Education as the Key to the Future – WHU Leads the Way 🚀 From the very beginning, WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management has been about more than just academics. It is a place of collaboration, lifelong learning, and shared success. As a proud alumnus of the founding class of 1984, as a co-founder and long-time president of In Praxi - WHU Alumni Association and In Praxi WHU Foundation, as a recipient of the WHU Medal of Honour, as a WHU Ambassador, and as a member of the Deans’ Advisory Council, education has always been close to my heart. I firmly believe that education is the key to a better future. That is why I am particularly proud to see WHU once again take on a pioneering role—becoming the first German business school to collaborate with OpenAI. This initiative ensures that students and researchers have access to the best tools to drive innovation and use AI responsibly for the greater good. Outstanding education empowers people to shape the world. WHU is a shining example of how to make that happen. 💡👏 On behalf of everyone who has contributed to this success, my heartfelt congratulations and deepest gratitude go to Toni Calabretti for Stiftung WHU, Dean Christian Andres for his leadership at WHU, Marco Vietor for In Praxi - WHU Alumni Association, Stephan Schubert for the In Praxi Foundation, and to the thousands of fellow alumni with whom I’ve had the privilege of connecting over the past 40 years. https://lnkd.in/eiam9b9R Education is one of the greatest gifts we can pass on to the next generation, and WHU embodies this principle like no other. With my son Raphael S. now part of this remarkable institution, it is a privilege to witness how WHU continues to grow as a family—one that will inspire and empower future generations through excellence in education.

🆕 Era⁉️Munich Security Conference 2025 takeaways 🇺🇸 The speech of the US Vice President at the Munich Security Conference shows clearly the alienation between America and Europe. 🇪🇺 Europe must now position itself in a new world order beyond American guarantees of peace and freedom. ⁉️ His speech at puts in question the transatlantic alliance and is part of a rapid dynamic with which the USA is currently detaching itself from Europe. 🇺🇸↔️🇪🇺 ✂️ The split between the allies is put forward using the means of military and trade policy, and Vance made it clear in Munich how cold the American zeitgeist is blowing in the faces of Europeans. The goal is not surprising, but the speed with which the new US President and his team are saying goodbye to post-war history is. 👋 🫵 Europeans are now squeezed between a global east dominated by China and a new US. 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇨🇳 🆕 business model urgently needed. The Draghi Report clearly paved the way. Let’s see what the European Commission comes up with 26th of February when presenting the clean industrial deal. 🤨 Katherina Reiche, Kirsten Westphal, Roland Roesch, Christian Pho Duc, Jennifer Morgan, Dr. Josef Braml, Anna Rosenberg , Philipp Steinberg, Tim Meyerjürgens, Ann Mettler, Amerika Haus München

🌍 Excited for Dubai! 🌍 On February 18-19, I’ll be speaking at the Prestel & Partner Family Office conference in Dubai, bringing together some of the most influential investors from the Middle East. 🌟 At Green Investors AG, we’re deeply committed to developing and financing the hydrogen world—and I’ll be discussing how white hydrogen can be a game-changer. Why is this important? 🔋 With natural hydrogen, we can produce hydrogen for as low as $1 per kilogram, making it competitive with, or even cheaper than, fossil fuels. This opens up numerous new applications that simply aren’t viable with current green hydrogen prices at $5 to $10 per kilogram. 💡 The potential for attractive financial returns is massive—because when the cost of production drops, renewable energy investments become even more profitable. 🌍 For Middle Eastern investors, this creates a unique opportunity to invest in countries like Oman, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, where natural hydrogen reserves are abundant. At Green Investors, we’ve already made strides through Decahydron in this sector, and we’re eager to share our experience and insights with others. Together, we can make the world a better place by driving the energy transition forward—where affordable energy and sustainable transformation coexist. Looking forward to contributing to a brighter, greener future at this incredible event! 🌱 For more information, see https://lnkd.in/emCueDgB Tobias Prestel, Simon Byrtus, Raphael S., Till Bajohr, Burkhard Holder, Arnaud Lager, Francesca Dessì, Rudolf Hilti, M.

Great insights, Yaakov Markovitz! The energy at Davos was undeniable, and AI was the star of many conversations. The rise of tokenisation is also something I'll be keeping an eye on-huge potential there. As for the shoes, since I only saw you indoors, I'd say they were absolutely on point! 😄👞 I also shared my thoughts on our lunch-check it out! https://lnkd.in/eEN9cfup

Great summary, Viacheslav Shirokikh! I’m always surprised by how many “boy bands” (four well-dressed guys with a flashy PowerPoint) believe they can ride the wave of a new trend with just 40 polished slides. 🚀 Success in natural hydrogen requires not only perseverance but also deep expertise in managing non-linear project developments without losing momentum. The best geologists, cutting-edge drilling technology, and strong contractual agreements—with both governments and customers—are just as crucial as the hydrogen deposit itself. From my experience in mining projects, the timeline is clear: seven years to find the resource, seven years to develop it, and another seven years to recoup the investment. The good news? In the case of natural hydrogen, if a truly high-yield deposit is discovered, that last phase will likely be much shorter. ⏳ Green Investors AG, WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management

I am pleased to share with you a preprint of “Natural Hydrogen Play-Type Models from a Development Perspective” with co-authors Jos Bonnie and Ramon Loosveld. The paper is under peer review with International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. https://lnkd.in/d5w27W5f This is an expanded version of my EAGE-GET2024 paper. It presents the same grouping of “finds” and prospects into three “hydrogen play types”: 1) “focused seepage” 2) “coal-bed hydrogen” and 3) “reservoir-trap-seal” plays. Concluding that only future finds of the latter play-type (to date, none have been discovered) could potentially deliver volumes and rates that meet industrial needs. But it provides much more detail and it also lays out, step by step with equations and context, the methodology to estimate Hydrogen Resources for the different settings together with indicative development metrics. I hope you will find this research useful.

🌍 A groundbreaking discovery could redefine the future of energy here on earth. A new study reveals Earth may hold trillions of tons of untapped hydrogen gas buried deep below the surface — enough to power the world for centuries. According to research led by Geoffrey Ellis of the U.S. Geological Survey, these hidden reserves could supply energy for 1,000 years, drastically reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. This naturally formed geologic hydrogen, estimated at 6.2 trillion tons, has immense potential as a low-carbon energy resource. Here’s the exciting part: tapping into just 2% of these reserves could meet global hydrogen needs for 200 years, helping us achieve critical net-zero goals. But there’s work to be done. Much of this hydrogen is buried deep or offshore, and scaling extraction will require global collaboration and innovation. Still, the energy contained in these reserves exceeds all proven natural gas deposits, making it a promising path toward a sustainable future. What do you think? Could geologic hydrogen be the key to a cleaner energy era? #Sustainability #Innovation #CleanEnergy #Hydrogen #FutureOfEnergy
