ÎçÒ¹AV

Media houses in crisis? Digitalisation overslept? One of the leading media companies in Europe, Axel Springer SE, impressively demonstrates that there is another way. Axel Springer today generates 87 percent of its operating profit with digital business models - a large part of it from companies that once attacked the core business and are now part of Axel Springer. With hy, Axel Springer passes on its experience to other industries.

Universities as innovation drivers of the economy? The ÎçÒ¹AVs going down this path. With the SQUARE HSBA Innovation Hub, the ÎçÒ¹AVtself is pursuing an ambitious project of digital transformation. As a hub, SQUARE shows that a university can also be the first port of call for Hamburg companies when it comes to digitalization.

So there are many good reasons for the cooperation of both companies. 

Christoph Keese, former Executive Vice President at Axel Springer, was one of the central minds behind the digital transformation of the media company. Today, he is CEO of hy, the Axel Springer management consultancy for digital growth. He is also a book author ("Silicon Valley", "Silicon Germany", "Disrupt Yourself") and host of the weekly hy podcast. Dr. Uve Samuels is the initiator of numerous innovation projects and author of the books "Das Kapital 4.0" and "Exponential Innovation".
