A banknote has two jobs: to be secure and to tell a great story. 🪷

In our design studio, Banknote Designer Marc Mittelstaedt shows us a concept note where both come together. On the front, a hand reaches down to touch a lotus blossom on the water. On the back, the story continues as a couple returns by boat from the lotus harvest.

Watch closely to see how the security features become part of the story:
💚 The lotus petals turn into a foil stripe that shimmers between gold and green
🌊 The security thread shows the lake’s waves and the “50”, so it belongs to exactly this denomination

From timeless stories to long-lasting materials, this is banknote design that works. 💫

Retail CBDC. Wholesale CBDC.
Two different paths, or one common foundation?

When people learn about Central Bank Digital Currency, they often discover there are two versions:
one designed for consumers and businesses, and another for financial institutions.

But does that mean central banks need two completely separate systems?

Dr. Abbas Albasha challenges this assumption 💬: “Wholesale or retail use, it's still the same central bank money.”

In this short video, he shares his perspective on:

🔹 Why retail and wholesale CBDCs are typically treated separately
🔹 How a unified platform could support both use cases
🔹 Whether a CBDC actually needs to be deployed on DLT

His latest whitepaper explores how a unified digital currency platform could reduce complexity, improve interoperability, and support future requirements.

No single technology can secure a connected world. Resilience is a team sport. 🤝

That's why our corporate venturing arm G+D Ventures has invested in Osavul. The company uses AI to detect hybrid threats. NATO, governments and critical infrastructure operators rely on it worldwide 🌍

Osavul connects the dots. It shows the bigger picture – so organisations can act before risks escalate. As a global leader, G+D shares this view: strong security needs strong partners.

Welcome to our portfolio, Osavul. 🙌

This week, we invited our speakers into a boxing ring. Round after round, they sparred over one big question: What kind of digital future do we actually want? 🥊

AI, quantum, digital sovereignty and digital money are moving from the lab into critical infrastructure. So the question is no longer only “What will be possible?” It is also: What does it mean for us – and what do we actually want?

That is the idea behind “Be digital, stay human.” Round after round, our speakers sparred over these questions and pulled no punches. One message kept coming back: every one of these choices rests on trust. Trust is not a feature. It is the infrastructure we build on.

For decades, organizations aimed for stability. Today, constant transformation makes adaptability the more important skill. Your next customer might not even have a face – it could be an AI agent.

Technology can expand what is possible. It cannot decide what matters to people. That choice remains ours.

Thank you to everyone who made this day happen.

Apparently, it’s kinda chic to make the complicated feel easy. 🤷

With Oktoberfest in full swing, we decided to run a little thought experiment… 💭

A digital credential gets you into the tent.
Real-time connectivity guides you to your table.
Cash pays for the first Maß.
IoT tracking keeps an eye on your b**r stein.
And when it’s time for a gingerbread heart, although you already spent all your cash? Your phone is your lifesaver. 😜

Sounds like a Wiesn from the future. But the technologies are already here – from digital identities and mobile payments to connected assets and secure cash circulation.

We simply gave them a Bavarian twist. 🥨

What capabilities does the digital euro need to have if it is to become widely adopted in retail? 🛒

The digital euro could foster a more sovereign European payment landscape.
However, to achieve this, it must be widely accepted by merchants across the Eurozone.

To gain insight into the diverse needs of merchants, we sat down with Tobias Kühner, Head of Finance Operations at Schwarz Corporate Solutions, part of the retail group known for Lidl and Kaufland.

In our Spotlight interview, he highlighted the key factors for successfully introducing a new payment method such as simplicity, transparency and operational excellence.

We also discussed important questions:
👉What do retailers expect from the digital euro?
👉Why are offline payments and instant settlement essential features?
👉What else is needed for a successful rollout?

One payment card inspired by a pair of glasses. 👓
Another by a designer chair. 🪑

Our Card Innovation Lab in Munich is built to turn these unexpected aesthetic inspirations into physical reality. 💳

Through rapid prototyping and new manufacturing methods, we transform raw materials into tangible concepts – often side by side with our customers.

We engineer cards to act as the ultimate everyday anchor for a bank’s brand.
By integrating sustainable bioplastics, inclusive tactile features, and unique design effects, we ensure that every transaction creates a positive, conscious connection to the issuer.

Because even in a digital-first payment world, the physical card still has a unique role to play:
as a daily companion people recognize, value, and carry with pride. 💯

And sometimes, that process starts with a material sample, an idea, and one simple question: could this become a card?

Our summer interviews weren't just about business goals ⚽
Before getting down to business, we swapped the interview table for a football table and challenged our colleagues to a quick foosball match.
Which got us thinking: What does working at G+D actually have in common with football? 🤔
Teamwork, strategy, quick reactions… and apparently some creative interpretation of the rules 😄
Offside or not, who do you think won? 👇

Two days at ALL IN in Montréal and one theme ran through all of it: the future of AI is being built across borders.

For us as a German company, this was more than a conference. Our new AI Hub in Montréal is where German security expertise meets Canadian AI research and talent. 🤝

And on a technical side, we got approved again physical AI and robotics are being built today — in warehouses, hospitals and urban infrastructure. But another question matters just as much: How do we build trust in the machines operating in our physical world? 🤖 Identity, secure connectivity and data protection become essential enablers the moment AI interacts with our physical surroundings.

Thank you to our team on the ground and to our Canadian partners for the inspiring exchange. Transatlantic collaboration like this is how we tackle the big questions early.

Where do you see German-Canadian collaboration shaping the future of trusted AI?
