Crypto currencies and digital payment methods have been fuelling the emergence of new trends and developments in the financial sector for several years; and they’ve gained significant impetus.

The smart meter rollout has been causing some ambivalence in the energy sector for many years – a lot of hustle, a lot of work and, at the same time, a lot of standing still. If you believe the words of Arne Schönborn, President of the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI), a milestone in the digitalisation of the energy transition has now been reached. In this blog post, we explain what this milestone is and what it means for the smart meter rollout seven years after the publication of the German Act on the Digitalisation of the Energy Transition (Gesetz zur Digitalisierung der Energiewende, GDEW).

By creating the opening balance sheet on climate protection, Robert Habeck, Germany’s Federal Minister for Economics and Climate Action, has made it clear that there is still a lot to be done to achieve Germany’s climate targets.

There is still very little data sharing going on in today’s insurance industry. Obstacles to this include strict and often unclear regulations, reluctance to share data or the difficulty involved in calculating the value of data in advance. Gaia-X offers insurance providers enormous potential. I will explain what that potential is in my blog post.

You’ve probably heard a lot about the Online Access Act, but what is it exactly? Why is the Online Access Act important for Germany? What are the specific challenges and how implementation is progressing? I will answer these questions in my blog post.

An efficient and flexible design of the IT systems is the basic prerequisite for high-performance banking operations.
