📚 Book recommendation for founders, innovators, and anyone who’s ever built business from scratch:

Last week, I read “Founders’ Stories: Scheitern als Geschäftsmodell” (“Founders’ Stories: Failure as a Business Model”) – and I have to say: it’s one of the most honest and insightful books on startups I’ve come across.

As someone who regularly speaks and leads workshops on startups, innovation, AI, and XR, I see myself in many of the stories shared here.

Especially because I’ve been on that journey too: we built a successful company from the ground up. We’ve seen the highs and the lows and this book captures that rollercoaster authentically and powerfully.

What I appreciate most is the honesty.
Failure isn’t an exception: it’s part of the process.

And that’s exactly what makes these stories so valuable!

Huge respect to Axel Täubert (the editor), and all the contributing founders: THANK YOU for sharing your experiences so openly!

Highly recommended for anyone who’s building, failing, learning, and growing.

Big Tech is adapting. Startups need to move faster. The regulatory gap is real... and growing. Europe and the U.S. are drifting apart on tech rules. For startups, that means one-size-fits-all no longer works. A new, fragmented innovation map is taking shape... are you ready?

Enjoy the read! I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Great insights at the “International Tech Talks” hosted by München und Oberbayern ( IHK für München und Oberbayern) with a sharp focus on in and Northern !

A few key takeaways that stuck with me:
1. Just because we can or may do something, doesn’t mean we should.
Technological, legal, and ethical boundaries need to be considered: especially with AI (Andrea Martin)

2. “Our machines should be nothing more than tools for extending the powers of the human beings who use them.”
A powerful reminder from Thomas J. Watson Jr., former .

3. AI trends for 2025?
• Agentic AI will transform businesses, but only if we upskill people.
• Technical debt continues to grow.
• AI location matters more than ever.
• Business models lag behind rapid innovation.

4. and AI are leading the way
According to the IHK Survey 2024, Cloud and AI are the most used (and most planned) technologies within companies.

Seeing what other countries are doing in the field of AI is not only inspiring: it’s a catalyst for cooperation! I’m all in if you are.

Let’s connect, exchange ideas, and work across borders. Together, we really are stronger!

Thanks to all the speakers and participants for the engaging discussions and valuable insights.

Yesterday at Technische Universität München (Technical University of Munich) I had the pleasure of reconnecting with old colleagues, ex students, friends, my Doktormutter (Prof. Gudrun Klinker), and the brilliant Prof. Rob Lindeman (Director of the HIT Lab NZ), who delivered a fascinating talk on "Comfortable VR: Supporting Regular and Long-Term Immersion."

The day was filled with enriching discussions with Rob (that is a pioneer who have shaped the history of this incredible technology since the '90s).

It’s clear that regardless of whether we’re discussing eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, or any other innovation, the focus remains the same: come first!

Grateful for such meaningful conversations and the opportunity to learn from one another.

Seit vielen Jahren lebe ich hier in Deutschland, zahle meine Steuern und habe in vielfältiger Weise zu unserem Gemeinwohl beigetragen. Dennoch ist es mir heute leider nicht gestattet, an der Wahl teilzunehmen. Diese Situation verdeutlicht für mich, wie einzigartig und wertvoll das Wahlrecht ist: ein Privileg, das es ermöglicht, aktiv an der Gestaltung unserer Zukunft teilzunehmen.

Wählen bedeutet, seine Stimme zu erheben und sich als informierter Bürger in die politische Entscheidungsfindung einzubringen.

Es ist ein Privileg, das mit Verantwortung einhergeht: eine Chance, mit Bedacht und Weitblick Entscheidungen zu treffen, die nicht nur das Hier und Jetzt, sondern auch die langfristige Entwicklung unseres Landes beeinflussen.

Ich appelliere an jeden Einzelnen, sich mit Kopf und Herz dieser Aufgabe zu widmen und die Bedeutung des Wahlrechts zu erkennen.

Gehen Sie heute wählen. Seien Sie ein aktiver Teil unserer Gesellschaft, informieren Sie sich fundiert und lassen Sie nicht zu, dass andere über Ihre Zukunft entscheiden. Jede Stimme zählt: machen Sie Ihren Unterschied.

🚀 Marketing Revolution: How AI is Shaping the Future of Marketing!📖

I’m excited to share my latest book chapter, “Marketing-Revolution: Enthüllung innovativer Ansätze der Branche (EN: Marketing Revolution: Unveiling Innovative Approaches in the Industry)” from “KI in Medien, Kommunikation und Marketing (EN: AI in Media, Communication, and Marketing)”. In this chapter, I explore how Artificial Intelligence—from LLMs and SLMs to emotion detection—is empowering companies to create hyper-personalized content and deliver unique customer experiences.

Discover how immersive technologies and data-driven strategies are transforming marketing into an agile, responsive discipline.

Last evening, I had the pleasure of attending the Finanz- und Heimatempfang Süd at the Kaisersaal of Residenz München: an event that focused not only on the digital sector but also on many other forward-thinking investments.

The inspiring conversations with Prof. Dagmar Schuller and Prof. Dr. Marcus Jautze opened up new perspectives and highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary exchange for our continued growth.

A heartfelt thank you to the Bayerisches Staatsministerium der Finanzen und für Heimat for this unforgettable event!

💵OpenAI’s New Trademark Filing: The Convergence of AI, Robotics, and Extended Reality💶 https://tsdr.uspto.gov 👉🏻 US Serial Number: 99025123

OpenAI’s recent trademark application hints at more than just a move into hardware: it underscores a broader trend I’ve been pointing out for years in my workshops and lessons.

🤖Anyone who attended them knows we saw this coming from a mile away: AI, robotics, and extended reality are on a fast track to converging in ways that will redefine industries and daily life!

My Take: The potential for AI-driven hardware to reshape the market is massive. We’re not just talking incremental improvements…. we’re looking at an entirely new ecosystem of products and services that could emerge in the next few years. And if you’ve been in my sessions, you already know the momentum behind these trends.

Question for You:
What do you think about OpenAI’s move into potential hardware solutions, and how do you see it influencing your industry or daily life in the next 5 years?
