#28 - Erik Wirsing | DB Schenker | #hungryforinnovation - What’s Hot in Logistics?

"Innovation is a necessary part of our DNA. It's all about openness and transparency, about spotting trends and finding out if there's something in it for us or not. If not, hands off. But if yes, try to convince your company to adopt and scale." In this episode we exchange ideas with Erik Wirsing, Vice President Global Innovation about the hottest innovation topics at the logistics company DB Schenker. The die-hard innovation enthusiast has been with the company for over 22 years now and is always on the lookout for new trends and technologies that are shaping the future of logistics. The fact that the term "hungryforinnovation" is not just a simple company hashtag, but rather an attitude at DB Schenker that stands for genuine desire and passion for innovation, becomes particularly evident when Erik enthusiastically talks about a unique cooperation project with the German aircraft manufacturer Volocopter. But what exactly is it all about? And how will projects like this and similar ones change the future of logistics in the coming years? Answers to all these questions and much more to be found in this episode!
