Digital Innovation Units<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corporations on the Track of Start-ups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our study “Corporations on the Track of Start-ups”, we have been analyzing the landscape of digital innovation units together with the business magazine Capital since 2017, honoring the best units with the Digital Lab Award. Our study is an important basis for action for all companies that want to expand their innovation activities to include innovation labs, company builders, accelerators and the like, or already operate such units. It provides valuable information on how digital innovation units can make measurable contributions to the innovation and transformation of established companies without merely serving as a playground for CEOs and hip creatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our studies on trends and developments in finished vehicle logistics by rail, we analyze how the market and its players react to market dynamics with changing roles and business models as well as new strategic partnerships. Based on our market know-how and interviews with the players, we describe the development patterns, shed light on the players’ strategies and derive fields of action from this. We provide valuable insights into how individual companies should position themselves and work together in the future to optimally utilize the advantages of the rail mode and increase its efficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategies of established players increase the pressure to act and require a reassessment of their own understanding of their roles. New asset and resource pools offer potential for all players and open up opportunities for new investment partnerships. At the same time, rail is becoming the critical mode of transportation and essential infrastructure capacity is being secured through new strategic collaborations. We outline the key action areas in our study. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
