Germany‘s business weekly, Wirtschaftswoche
(www.wiwo.de) has recently reminded its readers
that “The label ‚Made in Germany‘ continues to
wow customers worldwide“ based on a survey
by polling institute YouGov and Cambridge Uni-
versity. This makes us proud but reminds us that
it is also a constant challenge to always reach for
the top and exceed expectations. History waits
for no-one, and China shows us how large public
building projects get finished on schedule, trains
arrive on time, and AI and Big Data applications
produce results.
We are working intensively with partners from
all corners of the world: Africa, the United States,
Japan, China, and elsewhere. An exciting project
researching 3D printing has just been launched
with Beijing University, the RWTH Aachen, and
German and Chinese businesses. We have been
granted two patents, for our pseudolink and
the Blurry Box protection technology. Both are
already integrated into our CodeMeter Protec-
tion Suite, where they are helping us protect
your applications from reverse engineering and
product piracy.
We know the value of free trade, and we believe
in the innovative minds of all our people around
the globe. That is why we are investing in a
new head office and our very special House of
IT Security, the future home of researchers and
entrepreneurs in our field.
Enjoy this issue of the KEYnote magazine and
read about exciting news and use cases: See
CodeMeter in the Azure cloud; follow us as we
take our first steps with CodeMeter Cloud, our
upcoming solution for high-performance and
high-scalability CmContainers in the cloud;
learn more about CodeMeter in Docker environ-
ments, the new IP Protection mode, 3D printing
applications, and how CodeMeter compares
to the much-vaunted Blockchain for software
protection and licensing.
I am looking forward to seeing you again – be it
here in our headquarters in Karlsruhe, at a Wibu-
Systems seminar, or at one of the upcoming fall
shows, like COMPAMED and SPS in Germany or
the ET in Japan.
Best regards from
Oliver Winzenried
CEO
