High-performance battery storage systems are considered one of the prerequisites for a successful energy transition. Despite considerable gains in recent years, the market still offers significant growth opportunities—but also risks. Jan Holsten and Robert Schröder examine forecasts, framework conditions, and areas of application for battery storage systems in Germany.

The former monopoly on information held by sellers has given way to digital transparency. This has many advantages for buyers, but it also forces suppliers who want to grow to reorganize their sales processes. enomyc author Jan-Ulrik explains how the role of sales must change and what contribution it must make to successful customer acquisition.

Diversifying activities beyond the core business and generating new business in new economic sectors: even well-positioned SMEs fail to meet the challenges of new markets. What makes diversification so problematic? Is it the principle itself? Does diversification fail in certain specific sectors or simply in its implementation? Two experts, Stefan Frings, partner at enomyc, and Jochen Markgraf, partner at Seitz Rechtsanwälte, examine the issue from the perspective of performance economics and corporate law.

The European battery industry is in crisis: gigafactory projects have been put on hold and capacity has been reduced. Yet demand for high-performance energy storage systems continues to grow. How can this recovery be achieved? Our experts present three concrete solutions for overcoming the crisis and explain why it is crucial to make the right decisions now to ensure success or failure. Discover how the European vision for batteries can still become a reality!

With his “tar hammer” announced a few days ago, US President Donald Trump has exceeded even the worst fears regarding his trade policy. One thing is clear: German SMEs that sell their products all over the world will also suffer from the high tariffs. This is a good opportunity to further expand your own competitiveness, says enomyc author Jan Ulrik Holsten.

Donald Trump's return to the White House poses profound challenges for German SMEs. Trade barriers, geopolitical power shifts, and economic uncertainties are increasingly coming into focus. enomyc expert Jan Ulrik Holsten shows how SMEs should respond now—and what strategic opportunities are available despite all the risks.

Supply chain problems? This phrase is likely to remind many people of the coronavirus pandemic. Back then, it was primarily disrupted transport routes and production losses in the Far East that caused problems for German car manufacturers in particular. This time, it is the volatile situation in the supply industry. enomyc author Wolfram W. Hackbarth explains why their sandwich position is so dangerous for large suppliers and how manufacturers and large suppliers can take advantage of the wave of consolidation.

Automotive manufacturers and suppliers are facing the challenge of strategically realigning their production or engineering sites. High costs, increasing competitive pressure, and complex risks such as quality defects, production delays, or the loss of valuable knowledge make relocation a real test. With our expertise, we support you in identifying these challenges early on, minimizing costs, and ensuring smooth implementation. This allows you to not only secure production quality, but also your long-term competitiveness.

In the first part of his guide to crisis prevention, enomyc author Jan-Ulrik Holsten explained the common patterns of corporate crises and the hurdles that must be overcome to prevent them successfully. One key challenge is transforming data into meaningful insights. In the second installment, he illustrates this process using the example of early risk detection systems, which play a crucial role in overcoming this obstacle.

Hydrogen is considered one of the key energy carriers in the effort to transform industry and transportation sectors to be climate-neutral. According to the German government's National Hydrogen Strategy, ten gigawatts of electrolysis capacity are expected to be built in Germany alone by 2030. This would meet one-third to one-half of the domestic demand and require an almost unprecedented scaling of current capacities. While many view this plan as completely unrealistic, enomyc author Wolfram Hackbarth sees opportunities.

The much-anticipated economic upturn, recently forecasted by some economists, seems to be on hold for now. The rising number of bankruptcies also does not suggest a trend reversal anytime soon. Estimates predict at least 20 percent more business insolvencies this year. From over 1,400 projects, we know that corporate crises don't happen overnight. They usually follow a predictable pattern, and many could be entirely avoided if management adhered to a few key principles and activated the right levers at the right time. enomyc author Jan Ulrik Holsten explains what is essential in this process.

Many companies have faced an existential crisis in recent months due to challenging economic conditions, Germany's unique structural situation, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation has been further aggravated by sharply rising capital costs, heightened risk aversion among financiers, and debt obligations from the pandemic period. According to enomyc author Dr. Stefan Frings, multiple crises present the perfect opportunity for decisive action.
