The introduction of new medical therapies represents major challenges for healthcare providers such as hospitals or medical practices. Often, there is insufficient information about how these innovations will affect internal processes and, consequently, personnel resources. Therefore, necessary resources can only be planned with difficulty, and some of these questions can only be partially answered: 🔹 Which new drugs will come to market in the near future? 🔹 What will the additional costs be? Can other costs be saved to compensate? 🔹 Are investments in infrastructure necessary? 🔹 Are there enough personnel resources to apply the new therapy to all eligible patients? 🔹 What information would be necessary to estimate whether and how innovative therapies will impact internal processes and resources? 🔹 How can healthcare providers prepare for innovative therapies and reduce planning risks?   Bjoern Grob, partner at the Swiss consulting company HEMAP AG, and I addressed these questions in a paper published in the current issue of ÖKZ magazine.

Start-ups in Europe: a light at the end of the tunnel - finally!    This article by Nadine Schimroszik in Handelsblatt gives reason for hope for the tech ecosystem, as it summarises a development that has been tentatively emerging for some time: The number of new #start-ups in Germany is growing again, by 17 per cent, as shown by a comparison of the first quarter of 2024 with the same quarter of the previous year.   💡It is particularly interesting to see that most investments are being made in AI. An unmistakable sign that they continue to be a driver of innovation for the German startup ecosystem.   We recently came to a similar conclusion with my team, as part of our analysis of the German startup landscape. Our conclusion: more and more funding are being mobilised for ♻️ #Greentech business ideas that are based on AI-based technologies and have a positive impact on our planet.

Handelsblatt published a special edition today titled "The Future Plan: 60 Ideas to Advance Germany." Many executives contributed their perspectives – and so did we at McKinsey & Company. Together with BCG and Roland Berger, we honored Handelsblatt's request and outlined an "Agenda 2035" that can guide Germany towards a new trajectory of economic growth. You can read the full article below [in German]. Growth is the prerequisite for the wealth of our economy – everyone should contribute, and everyone can benefit. Thanks Handelsblatt for this initiative and thanks Michael Brigl and Stefan Schaible for the joint effort! With this, we want to provide an impetus for economic growth and investments – beyond client work and our own thought leadership publications such as our recent report "A Pivot for Germany – All for Growth and Growth for All" (mck.de/apivotforgermany | mck.de/wachstumswende). #Together, let's make a positive impact and contribute to the advancement of our economy. #zusammen #WachstumswendeDeutschland #60JahreMcKinseyDeutschland

Shaping Europe’s #DeepTech future together! 🌍🤝 One of the highlights at this year’s #FallingWalls Science Summit was our #BCG x SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen Executive Table, bringing together leaders from diverse innovation agencies, corporates, and venture capitalists across Europe. Never before have we gathered such a diverse group to shape our deep tech future.  This fruitful discussion marked a powerful step toward a pan-European deep tech strategy, focusing on three crucial changes needed for us to lead in global innovation:  ➡ Change scientific dogma: Almost half of the world's PhDs are awarded in Europe, yet success for scientists is still measured mainly by publications. To empower real-world impact, founding a company should be a natural next step post-PhD. Shifting this mindset can inspire a new generation of science-driven entrepreneurs. ➡ Strengthen business transfer: With German universities investing only 0.1% of their budgets into business transfer, we see an urgent need to rethink these priorities. University transfer centers should move from profit centers to service providers, supporting deep tech startups through long-term investment, encouraging both risk-taking and sustainable growth. ➡ Build a shared ecosystem: While Europe has made strides in early-stage funding, there’s a gap in later-stage investments, especially compared to the US. Encouraging companies and governments to become startup clients and fostering venture clienting are essential steps to create a sustainable ecosystem that helps deep tech startups scale effectively. At BCG, we are proud to have collaborated with SPRIN-D to build these bridges and foster the essential discussions. Thank you to all participants for joining the table and exchanging your ideas.  #Innovation Markus Lorenz Rafael Laguna de la Vera Antonia Jenkinson, ACCA, FCSI Anna Bergstrand António Grilo

2025 is a critical year for companies in Germany aiming to reignite growth after years of navigating challenges. My partners Jorg and Rajesh outline 5 key strategies designed to help German business leaders unlock new opportunities and build resilience.

Last month we published a special joint initiative between Future Today Institute and Handelsblatt: Scenarios For Germany's Future. Today, Germany stands at a crossroads: it can either maintain its current course, and risk a gradual economic and societal decline, or it can choose to reinvigorate its legacy of innovation by investing in digitalization, modernization, education, and new technologies. The path of innovation isn't a choice from our perspective; Germany must assert its leadership in the 21st century. Our analysis reveals that Germany’s opportunity to lead once again is not just possible but necessary for the future prosperity of Europe and the global economy. This leadership will require a significant shift in mindset and strategy, moving away from traditional comforts towards a future-oriented, risk-embracing approach. The report is available to the public on our website at https://lnkd.in/gnWYN83N. #scenarios #future #germany #foresight #strategicforesight #strategy #strategicplanning
