Gebäude sind große Energieverbraucher und damit auch große Emittenten von Treibhausgasen. Um die Klimaziele zu erreichen, ist die Gebäudeautomation ein wesentlicher Schlüssel - zumal viele Fabriken, Bürogebäude oder Lagerhallen nun per Gesetz nachgerüstet werden müssen. Welche Folgen das hat, aber auch welche Chancen diese Gesetzesverschärfung bietet, erläutern Rainer Haueis, General Manager von Siemens Smart Infrastructure und Peter Hug, Geschäftsführer des VDMA Fachverbands Automation + Management für Haus + Gebäude. Letztendlich lautet das Ziel, einen nachhaltigen Gebäudebetrieb sicherzustellen und die dafür benötigten Technologien stehen bereit. Studien zeigen, dass die Energieeinsparungen durch Gebäudeautomation die benötigten Investitionskosten um ein Vielfaches übersteigen. _______________________ Buildings are major energy consumers and therefore also major emitters of greenhouse gases. Building automation is key to achieving climate targets - especially as many factories, office buildings and warehouses now have to be retrofitted by law. Rainer Haueis, General Manager of Siemens Smart Infrastructure, and Peter Hug, Managing Director of the VDMA Automation + Management Association for House + Building, explain the consequences of this, but also the opportunities offered by this tightening of the law. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure sustainable building operation and the technologies required for this are available. Studies show that the energy savings from building automation exceed the required investment costs many times over. (Podcast in englischer Sprache) Produktion: New Media Art Pictures

Experte für Patente & Lizenzen und treibende Kraft in Innovation und Unternehmertum Peter Hug ist passionierter Erfinder, Inhaber mehrerer Patente und Marken, leidenschaftlicher Unternehmer seit mehr als 25 Jahren, und ein gefragter Innovations-Experte. Als autorisiertes go-Inno Beratungsunternehmen des Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK) hilft Peter und sein Team, Klein- und Mittelständischen Unternehmen (KMU), Selbstständigen und Gründern, Ideen erfolgreich umzusetzen. Nach der technischer Ausbildung und Studium hat Peter Hug, neben seiner Tätigkeit als Leiter der Produktentwicklung eines KMU, ein Executive Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) mit Schwerpunkt Technologie und Innovationsmanagement an der Steinbeis School of Management & Technology abgeschlossen. Danach ging Peter nach Kalifornien, in eine der Innovativesten Wirtschaftsregion der Welt, um Betriebswirtschaft an der Pepperdine University in Los Angeles zu studieren. Währenddessen war Peter Mitglied des Entrepreneurs Club der Graziadio School of Business and Management, und konnte über deren Business Angels Netzwerk bei Pitch Veranstaltungen den Gründerspirit des Silicon Beach live miterleben. Er hat zu dieser Zeit in Santa Monica gelebt und gearbeitet, wo sich derweil Tech Unternehmen wie Snapchat, Yahoo, Dollar-Shave-Club, Hulu oder SpaceX in seiner direkten Nachbarschaft angesiedelt haben. Patente & Lizenzen - Ideen zum Markterfolg bringen Nach einem Abstecher an die Universität St. Gallen (HSG) in der Schweiz, hat Peter mit einem Master of Business Administration (MBA) mit Schwerpunkt Innovation & Entrepreneurship cum laude abgeschlossen. Seither hat Peter mehrere Unternehmen gegründet, Produktideen umgesetzt, und Innovationen erfolgreich an Unternehmen lizenziert. Seit 2016 unterstützt er Unternehmer, KMU Geschäftsführer, und Selbständigen dabei, aus deren Ideen einen Markterfolg zu machen.   Peter`s Geschäftsmodell steht auf 2 Säulen zu Patente & Lizenzen - dem Erfinden, also dem Umsetzen eigener Ideen mithilfe von Lizenznehmern, also etablierte Unternehmer mit vorhandener Unternehmensstruktur, Produktion, Sales, Service etc… - zum anderen unterstütze Peter KMU Geschäftsführer, Unternehmer und Selbständige dabei deren Ideen umzusetzen. Der Schlüssel, um erfolgreich zu Innovieren ist möglichst viele Ideen zu validieren, testen und umzusetzen. Clayton Christiansen von der Harvard Universität hat einmal in einer Studie herausgefunden, dass aus 10 Ideen nur 2 oder 3 sich am Markt durchsetzen, im besten Fall eine durch die Decke geht. Erfolg mit Innovation ist ein Zahlenspiel. Um für möglichst viele Ideen umzusetzen, beispielsweise um Prototypen zu bauen (MVPś), Markttests zu machen (proof of market), Patente anzumelden, Kapital zu akquirieren etc. musst du möglichst Kosteneffizient und strategisch klug vorgehen, um nicht schon am Ende zu sein, bevor es losgeht. Patente & Lizenzen: Mit dem 9 stufigen Lean Inventing Ideen testen Dafür hat Peter einen 9 stufigen Innovationsprozess ausgearbeitet, das Lean Inventing. Damit können Peters Kunden einen erproben Prozess durchlaufen, um schnell und kosteneffizient Ideen zu testen, anzupassen, und am Ende erfolgreich umzusetzen. Beispielweise arbeitet Peter ich mit einer Methode um temporären kostenlosen Patentschutz zu nutzen, mit 3-D Druck und anderen Rapid-Prototyping Methoden Prototypen zu bauen, oder der Nutzung von (quasi kostenlosen) staatlichen Fördermitteln. Auf der Finanzierungsseite gibt es nämlich für Selbständige und Unternehmen extrem hilfreiche Unterstützung in Form von staatlichen Fördermitteln. Dafür gibt es wunderbare Programme von Bund und Ländern für innovative Ideen und deren Umsetzung. Der Staat ist daran interessiert, dass Innovation im Land bleibt, Arbeitsplätze geschaffen werden, und am Ende Steuern gezahlt werden. Dafür gibt er gerne Geld für gute Ideen, was eine großartige Starthilfe für die Unternehmen ist um Ideen umzusetzen, oder auch um Risiken zu minimieren wenn mal etwas nicht funktioniert. Und das Beste daran: Du musst dich nicht um aufwendigen Förderanträge, Papierkram oder langes Warten auf die Förderzugsage einstellen. Darum kümmert sich Peter und sein Team, und garantiert dir Fördermittel von bis zu 20.000Eur und mehr, damit Du gleich durchstarten kannst. Dein größter Fehler als Unternehmer?: Meine erste Gründung war mit 22 Jahren, gemeinsam mit einem Partner. Wir waren privat befreundet, beide Techniker, und wollten selbstbestimmt für uns arbeiten, und nicht für andere. Wir hatten die gleichen skills, sollen beide gleichberechtigt entscheiden und Partner sein. Ohne klare Aufgabenteilung nach Fähigkeiten, Interessen oder Stärken. Das hat zwangsläufig zu Konflikten geführt, wir haben beide für weniger Geld mehr gearbeitet, und der Traum von der Freiheit als Unternehmer wurde zum zwischenmenschlichen Albtraum. Später im Studium habe ich die Story einem meiner Professoren erzählt, der auch VC Partner war. Er kannte solche Geschichten zu Hauf. Wenn du gründest, nimm nur einen Partner dazu dazu, wenn sich Fähigkeiten ergänzen, also die Partnerschaft einen finanziellen Mehrwert hat – „only partner for spreadsheet reasons“. Freunde sollst du trotzdem haben, geh mit ihnen feiern oder ein Bier trinken, aber gründe keine Firma gemeinsam nur weil du Gesellschaft brauchst. Deine Lieblings-Internet-Ressource?: Trello, ohne dieses Tool bin ich verloren :) ich arbeite gleichzeitig an mehreren Projekten die ich mit Trello strukturiere, organisiere und manage.   Deine beste Buchempfehlung: Buchtitel 1:   Buchtitel 2:   Kontaktdaten des Interviewpartners: Peter Hug PRODUCT.

Mit sechs Milliarden Franken im Portemonnaie befindet sich das Schweizer Militär auf Einkaufstour. Ein neuer Kampfjet muss her. So hat es das Volk entschieden. Wir leuchten das grösste Rüstungsgeschäft der Schweizer Geschichte aus und fragen als erstes: Wogegen genau sollen diese Jets Schutz bieten? Zwei der bestinformierten Sicherheitsfachleute im Land nehmen in dieser ersten Episode Stellung: Pälvi Pulli vom Verteidigungsdepartement VBS und der linke Militärhistoriker Peter Hug. Sie ist überzeugt: Die Schweiz braucht einen neuen Kampfjet. Er hält das für eine Geldverschwendung. Erstaunlich einig sind sich die beiden aber in zwei wichtigen Punkten. Erstens: Die Welt wird gefährlicher, die Art der Bedrohungen unübersichtlicher. Zweitens: Gegen die grösste Bedrohung von heute, Angriffe mit kleinen Drohnen, wird die Schweiz auch mit neuen Kampfjets keine Abwehr haben. Priscilla Imboden und Tobias Gasser von der Inland- und Bundeshausredaktion von Radio SRF haben wochenlang recherchiert und die Spezialisten des Verteidigungsdepartements (VBS) auf ihrer Sechs-Milliarden-Einkaufstour beobachtet. Sie zeigen in dieser Podcast-Serie die Hintergründe dieses Mega-Rüstungs-Deals auf und wieso dieser das Land noch lange weiterbeschäftigen wird. Wollt ihr uns etwas mitteilen? Dann schreibt uns auf hotspot@srf.ch Hotspot ist ein Podcast von SRF.

In Deutschland gibt es derzeit rund 780.000 installierte Aufzugsanlagen, davon circa 675.000 zur Personenbeförderung. Diese können in Zeiten einer Pandemie leider nicht immer in dem gewohnten Maß genutzt werden. Zur Vermeidung von Infektionen können aber schon einfache Maßnahmen die Nutzung von Aufzügen sicherer machen. Daraus ergeben sich bestimmte Sicherheitsvorkehrungen, über die uns die Gäste in unserem VDMA Podcast aufklären. Unsere Experten in dieser Folge sind: Dr. Stefan Schumacher vom Institut für Energie- und Umwelttechnik in Duisburg und Mitglied der Gesellschaft für Aerosolforschung sowie Dr. Peter Hug, Geschäftsführer des Fachverbandes Aufzüge und Fahrtreppen im VDMA.

The 10-year yield has climbed to 1.56% Friday morning, but can rise to as high as 1.7% before the Federal Reserve steps in to intervene, said Peter Hug, global trading director of Kitco Metals.

Peter Hug, global trading director of Kitco Metals, breaks down the gold market's recent price action and the next key support and resistance levels to watch for.

Rising yields and a stronger dollar from earlier this week have put pressure on gold, but the long-term macroeconomic fundamentals have not changed for the metal's bullish outlook, said Peter Hug, global trading director, who added that we are still in the early innings of a bull cycle. “I think gold has been mirroring the dollar and the dollar has been strengthening in the beginning of this week on the 10-year [yield] surging. Last Friday when we spoke the 10-year was trading around 1.12%, 1.14%, it's now at 1.32%. So the yields on the 10-year have been going up this week and that has moved some assets into the dollar,” Hug said.

The current bull market cycle in the metals is far from over, and the Federal Reserve would need to reverse course on monetary policy before we see a top in prices, said Peter Hug, global trading director of Kitco Metals.

The silver price dropped 10% on Tuesday as the CME raised margin requirements for silver contracts. Peter Hug, global trading director of Kitco Metals, said that the silver squeeze attempt has now “backfired” as bullion inventories have run dry as a result, and with premiums up and few physical products to sell, it is now even more difficult for retail investors to push the price up.

Watch the flows of cash from one sector to another to see when mining truly turns bullish, said Hedley Widdup, executive director of Australia-based Lion Selection Group. On Friday, Widdup recorded Kitco Roundtable podcast with editor Neils Christensen and mining audiences manager Michael McCrae.Widdup traces the history of the mining booms and busts starting with the mining boom that ended in 1998 due to the East Asian currency crisis and Bre-X scandal."[It] was an enormous wipe out of risk money, and it told people instantly you can't put your money in explorers because they're liars," said Widdup.The dot-com bubble followed in the late 90s."It's like [money flowing] from one ocean to another. And whilst it's happy playing somewhere, it is probably not going to inflate anything else," said Widdup."I think we've seen a pretty reasonable run of risk money into the mining sector...but we really haven't seen the washout of tech, and if that was to happen, it might be bad for the equity market broadly, but mining would be the beneficiary in the years that follow."Kitco Roundtable also reprised its interview with Peter Hug, Global Trading Director of Kitco.Plans to short-squeeze silver to never before seen prices circulated on Reddit. Hug evaluated what it would take, hypothetically, for these plans to come to fruition.

Gold's reaction to bad economic data continues to be weakness; the precious metal is down almost 1% on Friday. Peter Hug, global trading director of Kitco Metals said that it is only a matter of time before the metal reverts course.

Whether the Democrats or Republicans take the two Senate seats in Georgia will determine how much stimulus the economy will get, said Peter Hug, global trading director of Kitco Metals.

$10,000 gold price would mean the end of the financial system, as we know it. Peter Hug, Global Trading Director of Kitco Metals, talks about likely scenarios for inflation, the economy, gold, and silver for 2021.

Gold has bounced back from its support level of the low $1,800s, and is on track to touch $1,920 by Christmas time, said Peter Hug, global trading director of Kitco News.

What is the short-term trend for gold? Is the long-term outlook still positive? How much, if any, of the metals should be in your portfolio now? Peter Hug, global trading director, answers these questions.

Gold price dropped $100, or 4.5% on Monday as Pfizer announced that its COVID-19 vaccine is 90% effective. The S&P 500 climbed 2.9%, the Dow is up 3.8%, and the NASDAQ is up only 1%, dragged down by companies that benefit from the work from home culture, like Zoom (-12%) and Netflix (-4%). Peter Hug, global trading director of Kitco Metals, said that these moves factor in expectations that are a bit ‘premature'.

The stimulus will happen no matter who wins and that is good for metals and gold, said Peter Hug, Kitco's head of the precious metal division. Hug spoke to Kitco News Thursday as Republican and Democrat leadership continued negotiating a COVID-19 stimulus package in excess of $2 trillion. Some Republican senators are holding out, but Hug said a deal will happen because there is too much pressure from businesses and the states.

There’s an increasing level of fear both in the US and worldwide. The Fed was looking for the administration to get another fiscal package to help move things forward. Economic data has been relatively benign. In Europe there’s fear of another Covid wave. Peter doesn’t expect the economy to shut down and he doesn’t expect the Congress to do anything either. So it’s highly doubtful that another stimulus package is coming. And the market has reacted accordingly. The Fang stock correction should have led to a rotation into other sectors. The resulting anxiety has led to a rush to cash. Peter went neutral/negative about a month ago. Two elements in the metals markets, one is raising cash by investors who had large profits and the fear trade is in full force and they’re moving into cash away from metals. Metals get hurt in a financial collapse until there’s governmental intervention. The market is hooked on continuous infusions of stimulus and pulling it back will cause nasty withdrawl pains. There’s no cohesiveness in government at all. Peter is sticking to his end of the year gold price estimate of $1911, but it could be low. We have not seen the high on gold yet in this wave.

What a wild time for gold and precious metals! What's the best way to play the hot market? Should investors be buying or selling or both? Peter Hug, PMD Director at Kitco, talks with host Jordan Goodman about why there's such a run on gold and other metals and what it means. Hug and Goodman discuss what the outlook for precious metals is going forward and whether the markets are overstretched with a correction on the horizon. They take a look at how interest rates and government spending are feeding into the push for gold. Goodman and Hug discuss the pros and cons of buying physical gold and best ways to store physical investments as well as other ways to invest in metals such as etfs and mining shares.

Peter Hug, as director of global trading is paid to care about the price of gold, not that he doesn't anyway.  At the beginning of this year Peter was bullish on gold when it was in the mid $1500’s. After all, the economy was vibrant, stocks were trading at near all time highs and the outlook while  positive, was not overwhelmingly so. Then came Covid. Peter warned investors that gold/silver would drop initially and then head higher. Stimulus lead to stock price recovery and stock market reflation. Peter then targeted $1750, which gold hit and then pulled back. The equity markets may come under renewed downward pressure, which again may be a negative for gold. Peter is now calling for $1911 by year end. Remember, his call for last year was $1550, and he was very close. As for the next generation of investors, millennials are more interested in digital gold products than physical gold. As the boomers drop, millennials will be dumping their inherited metals hoards. Or perhaps they may wise up.

Charles Morgan interviews precious metals expert Peter Hug, Kitco's Director of Global Trading. Hug gives his valuable insights into the current status of gold refining and coin production, how the precious metals market is reacting to the current economic crisis caused by COVID-19, and why this market is behaving in ways both predictable and unforeseen. If you are a precious metals investor you will definitely want to hear what Peter has to say. *** Hi everybody, this is CoinWeek Editor Charles Morgan. The news has been bleak in recent weeks, I know it has but we all need a little dose of something that takes the edge off. You know, since I haven’t been going out with my family, I’ve been able to spend a little extra time working on my research - and to do that I have frequently found myself on PCGS CoinFacts - one of the industry’s most important research destinations. With millions of price points, museum-quality photos, and narratives from the industry’s leading experts - CoinFacts provides you insights that you won’t find anywhere else. Best of all, it is free. PCGS is a proud sponsor of the CoinWeek Podcast and we couldn’t be happier with the support they give us- it really keeps the program going and with more than 130 episodes under our belt- it is my hope that I have played some small role in keeping you enthused about our hobby and I know our guests have given you unprecedented access to the way they view the market.

Doubtful that a China deal will happen. Brexit is delayed but not forgotten. The stock is just not valid from a fundamental perspective. Risks are to the downside. Tax-loss selling ahead. The Fed will have no choice but to cut in 2020. After the spectacular run up in metals it make sense that there would be a pullback. Trillion dollar deficits, China in a slow down, how can it be bearish for gold? Anyone sourcing product out of China is seeing their costs go up and it will eventually be passed down to the consumer. Can it not have an affect on the stock market? Hong Kong is buying metals aggressively and selling off HK$ for US$. Iran is melting down. Demonstrations and riots are heading close to a tipping point. There are so many countries approaching political metldown. Just pick one and watch what happens next.

Kitco's Peter Hug joined us for a review of the recent action in the precious metals and the beginning of gold's new bull market. He believes that a lot will have to do with the Fed's approach to cutting rates. Peter believes that the Fed will take a more cautious approach and cut 25 basis points at the next meeting. If they go higher, it could be a real boost. Once gold breaks the next resistance point around 1420, gold could close out the year around $1550. Let's see what happens next.

Many of us look at the precious metals markets and believe that there's something amiss. With all the money printing and geo-political turmoil, it's believed that the price should be much higher. Is it a conspiracy to hold prices down or is the market functioning the way it was intended? Peter believes that the demand just isn't there to make prices go higher. He gives the example, If the US and Iran went to war tomorrow, the price of gold would probably go over $1400, and not even JP Morgan could stop it. Interesting theory, we all have our own opinions on the subject.

Kitco's Peter Hug believes that we're close to seeing precious metals prices rise again. The stock markets appear to be getting closer to their peaks, if they haven't hit them already. It's just a matter of time. As the alternatives run out, gold will become the logical choice. And when it happens, it will happen much more quickly than almost anyone believed possible. So why not plan for the eventuality now?

Peter Hug has been in the gold industry for nearly 40 years which makes him an expert in my opinion when it comes to gold. Now to be honest, I am not a fan of gold (yet). In fact, I have never once invested in gold because I have personally never liked gold as an investment. So, why am I willing to learn more about gold now, right? First off - I don’t know much about gold. One of my rules is I do not invest in things I don’t understand. Therefore, investing in gold was never something I was comfortable doing. Secondly, (I thought) gold didn’t have a great track record when compared to the equity markets. From what I do know, the the price of gold has increased by 355% over the past 30 years, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has increased by 1,255% during that same time frame. But, now I am also learning that over the past 15 years, gold has outperformed the market. In fact, gold has returned 355% over the last 15 years (same as the 30-year return) while the Dow has returned only 58%. After seeing the facts, I decided to ask Peter to come on the show to see if he could convince me gold was a viable option. Here are some of the takeaways from my interview with Peter. Today we discuss: The history of gold Why gold is NOT a strategy for “when the world ends” How gold plays an important role in investing and diversification How much gold should you invest in? The overall track record of gold as an investment When gold is not a good fit Other investments related to gold   All the show notes, links and anything Peter and I mentioned can be found at https://www.moneypeach.com/session116

Kitco's Peter Hug joined us for a review of the precious metals markets and why they've been going down. Seasonal factors have helped push it down, but there are geo-political forces at play that could drive it up again at any moment: from North Korea, to Iran, to the trade war with China. It's anyone's guess what shoe will drop and when, but it's probable that something will at some point in the future.
