Main Topic
The hype around the hub
Singapore – living up to its title as the Lion’s City. The metropolis is also one of four major economies comprising the ‘Tiger States’ in Asia, marked by exponential economic growth in the second half of the twentieth century. It therefore comes as no surprise that the city-state is considered an apex player today – especially when it comes to finance and global trade of goods.
In the fast lane thanks to the automotive industry
Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary have many things in common. They are not only export nations but are also important locations for the automotive and supplier industries too. By contrast, however, inland waterway transport in these countries tends to take second stage.
A multi-faceted metropolis spanning 700 km²
In terms of area, Singapore is the smallest state in Southeast Asia. With one main island, three
larger and 58 small offshore islands, the city-state off the Malay Peninsula covers an area
of just 719 km².

Behind the Scenes
“A little flattery goes a long way”
When taking a business trip to Singapore, you can expect an exciting melting pot of nationalities to accompany the international, state-of-the-art business sphere. This diversity is particularly challenging to navigate when finding a formula for success in dealings with business partners. One endeavour is paramount, however: mastering the fine balancing act between confidence and etiquette.
“A good rail link is particularly important”
Interview with Dr Söhnke Maatsch, Research Associate at the Institute for Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) and Head of the Maritime Intelligence competence area on the subject of hinterland traffic.
Don’t be surprised, Mrs Müllerova!
When doing business in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, a lot of small talk and the exchange of pleasantries are the order of the day. Only afterwards should business matters be discussed. In the Czech Republic, it can happen that Mrs Müller quickly becomes Mrs Müllerova.

Digitisation
Logistics turned upside down
Cellumation’s goal is ambitious … at some point in the future, every package delivered across the globe will have come into contact with one of the high-tech company’s cells by means of smart conveyor technology, an innovation for which the Bremen-based start-up has already won a series of awards and attracted significant investors.
Safe harbour
In view of increasing digitisation, protection against cybercrime is becoming more and more important in ports. As part of the joint project “SecProPort”, a comprehensive IT security architecture is currently being developed for this purpose.
From the North Sea to outer space
It was on 13 April 1970 that NASA‘s Mission Control Centre was told, „Houston, we have a problem.“ The German Offshore Spaceport Alliance (GOSA), on the other hand, is aiming for everything to go smoothly for its latest project – launching small carrier rockets from a specially designed ship in the North Sea, starting in 2023.
