Congratulations - BADEN-WUERTTEMBERG - The Third Most Innovative Region in the World! The most South-Western state of Germany, with industrial giants like Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Bosch, but foremost one of the centres of the GERMAN MITTELSTAND, with the thousands of Hidden Champions, world leaders in their niches, has been ranked by the research institute IW Köln as the third most innovative region in the world - after Massachusets and California! Are we too pessimistic in Germany at the moment? Germany might be more innovative than many think. As the Economist writes in its recent edition: "The Mittelstand will redeem German innovation" - https://lnkd.in/eEjN-zmJ Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW) whichs combines practical work experience with thorough academic training is one enabler for the critical transfer of innovation to our many partner companies in this state of Germany. See as a good example DHBW's successful Innopreneur Program for talented students. https://lnkd.in/e8SsBYtu, https://lnkd.in/e64QBMCv
https://lnkd.in/dmTDCDgZ Das ist doch mal ne Headline die uns Schwaben freut! In der Tat bin ich schon ein wenig überrascht dass wir wirklich so weit vorne dabei sind. Wir sind ja Weltmeister im Understatement, deshalb spricht man hier nicht so viel drüber, man macht lieber. Es gibt aber immer noch das Potential und den Ansporn, auf Platz 1 zu kommen! Dafür müssen wir insbesondere im digitalen Bereich wesentlich besser und schneller werden. We are working on it ;)
