🚢 The Maritime Tech M&A Wave: Accelerating Innovation Through Acquisitions The maritime industry is witnessing a surge in mergers and acquisitions, especially in the tech sector. This trend is driven not only by the market conditions and tech consolidations but interestingly by the increasing demand for advanced technological software solutions from shipping companies, who are seeking to modernise their operations and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market. Dive into the article to explore how these acquisitions are accelerating innovation and shaping the future of shipping. #MaritimeTech #Innovation #MergersAndAcquisitions

Corporate innovation units need to innovate. One attractive approach is corporate venture capital (#CVC). Particularly when you intend to work with earlystage #startups. With the right strategic investment approach it's possible to build a significant portfolio in very short time. I'm very proud of what we've achieved with HHLA Next! In less than 3 years we've developed a leading #maritime and #logistics startup #portfolio alongside our corporate strategic objectives with a well balanced investment approach: i) build ii) direct invest iii) indirect invest Main objective with this 3-level approach is to de-risk capital deployment and to scale. Investing into specialised venture capital funds helped us significantly to: 1) scale quickly with a global perspective 2) gain innovation trend knowledge super fast 3) get access to a startup world that is way different than corporate thinking 4) learn from the founders on eye-level what works and what not 5) get access to a global co-investors and partner network Corporates sometimes think that they can do everything by themselves. We learned that the professional exchange with specialised fund managers like Motion Ventures and theDOCK accelerated our development significantly that I can highly recommend for any corporate to scale up innovation. Drop me a line if you want to learn more on our CVC investment approach. Happy to share our positive experiences. #impactinvesting #cvc #startup #investmentstrategy #venturecapital
