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.

HOW RESILIENT WAS THE UK REAL ESTATE MARKET BEFORE COVID 19

As you all know the UK market is one of the strongest markets in the world, attracting thousands to invest in prime areas. In 2019 the national housing price growth come to a standstill due the lack of supply, this was a positive for landlords as the rental growth saw a slight increase during 2019 due to declining availability of homes to let. So, this just shows there was a Supply vs Demand issue that we were facing.

The private rents in London on average rose by 0.9% in nominal terms in the year to June 2019 (ONS). This is up from -0.2% in June 2018 and marks seven consecutive months of positive nominal rental growth.

DID THE PANDEMIC IMPACT THE REAL ESTATE MARKET

The whole world was on a standstill and the property prices fell sharply after the onset of COVID-19 when the ockdown measures restricted the completion of property transactions.However, they quickly recovered, reaching a new record peak by November 2020.

These increases were mainly driven by the policies introduced early on to support businesses, household incomes and the housing market. These boosts to demand interacted with the decades- long under supply of housing – exacerbated by even worse than usual construction levels in Q2 2020.

Movement restrictions introduced in the second quarter of the year followed by the gradual easing of restrictions and the subsequent introduction of a property transaction tax holiday in July 2020 (which was due to run until March 2021) have made 2020 an unusual year in the housing market.

HMRC estimates pointed towards a 14.9% yearon-year increase in UK residential property transactions over 2021-22 (1,374,050), with annual volumes reaching their highest level since 2007- 08 (1,473,950) and year-on-year growth in the post-financial crisis era surpassed only by that in 2013-14 (22.8%).

Despite transaction volumes contracting for three consecutive quarters through Q4 2021, from the record high of Q2 2021 and as a combination of temporary stimulus support being wound down and exponential growth in house prices pressured affordability for many, quarterly transaction volumes remained both above or in line with the long-term average, and above levels recorded during the lockdown nadir through near-term post-lockdown recovery period.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE MARKET NOW

As a result of the fall and the subsequent recovery of London rents during the pandemic, annual increases in average asking rents were at a high of 15.8% in the second quarter of 2022, with Rightmove recording the highest annual growth ever in any region.

Demand for private rental homes remains above supply in London and there are signs that both supply and demand are continuing to increase slowly, despite reports of many landlords considering leaving the market.

According to the House Price Index from the ONS, London house prices rose by 7.9% over the year to April, up from 4.9% annual growth in March. The average house price was highest in
Kensington & Chelsea at £1.5 million, and lowest in Barking & Dagenham at £336,000.

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.

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.”

Paradox DB7 Video Doorbell adds surveillance protection to home or business security.

Paradox DB7 – FHD Video Doorbell

Loud and crisp audio. Finally, talking and understanding.

Paradox DB7 Video Doorbell adds surveillance protection to home or business security. It integrates security with style into your daily life. With the DB7, you will get verification of every visitor to your property entrance. The DB7 allows you to see and clearly hear who is at your entrance 24/7, and Paradox servers will keep your visitors’ events up to 60 days (a monthly charge applies).

The DB7 provides FHD video (1920×1080) and two-way communication speakerphone supported with 2.5W rms power and high quality speaker, delivering crisp conversations. The DB7 captures 5-second pre-event recordings, with exceptional video in dark conditions, complimented by night IR illumination. Push events can alert if anyone approaches even if they don’t ring the doorbell, with PIR and/or video detection.

Integrated with Paradox systems, a door opening can be easily configured with a panel PGM or with Paradox access control. Video and audio data is encrypted with AES. The DB7 uses video H.264 data compression to save bandwidth.

Adding internal wireless chime anywhere on the site is easy with the optional DBC5 wireless chime.

BlueEye Application

The newly designed Paradox BlueEye mobile app in conjunction with the Swan server, manages the alarm system, access, lights and garage doors, and also answer calls or connect anytime to the DB7 to view, listen, and talk when desired. Swan service keeps the history of recordings for 60 days when subscribed to recording services. History files can be viewed, downloaded, and protected from editing while in Paradox video format. The BlueEye application is used to configure easily and customize the DB7.

Video Encryption

DB7 videos are encrypted with 256 byte TLS encryption. Paradox can not decrypt the videos stored on our recording servers, only permitted users can choose to decrypt and share video files from the application. Safe, secure and private.

The installation works with existing doorbell wires, but does NOT support bell in series, wide supply range of 12-24 Vac or DC and 500 mA / 7.5W minimum. Connects via WiFi. Internal wireless chime can be added easily with the DBC5 accessory.

The DB7 is an outdoor device; in case of theft, or if vandalized, Paradox offers an insurance program. When enrolled, the DB7 is replaced once a year, no questions asked, and two times more per year at $50 cost. All stolen/ damaged DB7’s will be blacklisted and can’t be used anymore.
