HANDELSBLATT RESEARCH INSTITUTE

About

The Handelsblatt Research Institute (HRI) is an independent research institute specialized in economic research. HRI was founded in 2013 and is part of the Handelsblatt Publishing Group, Germany’s leading business media company. For more than six decades, HRI used to be the department for information and research of the Handelsblatt Publishing Group and mainly offered desk research to Handelsblatt – Germany’s most-selling business daily – and WirtschaftWoche, a weekly business magazine. The economic and journalistic competences gathered over the years were then combined to found the HRI. Business analyses are a core field of HRI’s research activities. We can support the commercialization of new products by conducting business analyses – analyzing markets and their size, competitors and their products and business and pricing models – producing go-to-market strategies and full-blown business plans. Prof. Dr. Bert Rürup, one of the most prominent German economists, advisor to various federal governments and long-lasting chairman of the German Council of Economic Experts, is the president of the HRI and chief economist of the Handelsblatt, Dr. Christian Sellmann ist the managing director of the HRI and Dr. Jörg Lichter is the head of research. HRI has around 25 employees including economists, management experts, political scientists and information scientists. HRI offers various products: • Desk research for the Handelsblatt Publishing Group and external customers. • Economic studies: Data analyses; surveys; model calculations. • Factbooks: Graphic-oriented reference works about different topics. • Market Analysis and Commercialization: Analysis of markets, customers, competitors, creation of go-to-market strategies and business plans; preparation of market introduction.
