An alternative search engine to Google? Yeas, that is possible,a nd one of them is Qwant. And this search engine also respects your privacy, as Wolf Hisserich (CEO Germany) explains, with a growing fanbase especially in Germany. There are many reasons for that, but as Hisserich emphasizes: "If you enter a supermarket, you have all the kinds of things to choose from - but if someone would just propose you the food you bought before it would become boring very fast. That makes Qwant so interesting for all people, because it doesn't limit it to their preferences - and that makes it interesting for ads."

Everything around the transaction is done by Klarna. - because of that the majority of Klarna.'s employees are on the technological side to optimize the processes. And what about AI? The buzzword of the last year, as Marco Rodzynek states, is now hardly mentioned this year. Köppen says that despite that its importance is growing, AI is not one of the most important parts here.
