🧠💚 Can AI build a green future — or are we just automating old mistakes?

Millennials & Gen Z inherited a world shaped by extractive systems, greenwashed progress, and false promises. We’re not here to clean it up.
We’re here to build what they never dared to dream: tech with ethics, equity, and actual accountability.

"After surprising analysts with its global rise in sales at the end of 2023, BYD has now raced ahead of Tesla—until recently the undisputed front-runner in EVs. As stock value and sales at Musk’s firm dropped last year, BYD has moved from success to success. In 2024, it sold a record of 4.3 million cars, with a 41 percent increase in sales. It now stands comfortably ahead of Tesla in the general category of new energy vehicles (NEVs), which comprises both Battery-Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). According to the latest reports, it is now neck and neck with Tesla on BEV sales; 1,790,000 for Tesla and, just behind, 1,764,000 for BYD—a 12 percent increase from the previous year. With its current rates of year-on-year growth exceeding 50 percent, and with abundant untapped potential still remaining in the EV industry, it is reasonable to expect BYD overtaking Toyota as the world-leading car firm within the next decade.

BYD is already behaving like a firm which seeks world dominance in its sector. Until recently, the Chinese automotive and EV sector was largely a domestic phenomenon, with the bulk of vehicles sold at home. Now, Chinese EV firms are expanding their production around the world, at an unprecedented scale and speed. Chinese electric vehicles factories —some of which are able to produce more than 100,000 vehicles a year—have sprung up in Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, Turkey, Hungary, Brazil, and Mexico to satisfy increasing demand for Chinese EVs which, besides their high quality, are also around 20 percent cheaper than their Western counterparts.

A key factor in BYD’s expansion is an effort to mitigate against the risk of tariffs and other trade barriers in an increasingly protectionist climate."

**Buildings That Heal Themselves? It’s Happening.**
Scientists have developed a new material that can repair itself when damaged**—think cracks that seal on their own. This innovation could pave the way for longer-lasting, more sustainable infrastructure. The future of architecture might just be *alive*.

'The materials China just restricted aren’t random. They’re chosen with the precision of someone who’s read U.S. product spec sheets and defense procurement orders. Start with dysprosium. If your electric motor needs to function at high temperatures—and they all do—then mostly it is using neodymium magnets doped with dysprosium. No dysprosium, no thermal stability.'

🚀 Innovations- & Zukunftsagenda: Mit Investitionen in Zukunftstechnologien wie #KI, #Quantentechnologie, #Greentech & #Wasserstoff stärken wir die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und sichern Wohlstand. Seit 2014 haben wir fast 25 Mrd. € investiert!

💬 MP #Kretschmann: „Die Innovations- & Zukunftsagenda sichert den Wohlstand. Sie bündelt die Maßnahmen und Investitionen zur Förderung von #Zukunftstechnologien. Gerade in Zeiten geopolitischer Verschiebungen müssen wir in #Europa unsere technologische Souveränität voranbringen. Außerdem erhöhen wir unsere Attraktivität bei #Unternehmen im Ausland, wenn es um Standortentscheidungen geht. Dass CustomCells seine Rundzellen-Pilotlinie in Tübingen aufbaut, zeigt, dass wir ein ideales Umfeld für Innovationen und deren Ansiedlung bieten.“
