🧠 "Innovation is more than just new products – it changes the mindset within a company." – Anne Decker

Many medium-sized companies face the same #challenge:
How can we stay innovative without losing focus or taking too many risks?

In the latest imPulse podcast, our CEO Nils Wagner talks to Anne Decker, Managing Director at wattx, about the balance between innovation and risk – and what innovation needs to deliver today.

🎯 Key topics:
- Why venture building needs #courage to change in medium-sized companies
- Why culture and #ownership matter more than product ideas
- How #venture #clienting can drive pragmatic innovation
- Why sometimes it's best to give founders #responsibility instead of keeping control

📢 At REHAU New Ventures, we've learned similar lessons and evolved into a more market-oriented, collaborative innovation unit.

Rethinking Innovation: Why Venture Clienting is the way forward

At REHAU New Ventures, we have gained valuable insights into the world of innovation over the past few years. Today, we are using this #experience to achieve short-term and measurable #impact for the REHAU Group.

After working intensively on #VentureBuilding, we are shifting our focus to Venture Clienting - a strategy that directly links innovative solutions from external Start-ups with the challenges of REHAU Subgroups.

What does that mean in concrete terms?
🚀 Accelerated innovation cycles
🔒 Reduced investment risk
📈 Immediate added value for our business

With this realignment, we are not only creating faster and more efficient innovation processes, but also laying the foundation for a sustainable future in the REHAU Group.

By collaborating with innovative Start-ups, we are not only driving technological progress, but also contributing to future-proof solutions that will change our industry.

We are excited: How do you see the role of #VentureClienting in corporate innovation? Let's discuss it in the comments!

#Startups & #Corporates – building #bridges instead of digging #trenches! 🎙️

Startups are innovative, agile, and #disruptive. Corporates bring #resources, #scaling, and market #knowledge. But how can a genuine win-win-win #collaboration between these two worlds be #achieved? 🤝

In the latest imPulse episode, CEO of REHAU New Ventures, Nils Wagner talks to Florian Nöll, Partner at PwC Deutschland and one of the leading minds when it comes to startup-corporate collaborations.

🔹 Why almost 90% of German #unicorns choose PwC as their #partner
🔹 How startups and established companies can #benefit from each other
🔹 What the biggest #stumbling blocks are – and how to avoid them
🔹 Which #technology & investment trends are driving the startup world

🎙️ New Podcast Drop: Founders Fight Club Cast x REHAU New Ventures

After a long break, the FoundersFight.Club Cast is back - tackling a topic that couldn't be more relevant: #democracy, #resilience, and the role of #entrepreneurship and culture in #shaping the future.

Hosted by our CEO Nils Wagner, this special episode was recorded at the Rebuild Ukraine #Hackathon finals, bringing together two inspiring voices:

🎵 Rüdiger "Rüde" Linhof (Sportfreunde Stiller, Kulturkonvoi) on how art is not just expression - it is #resistance.

🏗️ Bernd Oswald (Co-Founder, GROPYUS) on how entrepreneurship is not charity - it is infrastructure for #recovery.

This episode is about taking action when stability is not a given. It’s about refusing to wait and instead #building, #creating, and #taking #responsibility. #Democracy enables us to #innovate, but are we willing to do the work to sustain and defend it?

🎧 Listen in, be inspired, and join the conversation. Link in the comments ✏️

🚀 Reshaping self-storage: CoStore makes storage space simple, flexible and digital.

Innovation does not always mean groundbreaking technology - radical #simplification is often enough. This is exactly what our venture CoStore proves.

🎯 The idea: fully #automated container #self-#storage parks - storage space as easy as car sharing.

📦 The approach:
- #Shipping #containers instead of expensive buildings - flexible and quickly scalable.
- Fully #digital - 24/7 access, automated booking, no staff on site.
- Parks are created in just a few months.

💡 Potential recognized: CoStore was founded in 2024 and gained real estate expert Oliver Gilbert as a shareholder in June.

📈 The #goal: 40-50 parks in Germany - including data-driven expansion.
