Current publications of the Academy of German World Market Leaders
The three from one class:
Würth, Sturm, Berner
Once upon a time there were three classmates who each made it to world market leader: Reinhold Würth, Gerhard Sturm and Albert Berner. Instead of becoming teachers, pastors or butchers, they founded companies that enjoy international recognition today and stand for the successful model of German family businesses. Then as now: a class of its own! The triple biography with background information on the region of the world market leaders and a unique interview.

Future country Germany
Among the many abilities of the Germans, one is particularly developed: badmouthing one's own performance. In recent years, there have been complaints everywhere: backlogs in digitization and in the field of quantum computing, too few start-ups, a lack of recycling management, a sleepy future for the automotive industry. It is high time to take a firm and justifiable stand against this!
