Der Deutsche Exzellenz-Preis 2020: 46 Sieger ausgezeichnet

Der Deutsche Exzellenz-Preis 2020 für herausragende Produkte, Dienstleistungen, Kampagnen, Initiativen, Manager und Macher der Deutschen Wirtschaft ging am Abend des 23. Januar an 46 digitale, innovative und kreative Unternehmen – darunter 15 Start-ups und vier Publikumspreisträger.

Der Deutsche Exzellenz-Preis 2020 für herausragende Produkte, Dienstleistungen, Kampagnen, Initiativen, Manager und Macher der Deutschen Wirtschaft ging am Abend des 23. Januar an 46 digitale, innovative und kreative Unternehmen – darunter 15 Start-ups und vier Publikumspreisträger.

Der Deutsche Exzellenz-Preis wurde zum  insgesamt dritten Mal verliehen. Die Initiatoren, das Deutsche Institut für Service-Qualität (DISQ), das DUB UNTERNEHMER-Magazin und der Nachrichtensender n-tv würdigen damit herausragende und zukunftsweisende Leistungen der deutschen Wirtschaft. Digital, innovativ, kreativ: Für diese Kriterien wurden neben renommierten Unternehmen wie Lufthansa, Otto, comdirect oder der Unternehmensberatung Roland Berger auch 15 Start-ups – wie zum Beispiel die digitale Kreationsplattform Storyliner – ausgezeichnet. Eine hochkarätig besetzte Jury aus Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Medien hatte aus 133 Bewerbungen die besten 42 mit dem Prädikat „Exzellent“ bewertet. Vier weitere Unternehmen wurden durch den Publikumspreis prämiert. Schirmherrin Brigitte Zypries, Bundesministerin a. D., überreichte die Trophäen an die Sieger. Nach der feierlichen Preisverleihung in der Berliner Bertelsmann Repräsentanz trafen sich Manager*innen, Start-up-Gründer*innen, Digitalexperten*innen und Kreative zum Networking.

In Ihrer Keynote betonte Brigitte Zypries eine positive Entwicklung des vergangenen Jahrzehnts: „Die letzten zehn Jahre haben Frauen deutlich nach vorne gebracht“. Und das ist eine wesentliche Basis für Digitalisierung, Innovation und Kreativität. Sie erinnerte jedoch das Publikum daran, dass Frauen noch immer nicht in genügender Anzahl in Führungspositionen eingesetzt werden. Ihr Appell: „Wir müssen diverser werden und das einander Zuhören wieder lernen, denn nur so können auch traditionelle Unternehmen den Weg in die Zukunft schaffen“.

Kategorie „Aus- und Weiterbildung“: Die Lufthansa Virtual Reality Weiterbildung
Einer der Gewinner des Abends war der „Pre-Flight Cabin Check“ von Lufthansa Aviation Training. Die 20-minütige Virtual Reality Trainings-Lösung schult Flugbegleiter mittels hochauflösender VR-Brillen und haptischer Gestensteuerung, vor dem Flug im an Bord versteckte, verbotene Gegenstände zu identifizieren. Eine bidirektionale Schnittstelle gibt Feedback zu den Lernerfolgen und ermöglicht so die effektive Nutzung.

Doppelt geehrt: Die comdirect bank siegte in zwei Kategorien
Gleich zweimal mit dem Deutschen Exzellenz-Preis ausgezeichnet wurde die comdirect bank. In der Kategorie „Apps“ gewann „Chat Order“, die erste App für den einfachen digitalen Wertpapierhandel. Die Jury bescheinigt „Chat Order“ einen „hohen Wirkungsgrad und hohen Nutzen“. In der Kategorie „Führung und Verantwortung“ siegte die comdirect bank mit ihrer Innovationsinitiative „Start-up Garage“, die Workshops, Wettbewerbe und Start-up-Kooperationen einschließt.

Start-up Storyliner demokratisiert das Marketing
In der Kategorie „Digitale Services B2B“ siegte das Hamburger Start-up Storyliner. Der Chatbot ist der erste digitale Content-Assistent für die Erstellung digitaler Inhalte, der Nutzer berät, was sie schreiben sollen, wie sie es formulieren und wann und wo sie es veröffentlichen sollen. Storyliner berät automatisiert, empfiehlt konkrete Inhaltselemente, generiert und optimiert fertige Stories. Auszeichnungswürdig, wie die Jury meint.

Publikumspreis
Erneut waren die Leser des DUB UNTERNEHMER-Magazins dazu aufgerufen, in vier Kategorien Preisträger*innen zu küren. Den Publikumspreis erhielten das Kölner Start-up m.Doc für Patientenkommunikation im Krankenhaus, die W. Schillig Polstermöbelwerke mit ihrem 3-D-Polstermöbelkonfigurator, developHER von Otto sowie das Automated-Machine-Learning-Tool von Weidmüller Interface.

Beijing - Tencent Holdings Limited (“Tencent”) (00700.HK), JD.com, Inc. (“JD.com”) (NASDAQ:JD), and Vipshop Holdings Limited (“Vipshop”) (NYSE:VIPS), today jointly announced that Tencent, a leading provider of internet value-added services in China, and JD.com, China’s largest retailer, have entered into definitive agreements with Vipshop, a leading online discount retailer for brands in China, such that Tencent and JD.com will invest an aggregate amount of approximately US$863 million in cash in Vipshop at the closing of the transaction.

 

Pursuant to the share subscription agreement, Tencent and JD.com will subscribe for newly issued Class A ordinary shares of Vipshop in the amount of approximately US$604 million and approximately US$259 million, respectively. The purchase price will be US$65.40 per Class A ordinary share, which is equivalent to US$13.08 per American Depositary Share (“ADS”) of Vipshop, five of which represent one Class A ordinary share. The purchase price represents a 55% premium over the closing price of the ADSs as of the last trading day on December 15, 2017.

The transaction is expected to close in the near future, subject to customary closing conditions.  Upon the closing, Tencent and JD.com will beneficially own, taking into account any existing holding, approximately 7% and 5.5%, respectively, of Vipshop’s total issued shares. The Class A ordinary shares issued to Tencent and JD.com will be subject to a two-year lock up restriction. Tencent and JD.com will have the right to appoint a director and an observer, respectively, to Vipshop’s board of directors during the two-year lockup period. After the end of the lock-up period, for so long as Tencent and JD.com hold approximately 12% and 8%, respectively, of Vipshop’s total issued shares, or otherwise by mutual agreement with Vipshop, they will maintain director and board observer rights.

Concurrently with the entry of the share subscription agreement, Tencent and JD.com have entered into business cooperation agreements with Vipshop, effective upon closing, establishing a cooperative relationship among Tencent, JD.com and Vipshop. Under these agreements, Tencent will grant Vipshop an entry on the interface of Weixin Wallet enabling Vipshop to utilize traffic from Tencent’s Weixin platform, and JD.com will grant Vipshop entries on both the main page of JD.com’s mobile application and the main page of its Weixin Discovery shopping entry, and will assist Vipshop in achieving certain GMV targets through JD.com’s platform.   

“I am truly delighted about Vipshop's new strategic cooperation relationships with Tencent and JD.com,” said Mr. Eric Ya Shen, Vipshop’s Co-founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. “This undoubtedly is an important event for Vipshop as well as China's e-commerce and internet industries. We, together with Tencent and JD.com, will leverage our respective strengths to form a strategic cooperative alliance aiming to achieve a deep, win-win cooperation and to benefit internet users and consumers. We will develop a holistic cooperation with Tencent on the Weixin platform and expand our strategic alliance with Tencent into more and broader areas.  We will explore win-win opportunities in multiple areas with JD.com, including establishing a strategic alliance in collaboration with brand suppliers, and an on-line traffic alliance. We will continue to operate as an independent e-commerce platform and further deepen and enhance our leading e-commerce capabilities in fashion (including apparel, shoes, bags and accessories) and cosmetics categories as well as our strong female user base, thereby offering higher value and better user experience to our customers.”

“The strength of Vipshop’s flash sale and apparel businesses, as well as its outstanding management team, create clear and strong synergies with us,” said Richard Liu, Chairman and CEO of JD.com. “This partnership will further extend the strong inroads that we have made with female shoppers, and will expand the breadth and reach of our fashion business. We continue to add the top-notch partners to complement JD.com’s core strengths, ensuring that JD and our partners provide the best customer experience for every shopping need.”

We look forward to providing Vipshop with our audiences, marketing solutions, and payment support to help the company provide branded apparel and other product categories to China’s rising middle class. We already see substantial demand from our users to discover, discuss and purchase branded apparel in our applications, and we believe that connecting our users more deeply to products on Vipshop’s platform will enrich their online experiences while benefiting Vipshop.
