Only a few years ago, globalization seemed unstoppable. Today, the picture has changed: the world economy is no longer a single, unified system, but a multi-polar landscape shaped by regional interests, diverging regulations, and shifting alliances. For internationally active companies, this transformation creates uncertainties – but above all, new opportunities.

In this context, flexibility becomes the defining strategic asset. Technology choices, business models, and partnerships must be built for a future where resilience, sovereignty, and adaptability outweigh pure efficiency. This is precisely where Wibu-Systems positions itself.

The technologies featured in this magazine – post-quantum cryptography, cloud-agnostic deployment, Kubernetes orchestration, and secure edge architectures – reflect the need for resilient digital foundations. Security is not an add-on; it is the precondition for trust in a fragmented world. Without strong cryptography and licensing, no digital supply chain, industrial platform, or AI-driven system can be truly reliable.
Yet security alone does not answer the economic question. To thrive in a multi-polar world, business models must adapt to regional realities. In high-income markets, customers expect premium services, enterprise integration, and continuity. In other regions, affordability and accessibility decide success. The answer lies in licensing models that balance both worlds: opening new markets without undermining established ones, and protecting IP while enabling fair expansion.

Licensing is not just a technical feature, but a strategic lever for competitiveness. Flexible entitlements, cloud-native architectures, and containerized deployments give our customers the tools to monetize software wherever they operate, with models that fit local needs.
The digital economy is no longer global in the traditional sense. It is now increasingly regional, diverse, and competitive. With CodeMeter at its core, Wibu-Systems helps companies navigate this complexity – securing innovations, complying with regional rules, and unlocking growth in every corner of the world.
