Engineering concepts – Why language matters

Prof. Dr. Sebastian Köhler

Current political discourse teems with discussions about language. People get hot-headed about gender-neutral language, street names, what one is “still allowed to say,” and the limits of political correctness. Recently, the German state of Bavaria’s conservative government even went so far as to ban outright gender-neutral spellings in all legal and administrative state regulation, the justification being that such spellings would make official regulations harder to understand.

It’s not just Charity - how Transfers enhance Cooperation on Climate Action

Dr. Karol Kempa

As the world grapples with intensifying climate risks, one critical question remains unanswered: how can we fairly and effectively share the global burden of reducing greenhouse gas emissions?

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have made their way into every aspect of our work life. By showing an incredible ability to identify complex data patterns, AI bears the promise of simplifying and improving daily business operations and has multiple implications in finance. So, what can we expect in the field of sustainable finance?

As we rapidly approach the critical 1.5°C target set in the 2015 Paris Agreement, the urgency to address climate change and its multifaceted impacts cannot be overstated. Rising temperatures, sea level increases, biodiversity loss, and pervasive pollution of air, water, and soil continue to challenge the global community.

There's something magical about early-stage startups that reminds me of the Flammarion engraving. I’ll tell a short tale of just one such project: Ceres FieldCheck – to answer a single question: how & when does an idea turn into a startup?

Risk and Reward: Transforming SME Financing in Iraq

Callum Lee

A country steeped in rich history of ancient civilisations and breathtaking natural landscapes, Iraq’s beauty contrasts starkly with the challenges it faces today. Iraq has endured years of conflict and political instability which has severely impacted economic activity, no less for its crucial SME sector.Access to finance remains a significant hurdle for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Iraq. Despite being the backbone of the economy, contributing significantly to employment rates and GDP, SMEs face substantial barriers to obtaining the financial resources they need to grow and sustain their operations.

Sowing seeds of prosperity: Agribusinesses in Egypt

Callum Lee

Recognising this critical gap between financial institutions and agribusinesses, GIZ Egypt launched the ‘Strengthening Access to Finance for Agribusiness in Egypt’ together with Frankfurt School, with the aim of equipping financial institutions with the necessary tools and know-how to bolster their service provisions for agribusinesses, to foster an environment in which they can thrive and, ultimately, to have a lasting impact on economic growth and stability.

Cooperation Company Project: A Journey Through Retail Location Analysis

Rhushikesh Bhosale

In the fast-evolving domain of retail, the adage "location, locality, area" has never lost its significance. However, determining the optimal spot for a new retail outlet involves a complex interplay of data analysis, artificial intelligence, and a deep understanding of urban geography.

Embarking on a Master's in Applied Data Science at Frankfurt School has been a transformative journey, intertwining rigorous academic work with real-world professional experience. It has been a journey of growth, learning and self-discovery. It’s a challenging yet rewarding path that has taught me the importance of resilience, time management and strategic planning.

Beyond adaptation: Addressing loss and damage in the face of climate change

Khayala Sadikhova

"Loss and Damage" refers to the adverse impacts of climate change that surpass the ability of countries and communities to adapt or that occur despite adaptation efforts. It has gained prominence in the climate change debate because it is becoming increasingly clear that mitigation and adaptation alone will not be enough to address the impacts of climate change.

With the advancement of transformative technologies, the boundaries between digital and analog are becoming increasingly blurred. Immersive experiences are on the rise due to the growing interest in the "Metaverse" – not only for gaming and entertainment but also for collaboration in groups and teams.

Researching the Impact of AI on the Future of Work

Moritz Strube

While some are optimistic about the transformative power of AI on the world of work and the economy, empirical data urges us to be cautious. The future of work and the impact of automation remain open topics that are influenced by a variety of factors, including technological developments, economic structures and political decisions.

Auditing with intelligent co-pilots: Generative Artificial Intelligence in Audit

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in auditing is increasingly providing valuable support for auditors in a wide range of audit procedures. Currently, the application still extends to supposedly basic tasks, but in the future, the co-piloted auditing paradigm will increasingly transform the application of artificial intelligence in auditing practice.

The 3rd Annual Conference of the Indo-German Centre for Business Excellence took place on 13 October 2023. It was a first for us: after two instalments that we ran at Frankfurt School in Germany, we now took the conference to India. Its overarching topic was manufacturing under the theme Rethinking Manufacturing in India and Germany: Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Growth.
