply chain operations of German companies and its formidable innovation ecosystem, particularly in fields such as AI and smart manufacturing technologies. 💡 The Greater China Day not only provided valuable food for thought on navigating business in Greater China amidst an ever more complicated economic and geopolitical environment, but also an excellent platform to meet face to face and exchange views with leading experts from companies, the IHK network, and partner institutions in Germany. 🤝 Many thanks to all our speakers, and especially to our colleagues at the IHK für München und Oberbayern and AHK Greater China for organising this important event. We look forward to the next edition in 2026! Photos: Andreas Gebert #AHK #IHK #PartnerForGreaterChina #china #hongkong #business
