Die Logistik Startup Szene hat turbulente 10 Jahre hinter sich. Prof. Martin Schwemmer beschreibt diese Entwicklung als einen "Hype Cycle". Im Gespräch mit unserem Host Boris Felgendreher erklärt er die Hintergründe für die Entwicklung der Logistik Startup Szene in Deutschland und gibt einen Ausblick für die Zukunft. Unter anderem geht es um folgende Themen: Rückblick auf 10 Jahre Logistik-Startups: - 2014: Deutlicher Anstieg an Neugründungen (>30), z. B. ProGlove, Flaschenpost, Magazino. - 2016–2017: Boomphase mit vielen Gründungen (u. a. Sennder, Forto/FreightHub). - 2020–2021: Höhepunkt mit Einhorn-Startups (Sennder, Forto), stark durch Corona beeinflusst. - Ab 2022: Deutlicher Rückgang – Insolvenzen (z. B. Convoy), Entlassungswellen, weniger Investments. - 2024/2025: Tal der Enttäuschung im Hype-Cycle erreicht – aber gleichzeitig Konsolidierung und Reifung. Learnings & Reife der Branche: - Frühere Annahmen (z. B. schnelle Skalierung durch Digitalisierung) waren oft falsch. - Sales-Zyklen in der Logistik sind lang (6–18 Monate) → langsames Wachstum. - Plattformmodelle (z. B. Matching von Truckern und Aufträgen) sind komplexer als gedacht. Finanzierungsbedingungen heute: - Mehr Professionalität: Investoren fordern frühere Rentabilität. - Spezialisierte VCs (z. B. Prequel Ventures, Rethink Ventures), kleinere Tickets, fokussiertes Wachstum. - Bootstrapping gewinnt leicht an Relevanz, aber dominiert nicht. USA vs. Deutschland: - US-Startups skalieren schneller durch größeren Binnenmarkt und aggressivere Hustle-Kultur. - Deutschland: kleinerer Markt, fragmentiertes Europa, andere rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen. - Erfolgreiche US-Modelle (z. B. Uber Freight) nicht 1:1 übertragbar → oft Übernahme durch deutsche Startups (z. B. Sennder übernimmt Tech von Uber Freight). Rolle neuer Technologien: - KI und Robotics noch keine "kambrische Explosion" – viel Potenzial, aber noch keine breite Umsetzung. - Aktuell eher Repackaging alter Ideen als echte Innovation. - Erwartung: In den kommenden Jahren bessere, tragfähigere Anwendungen. Zukunftstreiber & angrenzende Bereiche: - Militärtechnologie als Katalysator (z. B. Drohnen, autonome Fahrzeuge, IoT, humanoide Roboter). - Entwicklungen im Militärbereich werden mittelfristig auch die Logistik stark beeinflussen. Fazit & Ausblick: - Trotz "Tal der Enttäuschung" ist das Zukunftspotenzial hoch. - Die Szene ist heute professioneller, realistischer und widerstandsfähiger. - Neue Technologien (KI, Blockchain, Robotics) werden weitere Zyklen auslösen. - Nicht vom Hype oder Anti-Hype leiten lassen – sondern informiert entscheiden. Hilfreiche Links: Martin Schwemmer ist Professor für Internationale Verkehrsbetriebswirtschaft und Logistik an der Hochschule Heilbronn. 2021 promovierte er zum Erfolg von Start-Ups in der Logistik. Neben Start- Ups und Innovationen liegt sein Blick auf den Herausforderungen und Trends des Supply Chain Management. Vor der Professur war er 2022/2023 Geschäftsführer der Bundesvereinigung Logistik e.V. und davor über zehn Jahre bei der Fraunhofer Forschungsgesellschaft als Wissenschaftler und Consultant in der Logistikmarktbeobachtung und Logistikmarktvermessung aktiv, u.a. als Autor der Studienreihe „Die Top 100 der Logistik“, die sich zum Standardwerk zur Beschreibung und Analyse der Logistikbranche entwickelt hat.

Hat KI das Tal der Enttäuschung schon überwunden?: Ein Blick auf den Hype-Cycle   Künstliche Intelligenz ist in der Gesellschaft angekommen – das ist mittlerweile unbestreitbar. Doch wo stehen wir wirklich? Sind wir noch auf dem aufsteigenden Ast oder bereits mitten im "Tal der Enttäuschung"? In dieser Episode werfen wir gemeinsam mit Michael einen Blick auf den Gartner-Hype-Cycle und ordnen die aktuelle Entwicklung von KI ein. Michael Schmid auf LinkedIn: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelschmid-ki/   Wo steht KI im Hype-Cycle? Der Gartner-Hype-Cycle ist ein bewährtes Modell, um die Entwicklung und Marktreife neuer Technologien zu bewerten. Doch kann man wirklich von „DER“ KI sprechen? Oder müsste jede Anwendung, jedes Tool und jeder Bereich der künstlichen Intelligenz individuell betrachtet werden? Gerade Sprachmodelle zeigen beeindruckende Fortschritte in Recherchefähigkeit, Formulierungen und der Reduktion von Halluzinationen. In anderen Bereichen hingegen sind wir noch weit vom angestrebten Reifegrad entfernt.   Das Tal der Enttäuschung – schon überwunden? Viele Nutzer empfinden KI als bahnbrechend, während andere sich immer noch im Spannungsfeld zwischen Erwartungen und Realität bewegen. Trotz großer Ankündigungen – Stichwort KI-Agents – gibt es immer wieder Momente der Ernüchterung. Sind wir also schon durch das "Tal der Enttäuschung" hindurch? Oder steht uns die größte Ernüchterung noch bevor?   Fazit: Die Reife von KI ist differenziert zu betrachten Die künstliche Intelligenz entwickelt sich rasant, aber nicht in allen Bereichen gleich schnell. Während manche Anwendungen bereits reifen und in den Alltag integriert werden, stecken andere noch in den Kinderschuhen. Klar ist: Wir haben das Plateau der Produktivität noch nicht erreicht, und die spannende Entwicklung geht weiter.     Noch mehr von den Koertings ...  Das KI-Café ... jede Woche Mittwoch (>350 Teilnehmer) von 08:30 bis 10:00 Uhr ... online via Zoom .. kostenlos und nicht umsonstJede Woche Mittwoch um 08:30 Uhr öffnet das KI-Café seine Online-Pforten ... wir lösen KI-Anwendungsfälle live auf der Bühne ... moderieren Expertenpanel zu speziellen Themen (bspw.

Cultivated meat's “trough of disillusionment”

Between 2013 and 2023, cultivated meat companies raised a total of nearly $3 billion. In 2020, Singapore approved the world's first cultivated meat products, with the U.S. and Israel following close behind.  But head to the meat department of any American grocery store today, and you won't find cultivated meat for sale. After short-lived restaurant tasting menus in the U.S., it's no longer available. Distribution in Singapore is growing but small, and no products have launched in Israel yet.  So what happened to the high hopes for cultivated meat? And what comes next for the industry? In this episode, Shayle talks to Isha Datar, executive director of New Harvest, a non-profit focused on developing research in the industry. She has written blog posts arguing that the industry is in the start-up hype cycle's “trough of disillusionment.” She calls for focusing on basic research, targeting high-value products, and even adopting a different name — cellular agriculture — to signal a shift toward a broader set of biotech products and techniques. Shayle and Isha cover topics like: What went wrong with the first-generation startups focused on low-value, whole-meat products like beef and chicken Persistent challenges in the industry, like the siloing of expertise, scarcity of research funding, and lack of standardization  Why she's hopeful about a more diverse second generation that's focused on high-value products like sashimi and foie gras and biotech ingredients like fetal bovine serum and cell culture media The cellular agriculture cost stack and the $30,000 batch of cookies  Basic research, shared resources, and the standardization needed to bring down costs Recommended resources New Harvest: Where Are We On the Hype Cycle? Part I and Part II The Counter: Lab-grown meat is supposed to be inevitable. The science tells a different story.

AI's Hype Cycle and the Future of Intelligent Communications: A Conversation with Ray Pasquale at ITEXPO, Unified Office Podcast

"AI is in a typical hype cycle—everyone is using it, but few understand how," said Ray Pasquale, Founder and CEO of Unified Office, in a discussion with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, at ITExpo. In this podcast, Pasquale explains how AI adoption follows Gartner's S-curve, with an initial surge of enthusiasm, followed by disillusionment, before settling into practical, productive applications. He pointed out that many businesses adopt AI without a clear strategy simply because they feel pressured to do so. "Your boss asks, ‘What are we doing about AI?' and the answer is often just, ‘We're using ChatGPT,' without knowing how or why," he said. At Unified Office, Pasquale and his team aim to bypass the AI hype and focus on practical applications that drive real business outcomes. The company specializes in vertical market solutions, with a strong presence in the restaurant industry and other service-based sectors. A Unified Office customer in attendance at ITExpo underscored this approach, expressing appreciation for the company's ability to simplify complex AI challenges. Regulatory Uncertainty and the Future of AI Pasquale also addressed the regulatory challenges surrounding AI, including pending copyright lawsuits against OpenAI and concerns over how large language models (LLMs) are trained. "There are lawsuits over AI scraping content from major publishers, and now federal and state regulators are stepping in to determine accountability," he said. Looking ahead, Pasquale predicted significant changes in AI's role in business communications, particularly regarding Agent AI, which operates with autonomous decision-making. "That's going to be the first thing regulators clamp down on," he noted, contrasting it with AI-driven chatbots, which are more controlled and purpose-driven. EngageIQ and the Future of Voice Intelligence Unified Office is also expanding its EngageIQ platform, adding a classification and prompting engine to enhance AI-driven customer interactions. Voice-based AI solutions are an emerging focus, with new technologies capable of classifying conversations in real time. "Imagine listening to this conversation and automatically categorizing key topics—California regulations, Agent AI, federal policy—all mapped out in a dashboard," Pasquale explained. As Unified Office continues to refine AI applications for enterprise use, Pasquale remains optimistic about its potential—when properly implemented. "There's no guardrail on this thing yet," he warned about AI's rapid evolution, emphasizing the need for responsible deployment and strategic focus.

Startups are built on grit, vision, and — surprisingly — a lot of peer advice. In this episode, I sat down with Mallory Contois, Head of Community at Mercury and leader of Mercury Raise, their founder success platform. Drawing from their latest survey, Mallory shares eye-opening insights about how early-stage entrepreneurs navigate challenges like fundraising, hiring, and customer acquisition. Why do founders rely more on peer networks and podcasts like this one than their VCs for operational advice? Mallory explains the unique psychology that makes it hard for founders to admit uncertainty to their investors and why angel investors often provide more operational value than institutional funds. We also discuss key survey findings, including the evolving AI landscape, the benefits of accelerators, and how lean teams are reshaping what's possible in a startup.  Whether you're building your first company or gearing up for the next funding round, this episode offers actionable insights and a fresh take on founder dynamics in today's startup ecosystem.

Our guest on this week's episode is Dwight Klappich, research vice president and Gartner Fellow at consultancy Gartner, Inc. There is tremendous interest in the growth of robotics and drone applications now being deployed in distribution operations. Is the hype and attention they have received warranted?  Klappich defines the "hype cycle" and how it can be a useful tool for determining when is the right time to adopt new automation technologies.A new report out this week reveals that global forklift sales are sputtering. Lift truck sales are even falling short of their initial forecasts for 2024, according to Interact Analysis, a British consulting firm. That group has now revised their forecast for global forklift sales growth for 2024 down to just 0.3%, which is basically flat. We explain why sales have not met expectations, which sectors are most affected, and prospects for the future.Many logistics and supply chain leaders are focused on reorganizing their supply chains these days—but as they do so, they should be careful to avoid common pitfalls that can derail their efforts. That's according to recent research from Gartner that identifies critical organizational design mistakes that will prevent supply chain leaders from delivering on business goals. The research revealed that the most successful projects radically redesign supply chain structure based on distinct organizational needs, while prioritizing balance, strength, and speed as key business objectives. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A series of ten episodes is now available on the "State of Logistics." The episodes provide in-depth looks into the current states of key transportation modes, such as trucking, rail, air, and ocean.

Taking unproven routes can lead to exciting new possibilities. However, it could also lead to potential failure. That's what makes life interesting, isn't it?  Optimistic thinking has led to groundbreaking achievements, like the moon landing in the 1960s. However, it's important to strike a balance between hope and realism.  In today's episode, we explore the concept of optimism bias and how it plays a role in the "AI Hype Cycle." We discuss the pros and cons of optimism and why it can be risky and rewarding.  For those of you who don't watch MBA videos as a hobby, this video summarizes the Hype Cycle's importance and how it relates to the recent trend toward leveraging Big Data.  So, what is this hype cycle we keep referring to?  The Gartner Hype Cycle maps out the lifecycle of new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). Starting with initial media excitement, the Hype Cycle often leads to inflated expectations, followed by disillusionment as challenges arise. However, innovation doesn't stop there. As understanding improves, we reach a more balanced "slope of enlightenment," eventually leading to the "plateau of productivity," where technology adoption becomes more widespread and realistic. The discussion touches on AI's current status in the Hype Cycle, questioning whether we are at a turning point where initial optimism is waning. Some organizations overestimate the short-term benefits of AI, hoping it will be the silver bullet to solve all their problems, only to face disappointment when things don't work out as expected.  Like many other innovations, AI is more complex to implement than initially imagined, and optimism can sometimes blind organizations to its true limitations. Managing expectations is key: while optimism is necessary to drive change and innovation, one must temper it with caution and realistic planning.  Ultimately, this episode encourages listeners to temper optimism with practicality regarding new technologies like AI. Small, calculated risks are encouraged, but organizations should avoid placing all their bets on one solution. Balance is key to navigating the Hype Cycle successfully. More Key Points Discussed in This Episode: Understanding the pros and cons of optimism bias in business decision-making. An overview of the Gartner Hype Cycle and how it applies to AI. Why the initial excitement around AI may not meet short-term expectations. The risk of overhyping new technologies and the consequences of inflated expectations.

Subscribe to our newsletter at https://aidaily.us AI can't learn new things forever — an algorithm can fix that AIs based on deep learning struggle with continuous learning, often failing to adapt to new tasks. Researchers have discovered that "waking up" dormant neurons in these systems can help them keep learning indefinitely. This algorithmic reset could make future AI systems more adaptable and flexible, addressing a significant limitation in current deep learning models. Is AI Coming for Coders' Jobs? AI is reshaping developer workflows but is far from replacing human coders, according to Jason Andersen's analysis. While generative AI can handle specific tasks, it lacks the creativity and adaptability required for complex coding. AI tools are evolving to enhance productivity by taking over routine tasks, but developers remain essential for innovation and problem-solving. An ‘AI Scientist' Is Inventing and Running Its Own Experiments Researchers at the University of British Columbia have developed an "AI scientist" capable of designing, running, and refining its own experiments. While current results are modest, this open-ended learning approach could eventually lead to breakthroughs beyond human-guided AI. The challenge remains to ensure these AI systems operate safely as their capabilities grow. Silicon Valley Is Coming Out in Force Against an AI-Safety Bill  California State Senator Scott Wiener's Senate Bill 1047, which mandates AI safety regulations for models costing over $100 million to train, faces intense opposition from major tech companies and politicians. Critics argue the bill could stifle innovation and hurt California's economy. Wiener defends the bill as necessary to prevent tangible risks, dismissing claims that it focuses on "science-fiction" threats. Generative AI is Sliding into the 'Trough of Disillusionment' Generative AI has moved past its peak of inflated expectations and is now in the "trough of disillusionment," according to Gartner's 2024 Hype Cycle. Companies are shifting focus from hype to concrete ROI, driving interest towards autonomous AI agents. While generative AI's long-term potential remains significant, the industry must overcome current challenges to achieve widespread productivity gains. AI Companies Pitch Political Campaigns, But Few Are Interested Despite a surge in AI tools offered by over 30 tech companies for the 2024 U.S. elections, political campaigns have been largely hesitant to adopt them. Some candidates who tried AI-backed services, like robocalls, found that voters were not receptive, leading campaigns to shy away from the technology.

Minter Dialogue with Torsten Hoffmann Torsten Hoffmann, a filmmaker and techno optimist with a passion for emerging technologies. Torsten's journey from Munich to Melbourne and finally to London is as fascinating as his career in documentary filmmaking. His insights into the world of artificial intelligence and space exploration are not to be missed. From Business Deals to Filmmaking Torsten's transition from the business side of documentaries to becoming a filmmaker himself is a story of curiosity and passion. Initially involved in selling documentary packages to platforms like Netflix and Samsung, he realised that filmmaking was not an insurmountable challenge. His first documentary on bitcoin, inspired by his academic work on alternative currencies, marked the beginning of his journey into the world of documentaries. Despite its modest budget, the film's success set the stage for his future projects. The Allure of Space Torsten's latest documentary, "Fortitude," delves into the burgeoning space industry. He discusses the various facets of space exploration, from the geopolitical motivations of the past to the current commercialisation efforts. The film explores the economic potential of space, highlighting the significant reduction in costs and the technological advancements that are making space more accessible. The Hype Cycle and Timing One of the key themes Torsten touches upon is the importance of timing in the success of technological ventures. Using the example of bitcoin and the space industry, he explains how being at the right place at the right time can lead to viral success. His films mirror the hype cycles of the technologies they cover, capturing the zeitgeist and riding the wave of public interest. The Future of Space Exploration Torsten's optimism about the future of space is tempered by concerns about space debris and the potential for geopolitical conflicts. However, he remains hopeful about the scientific and commercial opportunities that space offers. His film "Fortitude" aims to inspire a new generation of space enthusiasts and highlight the economic potential of space technologies. The Art of Documentary Filmmaking Creating a documentary is a labour of love for Torsten. He invests his own time and money, often without a script, allowing the project to evolve organically. This approach, while risky, results in a more authentic and engaging film. His dedication to capturing detailed and factual content sets his work apart in a landscape often dominated by lighter, less rigorous productions. The Role of Space in Everyday Life Torsten's insights into the practical applications of space technology are eye-opening. From improving agricultural practices to tracking environmental changes, the data provided by satellites has far-reaching implications. He emphasises the importance of understanding these technologies, not just for their scientific value but for their potential to transform industries and improve lives. Looking Ahead As Torsten prepares for the release of "Fortitude," he is already contemplating his next project, which will focus on artificial intelligence and the future of work. His commitment to exploring cutting-edge technologies and their impact on society ensures that his future films will continue to be both informative and thought-provoking. For those interested in watching "Fortitude," it will be available on Apple TV, Amazon, and Torsten's own website. Engaging with his work through these platforms not only supports independent filmmaking but also provides an opportunity to delve deeper into the fascinating world of space exploration.

Bonjour from day one of the annual Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and the kick-off of the Digiday Cannes podcast. Ahead of this year's rosé-induced festivities, Hilton CMO Mark Weinstein, a Cannes Lions veteran attendee, joins us for the first episode of Digiday's week-long podcast series. Last year's generative artificial intelligence hype cycle hasn't quite fizzled out yet It's expected not only to show up this year, says Weinstein, but drown out other conversations. No doubt, marketers have found uses for gen AI beyond social copy and internal content creation, but it's yet to be said if AI will reach an inflection point for brand at this year's Lions. “Unfortunately, a lot of the conversation will be just blustering and hot air,” Weinstein said. “We're not yet at a point where any of us know, including the people building the capabilities by the way, where this ends.” Tune in to hear how Hilton is using AI internally and how Weinstein says the industry should be talking about AI at this year's Cannes Lions on the Digiday Podcast at Cannes. And Make sure to tune in tomorrow for the next Digiday podcast at Cannes.

Join 2,500+ readers getting weekly practical guidance to scale themselves and their companies using Artificial Intelligence and Revenue Cheat Codes.   Explore becoming Superhuman here: https://superhumanrevenue.beehiiv.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS AI is a generational technology, potentially bigger than the internet, but currently in a massive hype cycle similar to the dot-com era. Most current AI ideas are basic integrations into existing workflows, not reimagining the workflow, and are likely to be disrupted. Joining an AI company now provides valuable experience, even if 90% fail, as the winners will scoop up experienced talent. The AI technology creating operational efficiency in the short term may not be the same as the disruptors redefining industries over the next decade. Understanding prompting, the foundation of AI language is crucial for developing micro-workflows, agents, and eventually autonomous swarms. The innovator's dilemma and appropriate beachhead selection are key concepts for AI startups to consider when building for the long-term vision. RevOps, once seen as supporting humans, may flip to AI doing the job with humans tweaking and refining. Technical issues like hallucinations and latency will likely be ironed out as the technology matures, revealing AI's true potential. BEST MOMENTS "I've never had more conviction for my students that come up to me. Like, 'Hey, what's up? Professor, like what, what should I do? Like, I want to be, I want to go into startups. Like, what should I do?' And I, I've always had like different opinions. I was like, do you have to go to AI? Like every tech company is going to, in like six years is going to be native AI. You have to get that experience now." "I think all the tea leaves are similar to like 1997. Let's not forget that in that time, we dialled up to the internet using AOL, launched a Netscape browser and did searches through AltaVista, right? Where are those companies? Lycos, right? Is, is, is, yeah, is OpenAI Netscape or is it Google? Like we got to figure that out, right?" "The AI technology that's going to create significant operational efficiency and growth this year and next for companies, especially these bigger companies that my CROs are from is not going to be the trillion dollar new company that disrupts the space." "I've kind of come to the conclusion that the AI companies, vendors, technology that is going to create the most operational efficiency, even for our start-ups in the next year is not going to be the same AI technology company, et cetera, that becomes the disruptor over the next decade and redefines the sales and martech sector." "RevOps has become huge, didn't even exist 15 years ago. And for the most part, RevOps is seen as an organization that supports the humans to do their job. And that flips with what you're saying. Is, at some point, it flips where RevOps does the job and humans there to tweak it."

Episode SummaryThe recent downturn in semiconductor and AI-related stocks has sparked concerns about a bubble. The volatility in these stocks can be attributed to the unpredictability of retail investors and traders. The market is experiencing a correction, but it does not indicate a slowdown in AI. The hype around AI has been tempered by the realization that progress is slower than expected. The energy constraint is a topic of discussion, but improvements in hardware and software will continue to address this issue. The future of AI depends on the balance between compute power and energy efficiency.

In this episode, Ricardo talks about the hype cycle, which was first used in relation to technology but is also applicable to project management. He describes how projects go through phases of exhilaration that peak upon release, problems, and disillusionment. This cycle is like how technology hype, like that surrounding the 2022 introduction of ChatGPT, unfolds. As a project manager, Ricardo stresses the significance of traversing this cycle, admitting the early exhilaration, overcoming obstacles and disappointments, and eventually achieving productivity. He provides the example of building a tunnel when the reality of impediments replaces the initial thrill. Considering shifting goals and hype, Ricardo offers guidance on embracing and managing the cyclical nature of projects in his conclusion. Listen to the podcast to know more.

Jesse Karmazin's Ambrosia Plasma clinic promised the fountain of youth, two litres of young plasma at a time. For a fee, anyone could go to his treatment centre in the redwood forest outside Silicon Valley and receive an infusion. The results - according to Karmazin - were remarkable. Silicon Valley billionaires were rumoured to be queuing up for their young blood. The problem was, the scientists whose work in mice he claimed to be bringing to the people disagreed with what he was doing, and he never backed up his claims with data. A journalist stepped in to investigate, and what she found was Silicon Valley hype without any substance. In this series, technology reporter and psychologist Aleks Krotoski explores the frontiers of the extreme longevity pioneers. They've made their money in Silicon Valley. And with their technology solutions - PayPal, Facebook, cryptocurrencies - they've ushered in the world that we live in today, with all its unintended consequences.
