Machen Sie mit uns eine Zeitreise in den März 1991 – ein echtes Scharnierjahr für die Gesellschaft und die Informationsbranche. Das Internet, wie wir es heute kennen, war noch reine Zukunftsmusik, digitale Informationen waren ein teurer Exklusivclub für Profis und die große neue Technologie war die CD-ROM. Anhand einer historischen Ausgabe der Fachzeitschrift "Password" beleuchtet diese Folge die Umbrüche und Meilensteine dieser Zeit.
Die wichtigsten Themen der Folge im Überblick:
Wendezeit zwischen Abbruch und Goldgräberstimmung: Die deutsche Einheit stellte die Branche vor enorme Herausforderungen. Während ostdeutsche Institutionen wie Infoxpert Berlin massive Stellenkürzungen hinnehmen mussten, entstand gleichzeitig ein riesiger Qualifizierungsbedarf. Für Datenanbieter ergab sich ein wahrer "Gold Rush": Der gigantische Sanierungsbedarf im Osten schuf eine enorme Nachfrage nach Fachinformationen, was Firmen wie Akonis zu einer massiven Expansion in die neuen Bundesländer nutzten.
Vom "Knöpfchendrücker" zum strategischen Berater: Das Berufsbild des Information Professionals wandelte sich. Da Endnutzern oft das Know-how für die komplexen Systeme fehlte, wurden Informationsspezialisten zunehmend zu Beratern und Trainern im eigenen Unternehmen. Vorreiter waren hier Konzerne wie die Volkswagen AG, die elektronische Daten bereits zur strategischen Unternehmenssteuerung im Einkauf nutzten.
Der "Spiegel" und die Angst um die Datenhoheit: Die Dokumentationsabteilung des "Spiegel" war als legendäres Rückgrat der Redaktion unverzichtbar für die Faktenprüfung. Technologisch stand man jedoch auf der Bremse: Aus Angst, die Kontrolle über den eigenen Datenschatz zu verlieren und der Konkurrenz zu helfen, zögerte die Leitung massiv, das Archiv auf CD-ROM zu veröffentlichen.
Geplatzte Träume und leere Messehallen: Nicht alles war ein Erfolg. Die Messe "Online 91" in Hamburg entpuppte sich als absoluter Flop mit teils nur drei Zuhörern pro Sitzung. Auch amerikanische Giganten wie CompuServe hatten in Europa einen schweren Start, da das in den USA etablierte Modell der Kreditkartenabrechnung hier noch kaum verbreitet war.
Mühsame Patentrecherche und umstrittene Förderungen: Die Suche nach Patenten bestand noch zu 80 % aus purer Handarbeit in Papierarchiven, da wichtige technische Zeichnungen in den Datenbanken fehlten. Staatliche Initiativen wie das Förderprogramm "Mikum" sollten kleinen Betrieben den Zugang erleichtern, wurden von der Zeitschrift "Password" jedoch wegen fehlender Neutralität und der kompletten Ignoranz der neuen CD-ROM-Technologie scharf kritisiert.
Das verblüffende Fazit: Beim Blick in die Vergangenheit zeigt sich, wie aktuell die Themen von 1991 heute noch sind. Die Angst vor dem Jobverlust durch neue Technologien, der Kampf um die Datenhoheit und die Herausforderungen in der Bedienung neuer Systeme sind exakt die Debatten, die wir heute wieder führen – nur dass das Schlagwort heute nicht mehr "CD-ROM", sondern "Künstliche Intelligenz" lautet.

In this episode of The Northern Economy Perspective, Nora Lindholm explores a striking paradox in the Nordic energy transition: electricity in Scandinavia has rarely been cleaner — and rarely cheaper.
The integrated Nordic electricity market, covering Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, produces more than 430 terawatt hours of electricity each year. With consumption slightly lower, the region consistently exports large volumes of renewable power to neighbouring European markets. Hydropower, wind energy and nuclear power together make the Nordic electricity system one of the cleanest in the world, with more than 90 percent low-carbon generation.
Yet this success is creating new economic dynamics. When large volumes of renewable electricity enter the market simultaneously, supply can exceed demand and wholesale prices fall sharply. Energy economists describe this phenomenon as value cannibalisation — a situation where renewable generation reduces its own market value.
In the episode, Nora examines the structure of the Nordic electricity market, the role of hydropower flexibility, and the growing importance of cross-border energy trade with Germany and other European countries. She also highlights innovative approaches emerging in Finland, where smart meters, dynamic tariffs and electric boilers help absorb excess electricity and stabilise the system.
For investors, policymakers and business leaders, the Nordic electricity market offers a glimpse into the future of the global energy transition.

Welcome to the infobrokerworld News Update, where we bring you the latest insights from the German market…..
Today is March 13th 2026.
My Name is Ray Cooks the AI voice of the infobrokerworld Audio Line.….
and here are today's top stories.
Germany’s business outlook is sending mixed but important signals. On one side, the country is regaining appeal as a stable destination for investors in a highly uncertain global environment. On the other, the labor market is becoming a real growth constraint, with a shrinking workforce raising concerns about future capacity and competitiveness.
In banking, Deutsche Bank is back in the spotlight. A major legal claim from former bankers and fresh scrutiny around its private credit exposure are keeping risk management firmly on the agenda. Investors, meanwhile, are moving more carefully, favoring defensive stocks and reliable dividend names.
Corporate updates also show a divided picture. Zalando is benefiting from its use of AI, posting strong growth and winning support from the market. BMW remains resilient, but weaker earnings confirm that pressure on the auto industry is far from over. Allianz is also reshaping its leadership, signaling long-term strategic planning.
The broader challenge is cost pressure. Higher oil prices, more expensive chips, and energy concerns are feeding directly into business sentiment across Germany.
That's today's business update. Thanks for tuning in to Business Insights. See you next time!

German defense contractor Rheinmetall is seeing unprecedented demand. Its order backlog has surged to around sixty-four billion euros, reflecting strong global military investment and signaling robust future revenues for the company.
Meanwhile, capital markets are sending mixed signals. Amazon has successfully raised twelve and a half billion euros in its debut euro bond issuance, highlighting strong investor appetite. At the same time, analysts warn that the booming private credit sector may face rising defaults, potentially affecting broader financial stability.
Several major German companies are navigating difficult transitions. Pharmaceutical supplier Gerresheimer is under pressure following an accounting scandal that triggered a dramatic collapse in its share price. Automaker Porsche is preparing possible cost-cutting measures after a weak year, while Mercedes-Benz is betting on a new electric luxury van to revive sales in its van division.
Finally, energy markets remain a key concern. Rising oil and gas prices are fueling inflation worries, leaving the European Central Bank cautious about potential interest-rate cuts in the near future.
That’s all for today’s update. We’ll be back soon with the latest in business and markets.

German carmaker Volkswagen is under pressure after reporting a sharp decline in profits. The company’s operating margin has fallen to levels last seen during the diesel crisis. Weak demand in China, restructuring costs at subsidiary Porsche, and growing geopolitical uncertainty are weighing on performance. CEO Oliver Blume is responding with stricter cost-cutting measures to stabilize profitability.
Meanwhile, Renault is preparing a major transformation. CEO François Provost plans to accelerate development cycles and significantly reduce costs. The strategy includes the use of humanoid robots in manufacturing and the launch of up to sixteen new electric vehicles as the company pushes deeper into electrification.
Germany’s cooperative banking sector is showing resilience. Volksbanken and Raiffeisenbanken reported record pre-tax profits for 2025, despite several internal support cases for struggling member institutions. The group now plans a tougher approach toward weaker banks.
In the technology sector, European AI start-up Legora has raised 550 million dollars, becoming one of the most valuable AI companies in Europe. At the same time, AI pioneer Yann LeCun is challenging the industry’s focus on large language models.
Finally, new geothermal technologies developed by innovative start-ups could help unlock a largely untapped source of clean energy.

Global markets are facing renewed volatility as the Iran war pushes oil prices above one hundred dollars per barrel. The surge in energy costs is putting pressure on European industry and raising concerns about inflation. At the same time, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has become riskier, increasing insurance premiums and threatening global supply chains.
Stock markets are reacting nervously. Germany’s DAX index has already dropped around ten percent from its recent high. Some investors see the correction as a potential entry point, but analysts warn that geopolitical risks and rising energy prices could lead to further market swings in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, corporate developments reflect a mixed picture. Berlin-based fintech N26 reported a loss of forty-two million euros for 2024, despite higher interest and commission revenues. In another sector, defense supplier Gabler achieved a successful stock market debut in Frankfurt, highlighting strong investor demand for European defense companies.
At the same time, innovation continues in the industrial sector. ABB Robotics is partnering with Nvidia to develop artificial-intelligence technology that could significantly improve the training of industrial robots and boost productivity across manufacturing.
And that’s a look at today’s economic developments. Until next time, take care and stay informed.

In supermarkets across the United Kingdom, a surprising product has become a symbol of a deeper economic trend: chocolate. What used to be a simple snack at the checkout counter is now increasingly locked behind anti-theft security boxes.
In this episode, Clara Murphy reports from London on the economic forces behind the rising wave of retail theft in Britain. According to industry data, the UK records millions of shoplifting incidents every year, and chocolate has become one of the most frequently stolen products in supermarkets. Retailers report significant financial losses as organised groups and opportunistic thieves target small, high-demand items that can easily be resold.
But the story goes far beyond retail security. The podcast explores how rising food prices, global commodity markets and the cocoa supply crisis have transformed chocolate into a more valuable commodity. Since 2022, food prices in the UK have risen sharply, with inflation peaking at nearly 20 percent in 2023. At the same time, cocoa prices surged globally due to supply disruptions and climate-related harvest failures in West Africa.
The episode also examines how retailers and governments are responding. From anti-theft packaging and advanced CCTV systems to controversial facial recognition technology powered by artificial intelligence, supermarkets are investing heavily in new security measures.
Behind the locked chocolate bars lies a broader story about inflation, organised retail crime and the transformation of everyday retail.

Welcome to the infobrokerworld News Update, where we bring you the latest insights from the German market…..
Today is March 9th 2026.
My Name is Ray Cooks the AI voice of the infobrokerworld Audio Line.….
and here are today's top stories.
Germany’s Deutsche Bank is facing an unexpected leadership change in its corporate banking division. Co-head Ole Matthiessen has stepped down, and Gerald Podobnik, previously the unit’s chief financial officer, is taking over immediately. The move is designed to maintain stability in one of the bank’s most important revenue segments.
In the media industry, Axel Springer is expanding internationally. The German publishing group has agreed to acquire the British Telegraph Group, publisher of the well-known Daily Telegraph, for around 660 million euros. The deal strengthens Springer’s global media footprint.
Meanwhile, competition in the semiconductor market may intensify. Japanese automotive supplier Denso is planning to acquire chipmaker Rohm, potentially creating a strong new rival for European companies like Infineon and Bosch.
Germany’s logistics sector is also evolving. Fiege Logistik, a long-established family company, is investing heavily in digital technology and data analysis to optimize warehouse operations and transport networks.
And finally, global markets remain cautious. Rising oil prices and tensions in the Middle East are increasing cost pressure for retailers and airlines, while investors closely monitor developments in private credit markets after BlackRock restricted withdrawals from a major fund.

El Canal de Panamá es una de las infraestructuras más importantes del comercio mundial. Esta vía marítima de aproximadamente 82 kilómetros conecta el océano Atlántico con el Pacífico y se ha convertido en uno de los corredores logísticos más relevantes para la economía global. Cada año miles de buques transportan materias primas, productos agrícolas y bienes industriales a través de esta ruta estratégica.
En este episodio de The South America Brief, la analista de Market Intelligence Camila Perez analiza la importancia económica del Canal de Panamá para las cadenas globales de suministro y para las economías exportadoras de Sudamérica.
Entre el cinco y el seis por ciento del comercio marítimo mundial pasa por esta vía. Para países de la costa pacífica como Chile, Perú, Ecuador y Colombia, el canal representa una conexión fundamental con los mercados de Norteamérica y Europa.
El episodio explora
la historia y construcción del canal
su papel geopolítico durante el siglo veinte
su relevancia para las cadenas de suministro globales
la importancia para las exportaciones sudamericanas
y los desafíos actuales relacionados con sequías y escasez de agua.
Las recientes restricciones de tránsito debido a condiciones climáticas demuestran hasta qué punto el comercio global depende de unos pocos corredores logísticos estratégicos. El Canal de Panamá sigue siendo un nodo central donde convergen geografía, comercio internacional y desarrollo económico.

Dieser Podcast aus der Reihe „Passwortzeitreise“ bietet einen detaillierten, historischen Rückblick auf die Informationsbranche im Jahr 1986, basierend auf der März-Ausgabe des Fachmagazins „Password“. Die Episode beleuchtet die Frühzeit der elektronischen Informationsbeschaffung – eine Zeit vor Suchmaschinen und dem World Wide Web, in der digitale Daten noch in voneinander getrennten, hochspezialisierten Datenbanken isoliert waren.
Zentrale Themen der Episode:
Marktdominanz und Nutzerstrukturen: Mitte der 1980er Jahre war der Markt für Online-Informationen stark US-dominiert. Entgegen heutiger Erwartungen lag der Schwerpunkt nicht in der Wissenschaft, sondern im Finanz- und Wirtschaftssektor. Anbieter wie CompuServe oder Dow Jones & Co. hatten bereits Hunderttausende Nutzer, während wissenschaftliche Datenbanken deutlich kleinere Nutzerzahlen aufwiesen. Deutschland versuchte unterdessen, mit Projekten wie der Export-Datenbank GTEX auf dem US-Markt Fuß zu fassen.
Die Pionierrolle der Chemie: Die Chemie nahm bei der Digitalisierung eine Vorreiterrolle ein, da sich chemische Strukturformeln als universelle Sprache ideal für Datenbankabfragen eigneten. Der amerikanische Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) verfügte 1986 bereits über Millionen digitalisierter Dokumente und dominierte den Markt, während Deutschland, das früher mit Standardwerken wie dem Gmelin- oder Beilstein-Handbuch führend war, den Anschluss suchte.
Technische Hürden und Datenqualität: Die praktische Nutzung der Datenbanken in Unternehmen (wie am Beispiel des Henkel-Konzerns gezeigt) war extrem komplex. Es fehlte eine einheitliche Abfragesprache, sodass für jeden Anbieter eigene Kommandos erlernt werden mussten. Gravierende Mängel in der Datenqualität erschwerten die Arbeit zusätzlich: US-Datenbanken waren oft mit deutschen Umlauten überfordert, was allein für „Frankfurt am Main“ zu mindestens 54 falschen Schreibweisen und potenziell unvollständigen Recherchen führte.
Enorme Kosten: Online-Recherchen waren 1986 hochgradig budgetrelevant. Neben Grund- und Telekommunikationsgebühren fielen Minutenpreise von bis zu 10 D-Mark (etwa bei Patentdatenbanken) sowie zusätzliche Gebühren pro angezeigtem Treffer an. Suchanfragen mussten daher offline exakt vorbereitet und unter höchstem Zeitdruck durchgeführt werden.
Etablierung durch Pioniere und Förderung: Um die teure und komplexe Technologie in den Instituten zu verankern, brauchte es starkes persönliches Engagement – etwa von Pionieren, die gezielt Kollegen als Multiplikatoren (sogenannte „Jünger“) ausbildeten. Flankiert wurde dies von staatlichen Subventionen, wie einem NRW-Förderprogramm, das 1985 jede Recherche mit 20 D-Mark bezuschusste.
Historische Parallelen: Der Podcast schließt mit der Erkenntnis, dass viele heutige Kerndebatten – wie die Sorge vor der Übermacht einzelner Tech-Giganten (damals CAS, heute Google oder Amazon) oder die Frage nach verlässlicher Datenqualität (damals Codierungsfehler, heute Fake News) – bereits 1986 geführt wurden.

Zentrale Themen der Episode:
Marktdominanz und Nutzerstrukturen: Mitte der 1980er Jahre war der Markt für Online-Informationen stark US-dominiert. Entgegen heutiger Erwartungen lag der Schwerpunkt nicht in der Wissenschaft, sondern im Finanz- und Wirtschaftssektor. Anbieter wie CompuServe oder Dow Jones & Co. hatten bereits Hunderttausende Nutzer, während wissenschaftliche Datenbanken deutlich kleinere Nutzerzahlen aufwiesen. Deutschland versuchte unterdessen, mit Projekten wie der Export-Datenbank GTEX auf dem US-Markt Fuß zu fassen.
Die Pionierrolle der Chemie: Die Chemie nahm bei der Digitalisierung eine Vorreiterrolle ein, da sich chemische Strukturformeln als universelle Sprache ideal für Datenbankabfragen eigneten. Der amerikanische Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) verfügte 1986 bereits über Millionen digitalisierter Dokumente und dominierte den Markt, während Deutschland, das früher mit Standardwerken wie dem Gmelin- oder Beilstein-Handbuch führend war, den Anschluss suchte.
Technische Hürden und Datenqualität: Die praktische Nutzung der Datenbanken in Unternehmen (wie am Beispiel des Henkel-Konzerns gezeigt) war extrem komplex. Es fehlte eine einheitliche Abfragesprache, sodass für jeden Anbieter eigene Kommandos erlernt werden mussten. Gravierende Mängel in der Datenqualität erschwerten die Arbeit zusätzlich: US-Datenbanken waren oft mit deutschen Umlauten überfordert, was allein für „Frankfurt am Main“ zu mindestens 54 falschen Schreibweisen und potenziell unvollständigen Recherchen führte.

The Panama Canal is one of the most important logistical corridors in global trade. In this episode of The South America Brief, Market Intelligence Analyst Camila Perez explores the strategic importance of the Panama Canal for international shipping, global supply chains and the export economies of South America.
Around five to six percent of global maritime trade passes through the canal every year. Thousands of vessels transport commodities, agricultural goods and industrial products between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. For countries such as Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia the canal is a key gateway to markets in North America and Europe.
This episode examines the historical development of the canal, its geopolitical role during the twentieth century and the economic significance of the waterway today. It also looks at recent challenges including climate related droughts, water shortages and their impact on global shipping routes.
Key topics include global logistics, maritime trade routes, South American exports, infrastructure economics and climate risks for international shipping.
The South America Brief, hosted by Camila Perez, is your essential podcast for insightful market intelligence, trend analyses, and social-economic developments across Latin America. Each episode delivers clear, concise, and relevant updates on markets, industries, sustainability, trade dynamics, and political-economic shifts shaping the region.

Welcome to the infobrokerworld News Update, where we bring you the latest insights from the German market…..
Today is March 6th 2026.
My Name is Jennifer Bennett the AI voice of the infobrokerworld Audio Line.….
and here are today's top stories.
Germany’s business landscape is showing two very different faces today. In Stuttgart, concerns about industrial decline are growing, yet the city may also become a launchpad for a new wave of founders as former corporate talent moves into entrepreneurship.
In technology, Nvidia is preparing its next growth phase with the new Rubin platform, underlining how fierce the race in semiconductors and AI infrastructure has become. At the same time, shortages in memory chips are driving up costs for cloud providers, and those higher prices are now reaching customers.
Markets are also staying cautious. A stronger US dollar, pressure on emerging markets, and ongoing geopolitical disruption are keeping investors on edge. Companies such as DHL are already adapting, redirecting logistics flows to protect supply chains.
There is movement in finance as well. Revolut is pushing for a US banking license, while Germany’s property and transport sectors remain under close watch through names like LEG and Lufthansa.
And on the labour side, job cuts are creating uncertainty, but also new career paths. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how companies train their workforce.
That’s all for today’s update. We’ll be back soon with the latest in business and markets.

Today is March 5th 2026.
My Name is Ray Cooks the AI voice of the infobrokerworld Audio Line.….
and here are today's top stories.
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar is gaining strength again after months of weakness. Analysts say rising geopolitical uncertainty and demand for safe-haven assets are pushing investors back toward the American currency. At the same time, global financial markets remain volatile, with investors pulling funds from several Asian markets amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
In the crypto space, Bitcoin has crossed the seventy-thousand-dollar mark once again. The move signals renewed investor confidence and growing institutional interest in digital assets, suggesting that the crypto market may be entering another phase of momentum.
In corporate news, German pharmaceutical and agriculture giant Bayer continues to struggle with the financial impact of costly glyphosate settlements. The company is trying to restructure and stabilize its operations while managing legal pressures.
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence developer Anthropic is rapidly expanding. The company is reportedly approaching annual revenues of twenty billion dollars, narrowing the gap with industry leader OpenAI and highlighting the massive global demand for AI technology.
And finally, sportswear company Adidas is preparing a leadership shift, with Egyptian billionaire Nassef Sawiris expected to take over as chairman of the supervisory board.
This concludes today’s business news. Thanks for being with us, and we’ll see you next time.

Welcome to the infobrokerworld News Update, where we bring you the latest insights from the German market…..
Today is February 4th 2026.
My Name is Jennifer Bennett the AI voice of the infobrokerworld Audio Line.….
and here are today's top stories.
Global markets are facing renewed turbulence, and Germany is feeling the pressure. The DAX has dropped sharply, losing about seven percent within just two days. Investors are reacting to rising energy prices, geopolitical tensions, and growing uncertainty about the next steps from the European Central Bank. Stronger inflation data is fueling speculation that interest rates in the eurozone could increase again.
Several major companies are also under pressure. Automotive supplier Schaeffler disappointed investors with its latest figures and restructuring plans, sending the stock sharply lower. Consumer goods giant Beiersdorf experienced a similar shock after issuing a cautious outlook for the coming year. CEO Vincent Warnery warned that a strong recovery is unlikely in the short term.
At the same time, innovation continues to reshape industries. Swedish legal-tech start-up Legora is using artificial intelligence to transform how lawyers work and could soon be valued at more than five billion dollars. In Germany, UMH Systems is developing technology to analyze factory data independently from large cloud providers like Microsoft.
Meanwhile, rising prices for commodities such as whey protein and diesel underline how volatile global markets have become, creating new challenges for both businesses and consumers.
