Innovations are a key factor in keeping the renewable energies sunrise industry in Germany competitive long term. This is the ConMoto Consulting Group’s central message at the first Handelsblatt annual conference Erneuerbare Energien 2010 (Renewable Energies 2010) on 30 and 31 August in Berlin. ConMoto is presenting the “predictable innovation” concept at the conference. This concept makes innovation processes both efficient and transparent while allowing them to be measurable and repeatable.
ConMoto is also supporting Erneuerbare Energien 2010 as a sponsor and through its methodological expertise in the area of dovetailing cost leadership and technological innovation it wants to contribute to companies being able to optimally tap their growth potential.
Mechanical engineering firms worried about young talent
August 24th, 2010 | Topic: News
The Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbauer (VDMA, or German Engineering Federation) is complaining about the increasing problems the sector is having when looking for qualified young talent. In a current interview Federation President Manfred Wittenstein put the number of unfilled engineering vacancies at “4,000 with a rising trend”. As a counter measure Wittenstein is demanding the further development of the educational system in order to reduce the number of students who do not complete their studies. “About 50 per cent of students studying engineering subjects do not complete their courses. That’s dramatic.” Furthermore, the emigration of skilled workers had to be stopped.
ConMoto main sponsor of “Renewable Energies 2010″
ConMoto is the main sponsor of the first Handelsblatt annual conference “Erneuerbare Energien 2010” (Renewable Energies 2010) on 30 and 31 August in Berlin. This event offers the opportunity for an exchange of opinions and experiences between manufacturers, operators, service providers and investors, as well as representatives from the worlds of science and politics. On the first day of the event, in a lecture in the issue of “Plannable Innovation”, ConMoto will focus attention on a decisive area that is currently neglected. This can be shown in that only 1.7 per cent of the solar industry’s turnover went into research and development in 2008. This is well below the average in other sectors and it is a warning signal in terms of future international competitiveness.
By sponsoring the “Erneuerbare Energien 2010” annual conference, ConMoto wants to contribute to the success of domestic companies in international competition and further develop this growth sector’s potential through expertise and methodical competence.

China’s purchasing manager index falls
July 5th, 2010 | Topic: News
Growth in China’s manufacturing industry has weakened. The official Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) of the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing (CFLP) fell to a seasonally adjusted 52.1 points in June 2010. In May the PMI was still at 53.9 points and it was at 55.7 points in April. However, this decline started from a relatively high level. According to the CFLP’s information, an Index above 50 points indicates expansion in manufacturing business. The Index is based on surveys of 727 Chinese companies from 20 industrial sectors. The majority of these sectors – 14 in total – reported values below 50 points, which indicates a contraction in these areas.
The PMI has been recorded since 2005. It reached its low in November 2008, with 38.8 points and its peak value was achieved in December 2009 with 56.6 points.
