Welcome to DenkManufaktur – Where Strategy, Innovation, and Action Converge

For more than three decades, DenkManufaktur has stood at the forefront of incisive analysis, audacious ideas, and practical solutions. Founded in 1992 by Michael Dürr (formerly of Börse Online, Portfolio Management, Baring Securities, and Goldman Sachs Ltd.), DenkManufaktur AG—successor to IR Investor Relations AG and Logic Unlimited—has grown into a dynamic, employee-driven think tank with global reach. We’re large enough to take on the biggest challenges, yet agile enough to give every client the close, personalized guidance they deserve.

Innovation Powered by Reason & Research
At DenkManufaktur, truth and excellence drive every step of our journey. We don’t just follow trends—we interrogate reality to deliver genuine, lasting value. Guided by logic and rigorous analysis, we transform complex insights into strategies you can act on. Our integrated approach—analyzing, brokering, creating, developing, financing, handling, investing, and negotiating—ensures that every idea is not only conceived but also cultivated and sustained.

Global Perspectives & Unrivaled Access
Our independent research and analysis offer more than raw data—they deliver clarity and direction. From comprehensive valuations, sector studies, and strategic blueprints to country reports, ratings, and cutting-edge investment insights, our work empowers you to stay ahead of the curve. Drawing on a one-of-a-kind network of global leaders and experts, we translate economic and geopolitical trends into actionable intelligence. Whether it’s guiding central banking reforms, exploring emerging fintech opportunities, or evaluating alternative currencies, we provide the foresight you need to navigate an ever-shifting landscape.

Proven Expertise & High-Stakes Insights
DenkManufaktur’s capabilities span financial analysis, M&A, central banking, CBDCs, marketing, communications, and innovation management. We excel at spotlighting critical shifts—like the heightened scrutiny of public central banks or the rise of activist shareholder movements. Consider South Africa’s publicly traded central bank, a live demonstration of how the redistribution of power and capital can spark both opportunities and disputes. Our investigative efforts, such as the “Project Spear” exposé, have even revealed systemic bank fraud—stories often overshadowed by external pressures.

Looking Beneath the Surface
What you’ve seen so far is just the beginning. We excel at challenging entrenched power structures, shining light on untold narratives, and guiding you through financial frontiers that most never dare to explore. With rigorous research, fearless analysis, and solutions that drive true transformation, DenkManufaktur helps you leave a meaningful imprint on a rapidly evolving world.
