Back in 1984 husband Len Bosack and
his wife Sandy Lerner, both working for
Stanford University, wanted to email each
other from their respective offices located in
different buildings but were unable to due
to technological shortcomings. A technology
had to be invented to deal with disparate
local area protocols; and the result of solving their challenge was – the birth of the
multi-protocol router. Since then Cisco has
shaped the future of the Internet by creating
unprecedented value and opportunity for
our customers, employees, investors and
ecosystem partners and has become the
worldwide leader in networking – transforming how people connect, communicate
and collaborate.

Beer is an important part of German culture. There
are about 1,300 breweries in Germany – more than
in any other country – and German beer has an
excellent reputation for quality.
Carlsberg brands have been exported to Germany
for decades, so it was natural for the Group to gain
a foothold in the country. In 1988 Carlsberg took
over Hannen-Brauerei, which was an “Alt-Bier”
brewery in Mönchengladbach, and in 2004 we
acquired one of Germany’s leading breweries –
Holsten-Brauerei in Hamburg.
The history of Holsten-Brauerei is closely associated with that of Hamburg and Altona, where the
brewery was founded in 1879. From its early days,
the brewery has been an active player in licensed
production, both in other European countries and in
Africa and China.

In the heart of the city of Hamburg the IBA
seeks answers to the most urgent questions
posed by contemporary urban planning. Wilhelmsburg, Europe’s largest inhabited river

the venues for the over 60 IBA projects due
to be completed by 2013.
A stone’s throw from Hamburg’s inner city,
IBA Hamburg gives fresh impetus to urban
design; socially, technically and culturally.
IBA is building for and with local residents,
is creating housing and constructing a new
city within the city. IBA is taking a stand for
more education and greater interpersonal
communication, and is working on new ways
to protect the climate and the environment.

Mobility is one of the most pressing issues
of our time. Without a global strategy, appropriately implemented at local level, there
will be neither healthy social development
nor individual freedom, and globalization
will not work properly either. Important
drivers are environmental issues and the
increasing demand for energy. But how can
all needs be satisfied equally?
Since 2009, the Comoveo GmbH in Hamburg has been working to integrate public
and private transportation modes within
cities, regions and countries into one single
mobility platform. The pilot version of the
comove® app has now gone live in Hamburg, the nationwide roll-out will follow
soon. comove® – for people on the move.
