A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working for Handelsblatt Industry Summit on "Innovation made in Europe". So what does it take to make our companies more innovative?

On the one hand, the topic must be centralized in the organization, and on the other hand, time must be allocated to it. At Google, for example, employees can spend 20% of their time on creative projects. This is how Gmail and Google Maps, among others, were created.
๐๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ:
Innovation requires a systematic approach - and no colorful ball pools. We need to establish clear processes and methods and test ideas with numerous hypotheses.
๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป:
Europe must open its doors, share knowledge and network with other countries and companies. To do this, we have to compromise on our need for security.
๐๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ ๐๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐ต:
We need to work together on a vision of what "Made in Germany" or "Made in Europe" should mean in the future. We have simply lost our claim to excellence in many areas.
