On behalf of Globtec Investment Group, I’d like to begin by thanking our investors for their continued support. Our cherished individual investors are – and will always remain – the foundation of our marketplace.

When I attended in January this year the 50^th World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland last week, the critical issue was climate change and how to approach the pressing climatic and environmental challenges that are damaging to our ecology and economy. Change is always a constant and is the elementary feature of our life, our environment and our economy. As long as this change is positive, it is actually not consciously perceived: a good feeling pervades us and we know that everything is going well. In contrast, negative changes are perceived much more clearly and ultimately guide the course of our decisions and actions. Climate change and the associated warming of our earth is, of course, an elementary problem, which for every reasonable person who has children is one of the most important issues in life. But a change in the economy in the negative sense, i.e. the economic downturn of an entire region in terms of the individual worsening of its economic situation, is an equally important issue, especially since the effect is immediate rather than occurring in the distant future. We as human beings only have one way to counter this and that is to recognize causal relationships and work to improve our future with appropriate focus, determination and solutions…

Resource allocation in a company mainly focuses on two resources: people and capital. To maximize the value of the entire company, the whole must be larger than the sum of these two parts. We at Globtec provide our customers with exactly these two success factors.

We provide the know-how for financial independence or the necessary growth in the context with the technical processes within the company and the necessary equity. This applies to the area of ​​corporate finance as well as to the sale of a company or the analysis of external opportunities (mergers and acquisitions). We act both as a service provider and as an investor. Through our global network, we are also able to open up access to new markets as well as to provide the necessary employees. For our investors, in turn, we offer the perfect industry analysis, the first mover advantage, strategic alliances and prudent risk management. Thus, the global capital can achieve the highest risk-adjusted return. We are able to advise or control the most complex alternative financial models ourselves. With acquisitions in the M&A area, our technical team can identify the core competencies of the employees and ensure that they are well distributed throughout the company. We make changes over time based on priorities. In addition to our know-how and investment expertise, our subsidiaries can independently carry out complete projects or provide entire technical teams across Europe.
