Would you get a tattoo for innovation? 🧠🚆 We just celebrated 10 years of DB mindbox, Deutsche Bahn’s startup accelerator where innovation isn’t just a buzzword – it is working. ‼️ Innovation must land – in our processes, products, infrastructures. And with people“ – Dr. Daniela Gerd tom Markotten 💡 “70% of all ideas became products, 10% went into production at Deutsche Bahn Bahn” – Jasmin Bigdon 💥 “DB Mindbox is grown up and delivers real innovation” – Martin Kaloudis 🧩 “Innovation must follow the problem chain – that’s where collaboration happens” – Klaus Müller We brought BahnGPT on stage for a round of AI Jeopardy – an interactive, fun and surprisingly sharp format to explore prompt engineering and GenAI literacy live. 🎯 My highlight? Watching Philipp and Emily bring this concept to life. From first idea to flawless execution – creative, confident, and collaborative. That’s what future AI leadership looks like. 👉 And yes – someone did get a tattoo for innovation: Ivo Scholz. Live. On stage. That’s the kind of commitment and creative courage we need more of in transformation. 🗞️ My key message: Real disruption happens when you're bold enough to do what others avoid — especially during the hard times of a corporate turnaround. ❓What bold move would you make to drive real AI adoption? PS: Norman – thanks for the cheat ideas at AI Jeopardy. Despite them, we still didn’t win. Lol. #DBmindbox #BahnGPT #AIJeopardy
