Data is the new oil. But can companies actually find and protect it?

Every company is sitting on an increasingly valuable asset: its data.

In the AI era, the ability to find, structure, access and use that data is becoming a competitive advantage. At the same time, the same information creates growing challenges around cybersecurity, data protection, compliance and secure storage. AI needs data to create value — but companies first need to know where their information is, how to access it, how to protect it and what should ultimately be retained or securely destroyed.

This transformation is creating a new market opportunity.

On October 28th, 2026, at 11:00 am (CET), we invite entrepreneurs and business leaders to join our live webinar:

Data Management: A New Income Stream

During this 90-minute live session, we will look beyond REISSWOLF and examine the broader economic and technological forces reshaping the data-management industry.

The numbers already point to a significant transition. In 2025, only 71% of EU SMEs had reached at least a basic level of digital intensity, while the EU's 2030 target is above 90%. At the same time, 20% of EU enterprises were already using AI technologies, compared with 13.5% just one year earlier. (ec.europa.eu)

As digitalisation and AI accelerate, companies face a fundamental question: how do we turn growing volumes of information into a usable asset without turning them into a security and compliance liability?

Ana Hueni, International Franchise Director, and Zahra Qellal, International Franchise Manager, will explore these macro trends, the digitalisation gap, the impact of AI, data-protection and cybersecurity pressures, and what they mean for the future of the document and information-management industry.

We will then look at how REISSWOLF has evolved over more than 40 years — from physical data protection to archiving, digitalisation and digital data management — and how entrepreneurs can participate in this changing market through an established international franchise network.

Our special guest, Helena Bogovac, Executive Director of REISSWOLF Serbia, will bring the business opportunity to life through a real case study: how REISSWOLF Serbia developed its business to manage data across three facilities in less than ten years, what the journey required and what she has learned along the way.

And we want your questions.

We are reserving the final 30 minutes exclusively for an open Q&A.

This part of the webinar will not be recorded, creating a confidential space where participants can ask direct questions about the market, the franchise model, investment, operations, opportunities, and the realities of developing a data-management business.

This is a rare opportunity to explore an industry being reshaped simultaneously by AI, digitalisation, cybersecurity and data-protection requirements, while speaking directly with both the international REISSWOLF team and an experienced franchise partner.

If you are looking for ways to diversify your existing business or are exploring where the next generation of B2B opportunities may emerge, join us on October 28th.

Data is already one of your customers' most valuable assets. The opportunity lies in helping them find it, manage it and protect it under the REISSWOLF prestigious brand umbrella. Join us to see how you can join our network and step into a growing.
