BRAND FINANCE TECH 100 2023

End of easy money brings disruption to the disruptors as Amazon takes lead as world’s most valuable tech brand

Amazon overtakes Apple to become the world’s most valuable tech brand, valued at USD299.3 billion

Amazon has overtaken Apple to become the world’s most valuable tech brand, with a brand value of USD299.3 billion. Amazon’s brand value has increased 36% since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and is the world’s most valuable brand across all sectors, according to Brand Finance’s Global 500 2023 report.

Richard Haigh, Managing Director of Brand Finance commented:

“The global dominance of Amazon as the world’s leading tech brand cannot be ignored. The brand’s relentless pursuit of customer-centric innovation has not only transformed the way we shop but has challenged and overhauled traditional business models. The tech giant must now look to maintain its competitive edge amid the rapidly evolving landscape, especially as eyes are on the brand now more than ever.”

NTT DATA and LinkedIn are fastest-growing tech brands, up 55% and 49%

Japan’s NTT DATA (brand value up 55% to USD8.9 billion) is the fastest-growing tech brand in the ranking this year. This is because NTT Corporation and NTT DATA formally integrating their offerings more closely and launching a combined brand to accelerate global IT modernization and digital transformation. This is a new beginning for the NTT DATA brand that looks to accelerate growth outside of Japan and further increase its diverse digital services and application offering to clients.

Elsewhere, LinkedIn (brand value up 49% to USD15.5 billion) is the tech sector’s fastest-growing brand, substantially because of its improved standing as a recruitment and news advertising tool.

Huawei overcomes global obstacles to remain among Top 10 brands

Despite facing headwinds from global political challenges, the semiconductor shortage, and a global slump in demand for smartphones, Huawei remains in the top ten most valuable tech brands, with its brand value falling 38% to USD44.3 billion. Huawei’s consumer business, which provides smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics, was the hardest hit by the various challenges. However, the brand’s other operations, such as its carrier business and its enterprise business, performed relatively well.

Google is strongest tech brand

In addition to calculating brand value, Brand Finance also determines the relative strength of brands through a balanced scorecard of metrics evaluating marketing investment, stakeholder equity, and business performance. As well as being the strongest brand in the United States, and the world, Google (brand value up 7% to USD281.4 billion) tops the tech ranking, earning a brand strength index score of 93.2/100 and a prestigious AAA+ rating.

Accenture has highest Sustainability Perceptions Score, Amazon tops ranking for Sustainability Perceptions Value

As part of its analysis, Brand Finance assesses the role that specific brand attributes play in driving overall brand value. One such attribute is sustainability. Brand Finance assesses how sustainable specific brands are perceived to be, represented by a ‘Sustainability Perceptions Score’. Accenture had the highest Sustainability Perceptions Score of any Tech brand included in the ranking – 7.79 out of 10. The brand has set out its commitment to operating more sustainably, planning to achieve net zero emissions by 2025.

Amazon has the highest sustainability perceptions value of any brand, USD19.9 billion.

One key area where Amazon has been making strides is in its renewable energy initiatives. As the largest corporate buyer of renewable energy globally, Amazon is committed to powering all its operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025. To achieve this goal, the brand has already announced more than four hundred projects as of January 2023, highlighting its notable progress in this endeavour. The driver score for the retail sector is 6.1%, demonstrating a material role for sustainability in driving choice. Amazon’s US$19.9 billion of value is reliant on maintaining its reputation for (a certain level of) sustainability.

Thessaloniki real estate market: A dynamic up-and-coming city drawing international attention

Top prices per square metre reach 10,000 euros in city centre
Chalkidiki region is a Greek holiday and property hotspot in 2023

Hamburg, 6 July 2023. Greece’s second largest city Thessaloniki is located some 520 kilometres north of Athens, in the region of Central Macedonia in the north of the country. At the moment, the city on the Thermaic Gulf is currently often only known among country enthusiasts among those interested in real estate, even though the urban port city is now one of the most up-and-coming real estate markets in Europe. “Thessaloniki is the pulsating heart of Greece, and more and more people are recognising its potential. Around 15 percent of property buyers come from abroad – and this number is on the rise. The more tourists come to Thessaloniki, the more people want to buy real estate there. Many are surprised by the vibrant flair of the city, the wide range of properties and moderate prices,” says Georg Petras, CEO Engel & Völkers Greece.

Property prices in city centre have risen by 20 percent on average

Compared to the cosmopolitan capital Athens, Thessaloniki is better known for its casual flair. The city’s blend of hip, young cultural scene and centuries-old heritage, along with its location directly by the sea, makes Thessaloniki unique and is attracting ever-greater international attention. Approximately 15 percent of property buyers now come from abroad, compared to 4 percent in 2018. The majority of these clients come from the DACH region (37.9 percent), Israel (7.3 percent) and the USA (6.4 percent), which has been investing particularly heavily in Greece since last year – due to the low euro exchange rate and the strength of the US dollar. A quarter of foreign transactions in Greece can be attributed to US citizens alone in 2022. The steadily growing influx of national and international capital, meanwhile, is being fuelled by Thessaloniki’s significance as the most important port and transport hub in the Balkan region. According to Statista, Greece’s gross domestic product is expected to grow steadily by a total of 37.4 billion US dollars (+15.63 percent) over the next five years. Moreover, the government’s recent reforms, such as speedier processing of foreign permit procedures, tax incentives and good golden visa conditions, have significantly increased Greece’s appeal. A trend that is having a positive impact on Thessaloniki’s real estate market: “Thessaloniki is more desirable as an investment location than ever before: the city has been on a noticeably upward trajectory for several years now, and more and more capital is being generated and moved here,” Georg Petras reveals. The average price per square metre in Thessaloniki is currently approx. 2,350 euros, a year-on-year increase of approx. 20 percent (first half of 2022: 1,960 euros).
Neighbourhoods in the centre, surrounding the historic heart of the city, rank among Thessaloniki’s most desirable and expensive residential areas. These areas are especially popular with young buyers, due to the immediate vicinity to the city’s main sights, the vibrant bar and restaurant scene, and eclectic mix of architectural styles. Refurbished apartments spanning 50 to 80 square metres of living space are especially popular here. The increased demand from expats and young buyers for properties in the centre for short-term rental has seen interest grow in properties for sale as an investment with high ROI potential. As a result, the average price per square metre directly in the centre has risen by approx. 21 percent year-on-year (first half of 2023: 2,710 euros per square metre / first half of 2022: 2,230 euros per square metre). Premium properties can command top prices of up to 10,000 euros per square metre. Further away from the centre, the Thermi-Panorama, Kalamaria and Thermaikos districts in the southeast of the city are also sought-after residential locations, popular with families and travellers alike due to their new shopping malls, good schools and proximity to the airport. Average prices per square metre here range between 1,574 and 2,659 euros. Top asking prices for contemporary villas with sea views reach 3.5 million euros.

Chalkidiki – Island flair not far from bustle of the big city

Around 60 minutes by car to the east of Thessaloniki’s centre lies the peninsula of Chalkidiki, which is famous for its three headlands with over 550 kilometres of coastline, Mediterranean forests and golden sandy beaches. Although the region is one of the country’s classic holiday regions, it is still comparatively less frequented as a real estate location. “Chalkidiki boasts picture-postcard idylls and is the absolute Greek hotspot of the moment in 2023. This is because, compared to other popular locations such as Mykonos, the availability of properties is still keeping up with the level of demand,” says Georg Petras, adding, “With easier lending by Greek banks to foreign buyers, we are registering strong international demand, especially for properties worth in excess of 1 million euros.”
The top 3 locations on the peninsula are the picturesque villages of Pefkochori, Hanioti and Nikiti. Top prices per square metre of over 4,000 euros are paid for contemporary apartments. Villas directly by the sea can reach asking prices of up to 5.5 million euros.

Around 30 percent of international clients here come from Northern Europe, Israel and the USA. They are especially interested in villas along the coast or popular spots like Nikiti.

Outlook: Exciting future prospects and lively market dynamics

Engel & Völkers forecasts that the Thessaloniki market will continue to see dynamic growth over the next six months. In particular, the growing purchasing power from abroad will form a vital pillar in the development of the port city on the Aegean Sea. “Thessaloniki is a thriving location for sound capital investment. The potential for value appreciation is still very good compared to many other cities, as is the availability of real estate. The prospering economy promises growth and vitality, with an authentic quality of life that is attracting expats from all over the world. Thessaloniki will play an increasingly prominent role on the international real estate stage in the medium to long term,” Georg Petras concludes.

Sea view Maisonette in Thessaloniki East

Engel & Völkers is currently marketing this unique Maisonette in Thessaloniki East for 690,000 euros. The property boasts incredible views with its amazing location situated in a beautiful forest, with panoramic views of the entire Gulf of Thessaloniki. The apartment has a total living area of 240 square metres, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and an open plan living area with sliding door access to the terrace which overlooks the surrounding hills and the port.

Secluded Paradise in Chalkidiki

This private sanctuary in the exquisite coastal town of Paliouri, Chalkidiki is nestled amidst nature’s breathtaking beauty. The luxury estate offers an unparalleled retreat for those seeking a true sense of escapism, with panoramic sea and mountain views all around. With 820 square metres of living spaces and situated on a sprawling plot of 4.090 square metres. Engel & Völkers is currently listing this property for 4.5 million euros and it includes nine bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a built-in kitchen, an open plan living area with a bar area and a patio. A highlight of the property is it´s direct access to the picturesque private beach.

Luxuryestate Zurich: Residential real estate market – Prices flatline on a high after period of growth

Luxury real estate Zurich: Residential real estate market – Prices flatline on a high after period of growth

Price highs of 35,000 Swiss francs (approx. 35,000 euros) per square metre
Sustained upward trend for modern urban apartments and historic mansions

Hamburg / Zurich, 18 January 2022. Zurich is among the cities in the world offering the highest quality of life. As one of the leading financial and economic centres in Europe, the city attracts many private buyers and institutional investors. With its population now having reached 440,000, more people are currently live in Zurich than ever before. “In Q3 2022, residential property prices in Zurich only rose slightly (+0.6%) over the same quarter last year. In view of the continuing demand from national and international buyers, along with the extremely limited supply of properties in prime locations, we expect prices to flatline on a high in 2023,” says Axel Kühn, Licence Partner at Engel & Völkers Zurich Paradeplatz & Oerlikon. The average price per square metre for apartments in the luxury segment is currently between 22,000 and 35,000 Swiss francs (approx. 22,000 to 35,000 euros). The average sales price for mansions and detached properties with living interiors of some 300 square metres is 9 million Swiss francs (approx. 9 million euros). The steady growth in the population will continue to drive this excess demand – meaning that, despite the current economic outlook and rising interest rates, prices can be expected to remain stable in the city centre, in prime locations, and the surrounding regions. The high quality of life, the diverse array of cultural offerings and educational institutions, and the proximity to the mountains make Zurich an attractive primary residence. Alongside traditional banks and insurance firms, many tech companies and start-ups have recently relocated their headquarters to Zurich. This trend alone will mean that the appeal of the city as a place to live and work will continue to increase.

luxuryestate

Appealing location factors and a high standard of living attract international buyers

Around 120,000 companies are based in Zurich, forming a dynamic network of major international corporations, innovative medium-sized companies and highly specialised small businesses. “The burgeoning start-up scene gives a further boost to its status as a business hub, which in turn is prompting lots of young talent and a highly qualified workforce from all over the world to settle here and, after initial rental experiences, act on their long-term purchase plans,” says Lars Keller, Licence Partner of Engel & Völkers Zurich & Zurichberg. While domestic clients account for around 75 percent of the real estate market, 25 percent of all property transactions in Zurich can now be attributed to foreign buyers living in Switzerland – and this figure is on the rise. The majority of prospective buyers come from Germany, the Benelux Union, the UK, France, Italy, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

Top prices for residential property in hillside locations on Lake Zurich

Among the most exclusive locations are Fluntern and Hottingen at the foot of the Zurichberg. These two residential neighbourhoods are east of the historic city centre and combine the benefits of suburban living with the luxury of expansive natural surroundings. The many opportunities for jogging and mountain biking make this location particularly popular with clients who enjoy a sporty, active lifestyle. Historic estates on large plots with magnificent gardens and unobstructed views of Lake Zurich and the Alps are in high demand here. In 2022, just a small number of properties of this calibre changed hands for tens of millions. Top prices per square metre in excess of 33,000 Swiss francs (approx. 33,000 euros) were fetched for high-end apartments.

The Enge neighbourhood is situated southwest of the city centre. Residential properties here are set over a hillside dotted with large parks filled with mature trees. This area is especially popular with young families due to it being within walking distance to Zurich’s business centre and lakeside bathing spots. In 2022, townhouses sold here for up to 10 million Swiss francs (approx. 10.1 million euros). The top price per square metre for loft apartments was as much as 24,500 Swiss francs (approx. 24,500 euros).

Höngg is located above the Limmat River on the slopes of the “Käferberg”. Thanks to its south-facing location overlooking the city centre, Lake Zurich and the Limmat Valley, this neighbourhood is highly sought-after by families and commuters. Residents here also value the proximity to the local recreation areas of Waidberg / Käferberg, as well as the convenient transport links to the city centre and Zurich Airport, which can be reached in just 15 minutes by car. In 2022, mansions in Höngg sold for an average of 4 to 5 million Swiss francs (approx. 4 to 5 million euros).

Zurich West is the former industrial quarter and one of the city’s up-and-coming districts. This trendy district has a captivating alternative flair and makes for an architectural contrast to the picturesque Old Town. A host of different cafés, vibrant craft shops and second-hand boutiques add to the charm of Zurich West. This area of the city is particularly popular with students and young entrepreneurs. Top prices per square metre for freehold apartments here in 2022 reached 23,500 Swiss francs (approx. 23,500 euros).

luxury real estate Outlook: Thriving economic area to safeguard high prices

New construction projects such as “Europaallee” directly next-door to Zurich’s main railway station, the “Käferholz” residential complex with over 200 premium freehold apartments and “Hamberger Park” with luxury apartments are all playing their part in the ongoing structural evolution of the city, and attracting renowned corporations such as Google. Zurich is becoming increasingly cosmopolitan with the accompanying influx of expats, without losing any of its historical heritage as a centre of culture. The sustained price rises in recent years prove that Switzerland’s regional real estate market is witnessing stable growth. For 2023, prices are expected to level out on a high. “Thanks to their stable value, residential properties in and around Zurich are a sound and future-proof investment,” says Kerstin Kühn, Licence Partner of Engel & Völkers Zurich Paradeplatz & Oerlikon, who goes on to make a recommendation: “Focus on properties in well-developed communities in suburban or rural areas that offer space to set up a home office, or, alternatively, focus on micro-apartments in the city centre.”

Located in the heart of Zurich’s Wollishofen neighbourhood, Engel & Völkers currently has this historic mansion dating from 1895 listed for sale (price on request). The property is set on a plot spanning some 2,000 square metres, with a total of 15 rooms spread over three floors. The mansion is impressive for its refined details that include original parquet flooring, restored stucco ceilings and specially made silk wallpaper.

Exclusive freehold apartment on the Sonnenberg

Situated on the “Sonnenberg”, this exclusive apartment is on sale for 4.3 million Swiss francs (approx. 4.4 million euros). The 2.5-room apartment is located in a building with five residential units in total. It affords state-of-the-art comforts throughout its interiors, which span 113 square metres. The property also boasts a large covered terrace and, thanks to its southwest orientation, it is ideal for owners looking to enjoy a panoramic view over the city and the surrounding vineyards.

Past winners to return for Concours of Elegance’s spectacular 10th anniversary show

London, UK (11 August 2022): The Concours of Elegance, presented by A. Lange & Söhne. is delighted to announce that its upcoming, 10th anniversary show, will welcome back some of the astonishing previous winners of the coveted ‘best in show’ crown. The fabulous motor cars will further burnish an already outstanding selection of machinery, joining a field featuring over 75 of the world’s rarest and most spectacular cars, all drawn from leading private collections by the concours committee’s panel of internationally recognised experts. The UK’s leading concours d’elegance event returns to Hampton Court Palace from the 2nd to 4th September.

The Concours of Elegance 2021

Among the returning Concours victors will be the 1930 Bentley Speed 6 ‘Blue Train’ Coupe that took home the best in show prize at the 2013 show edition. The imposing British machine sported a raked coupe body, which was designed and built by coachbuilders Gurney Nutting. Performance matched the imposing, dominant looks; the Speed 6 was powered by a 6 ½ litre-Le Mans spec engine, putting out 180 bhp, enough to propel the imposing machine to nigh on 120 mph. The car rose to fame and gained its nickname after the Bentley owning playboy Woolf Barnato – perhaps the definitive ‘Bentley Boy’, and one-time company chairman, raced the famous Blue Train north through France. Whilst drinking at a party, Barnato claimed that he could beat the train on a run from Cannes on the glamorous Côte d’Azur to Calais. Despite the absence of autoroutes, Barnato convincingly beat the train, indeed, he won by such a margin that he crossed the channel on a steamer, and made it to London before the train pulled to a halt at the station in Calais. In all he’d covered around 700 miles – all at a remarkably fast pace – averaging 43 mph on the dusty, uneven roads of France. While there is debate over the exact car that completed the journey, it was the Gurney Nutting coupe that became associated with Barnato’s exploits, and known as the ‘Blue Train’, as a result. A wonderful car from an enchanting, fearless period in British automotive history.

Also returning will be the glamorous winner from 2016, an incredible, one-off 1938 Hispano-Suiza Dubonnet Xenia. This dramatic, art deco motor car, with its aero-inspired bodywork was developed by André Dubonnet, an inventor, racing driver and World War One fighter pilot. Dubonnet chose an H6 Hispano-Suiza engine for his creation, and commissioned Jean Andreau to design the incredible, streamlined body. Jacques Saoutchik then brought the design to life, featuring curved glass, sliding doors and a panoramic windscreen. This outrageous car wowed the crowds back in 2016 at Windsor Castle, and is set to enthral guests all over again at Hampton Court in a few weeks’ time.

Another car making a triumphant return will be the Best in Show winner from 2020, a 1969 Porsche 917 KH. The endurance racing Porsche was a crowd favourite throughout that event two years ago, with its imposing design and incredible backstory. In 1970, Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood drove this very same 917 KH (short-tail) in the world-famous red-white Salzburg design to the first ever overall win for Porsche at the famous Le Mans 24 Hours. The 917 marked the first time Porsche competed in the league of immensely powerful, large-capacity racing cars. Its 580bhp 4.5-litre 12-cylinder engine set new standards, and is still legendary today.

These superb former winners will join the display of over 70 rare and spectacular Concours Cars at this September’s glamourous event. Further star cars are set to be announced in the coming weeks. Outside the main display of vehicles, the Concours of Elegance will assemble around 1,000 further cars in a series of special features and displays, as well as a live collector car auction by Gooding & Co.

James Brooks-Ward, Concours of Elegance CEO, said: “As our 10th anniversary event at Hampton Court Palace fast approaches, we are delighted to announce the return of these former ‘Best in Show’ winners. These exceptional motor cars have each stood out in consistently exceptional fields, so having them all together in the Palace grounds at the start of September will be very special indeed. It’s the perfect way for us to celebrate our decade of success. We cannot wait to welcome guests to our event – now just three weeks away – which is set to be our most spectacular yet.”

Away from the automotive displays, Concours of Elegance will once again be an occasion of pure luxury, with champagne provided by Charles Heidsieck, picnics by Fortnum & Mason, and a collection of art, jewellery and fashion displays. Presenting Partner A. Lange & Söhne will once again showcase some of its most intricate timepieces.

Tickets to the Concours of Elegance 2022 are available now from just £35 for half-day entry, with full three-course hospitality packages from £320. Tickets can be bought from concoursofelegance.co.uk/tickets

About the annual Concours of Elegance:
Established in 2012, the inaugural Concours of Elegance was held within Windsor Castle to mark the diamond jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen’s reign. Organised by Thorough Events, the first Concours of Elegance set a new global benchmark for a classic car concours; winning prestigious awards in the process; unheard of for a ‘start-up’ event in its first year. The second Concours of Elegance was held in 2013 to equal fanfare at the historic Royal Palace of St James in London, with the widely acclaimed third Concours set in the stunning grounds of Hampton Court Palace in September 2014, before heading to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in 2015. Only cars of the highest calibre are invited to the Concours of Elegance, from all over the world, painstakingly selected by the Concours Steering Committee; a respected team of authoritative historic car experts. A key objective of the annual Concours of Elegance is to raise significant sums for charity.

Entrevista a Cecilie Manz

Pura comodidad para un factor de bienestar en el baño

Desde el lanzamiento de la serie Luv, el estilo nórdico se ha instalado en el baño. El lenguaje de diseño minimalista de la diseñadora danesa Cecilie Manz invoca el concepto escandinavo de bienestar. Los materiales cuidadosamente concebidos, que también apelan al sentido del tacto, enfatizan unas formas suaves y con una geometría estricta. Una combinación de colores perfectamente armonizados completa la visión general.

¿Qué emoción asocias con la serie de baño Luv, diseñada para Duravit?

Para mí, Luv significa la absoluta comodidad que es capaz de ofrecer un perfecto bienestar: resulta natural, sencilla y discreta.

¿Qué es lo más importante para ti en un baño?

El baño es una de las estancias más íntimas, por lo que características como “limpio” “funcional” y “cómodo” son para mí fundamentales. Todo debe resultar higiénico y de bajo mantenimiento, funcionar bien y al mismo tiempo transmitir una sensación de bienestar gracias a los colores y al ambiente general. En el baño disfruto de mi “momento de spa”.

Los colores y superficies que has seleccionado para la serie de baño Luv irradian calidez natural y, al mismo tiempo, logran parecer contemporáneos. ¿De dónde nace tu inspiración?

En el baño a menudo encuentras colores fríos y claros. Debido a que Luv ofrece un diseño muy puro, para mí era importante crear un componente acogedor utilizando tonos sutiles y naturales. A menudo encuentro inspiración para los colores en la naturaleza: siempre tengo un par de guijarros en mi bolso.

¿Cuáles fueron para ti los mayores desafíos a la hora de diseñar muebles de baño?

No estoy segura de que exista una gran diferencia a la hora de diseñar un mueble para el baño, la sala de estar o la cocina. El proceso de diseño implica el mismo enfoque y pasamos por los mismos procesos. Al mismo tiempo y hasta cierto punto existe una mayor responsabilidad: siento que cada objeto individual que diseño en el baño está fabricado a medida para la persona que lo compra. Eso podría deberse a que cada objeto de este espacio resulta muy importante. Por ejemplo, pueden tenerse varias sillas en el hogar y elegir cuál usar en un momento concreto, u organizar la casa como se quiera y mover objetos constantemente. En cambio en el baño eso no resulta tan fácil. Por eso también creo que las decisiones de los compradores a la hora de elegir muebles de baño son ahora mucho más conscientes.

¿Crees que los deseos de las personas en cuanto a muebles de baño están cambiando?

Parece que los baños tienden a hacerse cada vez más grandes. Por otro lado, también existe la necesidad de equipar baños pequeños pero altamente eficientes. En cualquier caso, esperamos que el nivel de confort que se disfruta en el resto de la casa también forme parte del baño: colores más cálidos, materiales naturales, comodidad y soluciones innovadoras para mantenerlo limpio con un ahorro en el consumo de agua.

Duravit AG

Fundada en 1817 en Hornberg, en la Selva Negra, Duravit AG es hoy un fabricante líder internacional en baños de diseño. La empresa se encuentra presente en más de 130 países en todo el mundo y se caracteriza por la innovación en el diseño original, la aplicación de tecnología que aporta confort y la elevada calidad. En cooperación con una red internacional de diseñadores de alto perfil,

como Philippe Starck, sieger design, Christian Werner, Cecilie Manz y jóvenes talentos como Bertrand Lejoly y Kurt Merki Jr., la empresa desarrolla baños únicos que mejoran la calidad de vida de los usuarios de forma sostenida. La cartera de productos de Duravit comprende cerámica sanitaria, muebles de baño, bañeras y platos de ducha, sistemas de hidromasaje, asientos de lavado, grifería y accesorios, así como sistemas de bastidores.

Dynamiq goes behind the scenes of the 50-metre GTT 160’s timeless design

Dynamiq presents the video encapsulation of what the revolutionary GTT 160 model is all about.

The short film includes statements from Dynamiq, the expert naval architects at Van Ossannen and the cult design guru Claudio Pironi, the mastermind behind GTT 160’s exquisite interiors.

The avant-garde, all-aluminium 49.5-metre vessel represents what Dynamiq thinks is essential for modern superyachts – cool looking, efficient, and focused on a healthy lifestyle. The GTT 160 is aimed at today’s active owners who can’t imagine their holidays without gourmet cuisine, sport, and well-being.

It’s a yacht for owners who like to spend most of their time on deck, in the open air and close to the water, as well as those who want to experience different destinations or cross the Atlantic quickly to enjoy endless summers in the Med and Caribbean on a more manageable and economical size of yacht.

The GTT 160 is complete with bespoke, minimalist interiors by Claudio Pironi, which maximize space and allow you to feel luxury regardless of where you choose to sail.

About DYNAMIQ

Dynamiq was founded in Monaco in 2014 by experienced yacht broker and designer Sergei Dobroserdov, who assembled a ‘dream team’ of world thinkers, engineers and naval architects to turn the next-generation superyacht concept into reality. “I simply believe we can propose something better that offers owners more choice: versatile yachts perfect for any occasion, whether it’s relaxing family cruising, vibrant deck parties and exploring the remotest destinations. Fast but with ocean-going range, easy to order and customise with top world brands,” says founder and CEO Sergei Dobroserdov. Dynamiq is the first company in the superyacht industry to introduce an online configurator, allowing the yacht to be easily and transparently customised down to the last detail. Dynamiq unveiled its first launch, 39m Jetsetter, at the 2016 Monaco Yacht Show to wide acclaim. The following project, the GTT 115, was developed in conjunction with the renowned design firm Studio F.A. Porsche and successfully unveiled at the 2017 MYS. The GTT 135 Stefania (41m), will be delivered in autumn 2021.

Dynamiq has established the most advanced approach in the industry; the yacht can be completely configured online with all necessary extras and options.

Prices and delivery dates are available online at www.bedynamiq.com.
