The best part of work is always at the terminals. Yesterday at the HHLA Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG Container Terminal Tollerort. Supporting the incredible works of founders Marcel Wiegand and Nico Marks and their exciting venture passify that secures and automates gate processes. The roll-out was a blast. Speaking with hundreds of truck drivers all day long and showing them the easiness of the gate process via smartphone App. This is another great example why founders who have years of terminal work experiences make the difference when it comes to gate integration, process knowledge and smooth software roll-outs. And this is just the start. passify simplifies and streamlines the access management process for both truck drivers and facility operators, while providing real-time information on pick-up and delivery availability. Definitely a startup to watch on an exciting growth path. #smartport #terminalaccess #startup #truck #gateprocess

Regascold is among the #topten in the AC2 Startup #Competition of GründerRegion Aachen. 🌟 We utilize the cold energy that is usually lost in traditional regasification processes. As our co-founder, Sven Hudy, perfectly puts it: "The cold is already there; why leave it unused?". 🌬️💡Read the full article here. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKtTtjAH

How do I actually get proper money as a founder? I spoke about this in the Für-Gründer.de Podcast with editor Elena Todeva. What financing options are there? How do I find the VC that really suits me? When should I bootstrap? Which financing has which consequences in the end? My personal tip for founders: Do some real networking, exchange ideas with other founders, get tips and advice from everywhere, be brave, talk to experienced founders and ask really deep questions and learn always from the experiences of others. Please listen and feel free to write me feedback. https://lnkd.in/de_ZmdZq

Jan Lozek, and I shed light on the importance of collaboration between climate tech start-ups and corporations in Business Insider last week. Here are the key takeaways: 1️⃣ Digitalization can slow down climate change: As our electricity grids transform, digital tools are crucial. In Germany alone, 2.6 million photovoltaic systems will be on residential roofs by summer 2023. This ecosystem can only be managed effectively with automated, digital tools, like Amperecloud, node.energy and metergrid GmbH are working on. 2️⃣ Unity for Climate Goals: To meet climate goals amid significant macroeconomic challenges, collaboration between startups and corporations is essential. Startups bring innovation and new technologies, while corporations provide resources, market access, and scaling capabilities. At Future Energy Ventures, we foster collaboration by bringing together innovative climate tech startups and experienced corporations to maximize impact in climate technology. 3️⃣  Decarbonization Goals: Decarbonization is still progressing far too slowly: According to a recent study by PwC, the world needs to decarbonize seven times faster to limit warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Urgent action is needed. It's time to unite and collaborate! Together, we can spearhead impactful shifts towards a future devoid of carbon, guaranteeing value for every stakeholder right from the beginning. #ClimateTech #Innovation #Decarbonization #EnergyTransition

🎙️I recently had the pleasure of joining Max Ostermeier on his podcast, the Startcast Podcast. Max invited me to share my journey as a founder – from the very beginning to where we are today with MVP Factory. In our conversation, we delved into the lessons I've learned along the way, my perspective on startups and the mindset shift of Zebras vs Unicorns, founding in times of crisis, and some of the incredible projects like Yarded we're working on at MVP Factory.
 Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just curious about our journey with MVP Factory, listen in and share your thoughts with me. We covered a lot of ground, from the early challenges to the innovative solutions we're bringing to life today:
 🔹 The pivotal moments in my entrepreneurial journey 🔹 Insights on building and scaling startups  🔹 Behind-the-scenes stories from MVP Factory projects  🔹 How joining Ness Digital Engineering enables us to drive more innovation A big thank you to Max for the invitation, the great conversation, and your patience (it took us a while to find an appointment).

A very good overview Frederic Pampus, thank you for sharing. Great to see that also Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG is part of this list. Venture Clienting is not restricted to large corporations, also Lohmann Group, a more than 170-years old family business is evolving and with our Lohmann Innovation Hub, we are building innovation ecosystems and value chains, foster partnerships and provide support, resources and mentorship for start-ups and scale-ups. This enables us to scale new ideas in a fast way and evaluate new business models in a steadier manner. We understand the needs of start-ups, we are familiar with a lean start-up mindset and have the ambition to co-design and built a better business with our partners. As a family business, we appreciate trust and respect as core values. Quite some time ago, we have started with open innovation initiatives and hosted our own start-up challenge. But later, we took the decision to do the next step in this evolution. The Lohmann Innovation Hub is our "fast breeder" for hot topics in Technology, Sustainability and Digitalisation. We want to go BEYOND! For more details check: https://lnkd.in/eG7iSXGP https://lnkd.in/euKBTKcF #innovation #sustainability #digitalisation #beyond

Always asked myself, if I can be happy …always? As an entrepreneur you are in the natural habit of optimizing all aspects of a project so why don’t optimize your life? After many years of learning about what makes us happy, I think it is only a transient state. But maybe we can feel even better … when we are in Flow! Flow is the state of consciousness in which we forget space and time, are maximally happy, motivated and efficient. In this state, we feel our best and achieve the most. What do we need to achieve this flow? Why is it so important for founders and managers? I talk about this in the podcast with editor Elena Todeva Listen in and share your best flow moments. #flow #flowmoment #success #performance #motivation #alignment #leadership #newwork #startup #vc #entrepreneurship

Obviously still some room to grow for the German & EU-VC/Startup-Ecosystem! Important sidenote: Whereas these charts look "bad" at first sight and should motivate all of us to further improve the German and EU-system, let's not forget that "less capital in the market" also correlates a lot with "attractive investment terms for the ones that are investing" - so likely investing in German/EU startups / grownups and funds will continue to provide a more attractive return than standing with 100 peers in a long queue in a potentially exagerated US/Chinese-funding round (and e.g. the FoF EIF-data from Bjorn Tremmerie et al seems to prove that assumption). (Ulrike Hinrichs; Verena Pausder; Christoph J. Stresing; Anna Christmann; Anna Alex; David Wortmann; Thomas Jarzombek; Holger Clemens Hinz, CEFA ...)

Reflecting on yesterday's discussions in Brussels: Decarbonising transport is a multifaceted challenge that requires a combination of solutions. While #synfuels are crucial for decarbonizing existing ICE vehicles, commercial fleets, and aviation, they complement rather than replace e-mobility. Similarly, hydrogen plays a pivotal role, especially in long-range and heavy-duty applications. Europe must find the right pace to electrify transport. This transition won't happen overnight, but it also can't drag on indefinitely. Achieving 100% net-zero emissions will likely take a bit more than a decade. Policymakers must ensure the right conditions are met, including accelerating infrastructure build-out, reducing bureaucracy, doubling down on critical research, localising an end-to-end (circular) battery value chain. We must avoid past mistakes, such as those seen in the solar industry. I recently discussed this topic in our podcast, emphasising the need for a balanced and well-paced approach to electrification. #Sustainability #Decarbonization #Transport #Synfuels #Hydrogen #EMobility #Policy #Infrastructure #Podcast
