Progress, yes, but not yet a unicorn \u2014 that's the conclusion of a study that systematically examined the digital units of large German corporations and medium-sized companies. The strategy consultancy Infront Consulting and the business magazine Capital took a closer look at the innovation labs, company builders, and accelerators of large companies. The innovation labs of Lufthansa, Linde, Daimler, and ProSiebenSat.1 currently perform best in Germany.

ProSiebenSat.1, SAP, VW, and Linde\u2014many large German corporations now have digital units designed to help them achieve the necessary innovation boosts. The will of top management to see companies prosper in the digital world is therefore there. According to the current study by Infront Consulting and Capital, outstanding new business models are not yet on the horizon. German companies also have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to developing "unicorns," projects with a market value of one billion dollars.<\/p>\n

"Compared to last year, the established large companies have made progress, but are still far from reaching their goal. The corporations are increasingly gearing their laboratories to deliver more results,"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

says Thomas Sindemann<\/strong>, partner at Infront and head of the study. He continues:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe study reveals exciting solutions and recurring success patterns, provides surprising insights, and offers insight into new trends.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
