I received this “I have a friend who runs a small – medium sized business highly specialised in high precision machinery for one critical part of a car, including EV’s here in Germany. The forecast for the car future in Germany worries him as he in a niche provider, content today with what he does but sees a difficult future. He needs options and wonders how he can “break out” of his single business rather locked into the Car Industry. What would the Intelligent Integrated Business Ecosystem (IIBE) do for him? 

I refer back to Bob Gravestijns really probing article “Germany’s industrial memory loss: Why an engineering engine is losing the ecosystem play” to help explain how a country can still have world-class firms, skills and institutions, yet begin to lose the architecture that allows them to learn, align and adapt together.

So let me speak to your friend’s situation tuned to the reality of German precision manufacturing, the automotive transition, and the ecosystem pressures he’s feeling. 

This will show exactly what the IIBE would do for him, and why it matters now, not later.
