carol: welcome to "bloomberg businessweek." i'm carol massar. this week, a fishy way to grow new skin. rennick.nd i'm oliver activists try to protect germany's elections. all that had right here on "bloomberg businessweek." ♪ carol: we are with the editor-in-chief, and you look at one of my favorite stories. artificial skin using fish skin. reporter: it is rich in the type

of material that is total in helping heal wounds. omega 3. we sometimes forget about the number of people who are afflicted with persistent wound care, whether it is diabetes or you had a burn. they really have developed this market with fish skin. they can be used and is testing better than other products used. another product is a pig intestines. the future is here. we are adapting products, adapting things to do things we never thought possible. using fish skin. wrapping fish skin. product.g this

it really does do something you probably never heard of but you should know and fundamentally can change the way hundreds of millions of people suffer around the world. this could be a real breakthrough. oliver: it harkens back to material science and biomaterials. it is a very specific technological advancement within your guys' broader examination of tech in general. there is a lot of interesting developments happening. how did you choose these to be the most interesting or the most compelling in terms of showing where technology is going? megan: the issue with technology is you want to bring it down to the people. you look at global tech, we did not want to just do an issue where here is a bunch of cool new things. about the to tell you people behind the story. this story is personalized through a guy who found out about this product, traveled to finland because he had a huge issue with his jaw. this is really helping him. the more we put technology in the context of this is what is actually happening and changing everyday lives, it is much more accessible to people and it

thes it sort of out of jetsons, the future. that is what i love this issue so much. not just the technology, it is also the people. carol: this is not just silicon valley. this is a small town. we think everything is happening in san francisco, but it is not. megan: we can't bring that point home to people more than enough. there is very little in silicon valley in this issue. silicon valley is a microcosm. a lot of people have stereotypes and rightly so. i think what is really important is to get the dynamic of how technology is shifting, the centers were it is cropping up, everywhere from india to berlin. that is the unifying thing with technology. it is happening everywhere, all the time and radically reshaping the future. oliver: speaking of berlin and the computer clubs, this is such a bizarre story that has such a meaningful impact on elections. carol: he just wants to be a member. oliver: maybe in spirit. there is a great look at the

people here. tell us what exactly this story is about. megan: we hear a lot about russian hackers and disruption. this is a group in germany that is really well-liked and has been working on safeguarding the german electoral process. german democracy. goulash, come for the stay for the democracy. it is such a different tale of hackers. it's about love and optimism

while hacking these networks. this is a special one and of so profiled. and they have their own cocktail. it is not rum and coke but it is something like that. >> also known as the ccc, which is been around since the early 80's. i have been following them for the last several years. it's a good meeting place to meet up with tech people in germany because among the thousands of members you have people who are information security, people just starting to hack, an older generation of people who helped run some of it biggest tech companies in germany, as well as teenagers and little kids who are learning the trade. that is part of what they are trying to do. it started in the early 1980's in hamburg as a warning about the dangers of what could happen with computer technology. now we see some of the things with hacking, etc. we are looking at them now because of the latest threat which is the threat to democracy. oliver: that is the core issue. how this group has a guerrilla resistance against some of the

things happening around the world. tell us about where this came from. you mentioned the original idea that was put together, but who sort of were the founding people and how does the composition of the group look now? >> at the beginning there was a philosopher, one of the cofounders. he had a manifesto and they started talking about hacker ethics. by the time you got through to the 1980's and 1990's they had performed some spectacular public hacks. early pay per view websites. they found out how to get a bank to pay them for automated clicks roughlyey gathered

$50,000. they returned it to the bank. they cap fingerprints of german officials while promoting biometrics on passports and showed how easy it was to get a minister's fingerprint off a glass at a conference. they reproduced it in their own magazine on pieces of rubber and it could be read by a thumbprint reader. these are stunts that helped them advertised to the german public that they should be wary about what they read in the newspapers and from politicians with promises made to them by banks and governments about their own personal cybersecurity. they continue to this day to do that kind of thing. one of the crucial things is democracy-wise, 10 years ago they did the same thing with the voting computers. they said these are vulnerable. we should teach them how to play chess. the maker said i would like to see that. within a month they had one of these very rudimentary consoles playing chess. badly, but playing chess. carol: why is a germany is seemingly years or decades ahead of the united states, the u.k., the united kingdom in terms of thinking about cyberattacks and hacking? how can they are so much ahead of everybody else?

>> what was interesting was it started looking at the data gathered around the world from interference in fake news and elections. one thing we saw was an internet institute at oxford that is been tracking twitter activities. and what they found was there is much higher levels of professionally may news than -- made-up news and other content on german twitter been the u.s. or the u.k. in the run-up to elections. the answers we got were the terrible history in germany, from nazism to the secret police who used surveillance on people. right up to this grassroots

resistance of the chaos computer club, and away you don't see in any other countries. digital human rights organizations. it is a hacker group but also a lobby group. carol: inside the magazine and online you will find interesting computer the chaos club. here's clinton cargill. >> we thought it would be incredibly photogenic and you wanted to capture this wild and woolly energy of this group of 800 people. carol: this certainly captures the chaos. it is just nuts. right? >> right, yeah. the programming nights is a public event they do to bring it to a wider audience of the german public. they do it with panache. ghoulash, both vegan

and with meat. they set up temporary kiddie pools and floating chairs and all kinds of wacky energy. carol: show us some of the other pictures. my guess that you guys describing it for the story, there are probably so many different things you can shoot. there was a lot of activity going on. you did show the goulash. >> and this, this is a great moment. this unicorn mask. hiptsterike an iconic -- hipster thing. looking at- sick of ofactually but it sort signifies a certain kind of youthful energy. shoes off. they set of these large banks of

servers in what was an old german factory in southwestern germany. it just was the kind of -- like a sort of coding rave. there was an energy. carol: it is not like it is this. it is just a ton of people working on this. >> whatever kind of seating they can find. just really getting into it. carol: up next, nokia fights to stay relevant. oliver: we will tell you in which industry. carol: this is "bloomberg businessweek." ♪

♪ carol: welcome back to "bloomberg businessweek." nokia is working on making itself over. oliver: it is betting its destiny on 5g destiny gear. >> they can't dominate the mobile phone market for about 10-15 years. they were basically the top of the market, beating up motorola and folks like that before falling pretty precipitously off

the cliff. oliver: and that country is finland? >> right. [laughter] oliver: what are they doing right now? they used to be so ubiquitous. when i saw the story i thought nokia, title that was a perfect title. >> they are pretty much out of the consumer market. their clients basically are verizon, deutsche telekom. providers.obile -- they sell them kin dof hardware, the cell towers and software that runs them. carol: they sold her handset

business to microsoft. >> a couple of years the handset is this was doing terribly. they got out of it by selling to microsoft. carol: what happened from being ubiquitous, owning the mobile phone market, then all of a sudden not? >> the iphone happened. it happened to a lot of people but nokia was one of the biggest victims. they basically made a lot of money on these phones. they made them fairly cheaply. they were reluctant to start putting in these touchscreens, which were expensive. they either opted for a cheaper model touchscreen or not at all. people just did not want the phones anymore. even in finland. oliver: that is not good when he connected a home base. now they are basically partnering with big technology companies. is it about data services, communication services? i mean, where are they providing an essential service? >> it is basically all the stuff that happens between my phone in your phone. nokia provides that. it is the actual transmitter, the radio transmitters, the antenna. increasingly is the software that runs all this stuff. it is more and more software-based. it is figuring out ways to use

the limited bandwidth to satisfy people's hunger. oliver: we are not talking about the operating system. basically the software that turns the sound voice into a digital signal in the back into it the sound of a voice at the other end. it basically routes all the stuff that keeps track of are you a verizon customer. it is all this stuff making this complex choreography happen. carol: they are also making a big bet on future choreography in the form of 5g. >> there are long periods where people are slowly upgrading or maintaining the networks. then every several years there is a jump to a new generation of wireless standard. 5g is the next one. it is due to start coming online in a couple of years. carol: but not here yet? >> there are a few limited, city-based trials going on. south korea is hoping to have a system in place for the olympics. it is still a couple of years off.

carol: does it work so well? understandm what i antennas to figure out --some places it is not so easy. >> it is definitely complicated. the consensus is the problems are solvable, but there are tricky problems to be solved. the other question is whether we will need this. a lot of this stuff, for you and me, 4g works pretty well for the uses we need. the argument nokia makes is there is a holding that whole new generation of stuff we will do with this increased capability. carol: such as? >> the internet of things. it is machines talking to each other, wireless cars, automated factories where all these robots can basically be much more fluid because they are not tied to a cable. oliver: smart homes. >> exactly. all these other things are going to get smarter and required data. we will need this new bandwidth. oliver: up next, why china is

missing the chips rush. carol: and a restless hong kong greets china's president. oliver: this is bloomberg. ♪

♪ oliver: welcome back. i'm oliver rennick. massar.nd i'm carol you can listen to us on radio on sirius xm, 106.1 fm, a.m. 1330 in boston. oliver: and in asia on the bloomberg radio plus app. u.s. lawmakers have record deal making in the chip industry. >> unprecedented. nothing like this has happened in the 40 or 50 years of the chip industry. getting together at a rapid pace and consolidating into a few concentrated companies that are responsible for the majority of production. >> the cost of production is helping fuel the m&a pace we see in the semiconductor space.

when it comes to chinese companies that want to be in that consolidation wave they are being left out. how come? >> there is a geopolitical aspect to this. the semiconductor industry is primarily a u.s. industry. china is the biggest market for chips. 59% i believe of the overall market is actually sold into china. it is really a u.s. industry. the fastest way to get expertise, the fastest way to get market share is to go out and buy it. buy companies, and the u.s. government does not want that to happen. oliver: let's talk about one specific person in the story. it's an interesting anecdote. tells us about darren billerbeck's story. ian: he is representative of the things we talked about. lattice semiconductor.

not a particularly big company, they specialize in one sort of niche. they got to that point of going to billions of dollars of revenue. it is really too much for them. they were looking around for a buyer. china is out there. it has a national policy of saying we will build our own industry. that is something that is attractive if you are darren and lattice. there were talks, there was a partner found in every thing screeched to a halt when it's ready information from the u.s. government to allow the technology to go to china. carol: there is an interesting stat in your story that jumped out at me. the 10 largest semiconductor makers control about 56% of the global market. that share is rising. none are based in china, which is ironic considering china is such a huge buyer of chips. they buy the most.

ian: just to put that into perspective, bernstein did a report on imports of chips to china outweigh imports of oil in terms of total value. from the chinese perspective that is a huge strategic outflow of money. not to mention defense and other elements to the semiconductor industry that having those industries in-house gives you. carol: president xi just made his first visit to hong kong since taking office. oliver: he was greeted by pro-democracy protests. here is matt phillips. what do we know about the current standing between xi jinping and hong kong? matt: it is a little chilled i would say. xi jinping, for the first time since becoming president in 2012 is visiting hong kong to mark the 20th anniversary of its handover from the british to the chinese. in that handover, the terms stated china would basically

give hong kong is freedom and authority for 50 years. there is concern increasingly over the past couple of years that beijing is encroaching on those terms. there have been a lot of protest in hong kong recently, particularly among young people who want democracy and making free speech. they want to maintain the auspices of the freedoms they have had. carol: i remember they handover, reporting on it. it was a big deal at the time. 20 years later, those freedoms in place and the people of hong kong and joining the freedom. what will be xi's message? is he going to push back on those freedoms?

matt: this message is going to be twofold. one, it will be be careful what you wish for in terms of protests. on the other hand, he wants to be positive with his message and say there is a lot to be gained to strengthen the economic ties between hong kong, which is a huge financial hub, and mainland china. oliver: i think there was a stronger bargaining power between hong kong and china at the onset of this relation to because hong kong was at a time where it's economic growth and its economic strength was a much bigger boom to china's overall economy. as the growth of china eroded sort of the negotiating power hong kong has? matt: in 1997, hong kong was almost 20% of china's overall gdp. they had a lot of room to stand on and negotiate from. now, it is like 3%. china has grown tremendously over the past 20 years. they have a lot more leverage and they are not going to

necessarily stand for some of the anti-chinese rhetoric we have been seeing recently. we have seen some crackdowns where booksellers selling anti-communist paraphernalia and works get abducted and disappear and wind up apologizing in the mainland a few weeks later. there are questions about whether hong kong has diminished in terms of his leverage. let's remember it remains under british common law. free speech as an independent judiciary. it has free market capitalist economy which is tricky the kind of fit into the one party policy of china. this has been a relationship that has been fraught for years. three years ago in 2014, massive protests.

they want direct elections. they didn't get them. carol: how low-cost satellites are changing life on earth. oliver: this is "bloomberg businessweek." ♪

♪ oliver: welcome back to "bloomberg businessweek," i am oliver renick. carol: and i'm carol massar. why additional payments are not being taken out of india. how satellites are transforming space and earth. oliver: all of that ahead on "bloomberg businessweek." ♪ ♪ oliver: we are back with editor-in-chief megan murphy. india for a while now trying to find a way to wean its people off of currency, paper currency.

how is that going? megan: this was a shock move in november to try and take down the bank notes in circulation, which he said was a method to stop corruption and cut down on that by taking some of those out of circulation. this is a country where 98% of consumer transactions were done with paper so the scramble to moving to digital payments, withdrawing moneys from atm's, whether they can scale up, whether the digital infrastructure is there to allow them to make this change when that amount of cash is withdrawn from the system, is a problem. carol: is there a way to change the trust deficit. you know, the pushback.

megan: we see this not only in india but other areas of africa in particular. when people start with mobile payments or digital payments, either it becomes intrinsic to sort of the community and they accepted and it moves forward and becomes part and parcel, or but when you are trying to overhaul and change a culture into doing something different, that is much harder. in africa a you have seen huge transactions of mobile payments because people have never done those things. i think the success rate will be geometric. they have so much invested in i think they have so much invested in doing it. but it is challenging. it is an unwieldy place with all its chaos and craziness to begin with, which is the best part. aroundraling that digital payment is tricky. oliver: when there is a economy

where 90% of commerce is done in cash transactions, that is not the best starting place to try and digitize everything. are they set on this? has the government decided, this is what we are going to work to? megan: i think they will get there. there is these huge queues at atm's. there are stockpiles of worthless banknotes that are just no longer valuable. by the way, there is other countries that are not india -- the u.k. has made a shift to take certain pound coins out of circulation. this is not something totally new, just doing it on this scale is surprising people. carol: the majority of indians do not have access to the internet. that is problematic. megan: one thing you will see across all economies is it not so much the broadband access, it is the mobile access. even in countries with a are still using 2g, in world parts of the world they do not have smartphones and are using the phones people used a decade ago. it is adapting that technology to work across your mobile versus where we visualize the

inter-web. [laughter] oliver: let's bring it back to global tech and talk about the exciting cover story about space. there is a lot to talk about with space. what did you choose to analyze? megan: i use this word rarely, but this is truly majestic and this is one that i am really passionate about because i grew up as a kid wanting to be an astronaut. what actually really goes into is just how cheap the race for space is, how accessible it has become, how important it has become to our everyday lives in cataloging, surveilling, giving us a picture of what is going on in the world in real time every moment. it is not just google earth and google maps. it is making this technology so accessible to a broader spectrum of people and a new fascinating tale of the new space race.

which is very different than tthe one i grew up with. carol: and a reminder that satellites are everywhere. we have more on this story from ashlee vance. ashlee: there's this really interesting moment that is happening where the cost of satellites has come down a lot, much better consumer electronics and all of these trends we see throughout the technology world. the size of the satellites has come down so you have these companies rushing to kind of reinvent a lot of the communications that take place in space, the imaging that takes place in space, and the types of science that you can do there as well. there is kind of this blue mode of satellite startups. >> i wondered if this tied into more of a private sector look at space. is it more of a reflection of -- for example in the u.s. when we think about those making the biggest strides i think about spacex and elon musk. i do not really think about nasa

so much. [laughter] >> i mean, obviously, that is still happening but not quite to the extent that a previous generation would expect. ashlee: that is absolutely right. elon and spacex started in about 2002 and that was kind of this proving point, that a private individual could start a space company. elon did his rockets and generated a lot of interest in space, and in the last two years we have seen venture capital flooding into private space companies. i think in 2016 the amount of venture capital that went into space was double what we had seen in the last 15 years. and so elon kind of proved you could do this stuff, made investors more comfortable, and now we are seeing people experiment.

carol: ashlee, let's talk about some of the other players in this space. you talk about a company called planet lab. what are they and what are they doing? ashlee: they are based near san francisco. it was three guys that used to work at nasa and they saw that electronics are getting so much better and cheaper, and specifically smartphones were packing so much horsepower into this tiny package that about seven or eight years ago they decided to kind of rethink the satellite. they thought, what if we can take all the electronics in the smartphone and base a satellite office? your satellite would cost about $1 million versus about $300 million for a digital imaging satellite. you could put up dozens if not hundreds of these things and surround the earth. so planet has done that, they have put up about 160 tiny satellites and the first company in history, the first organization in history that can take a picture of every spot on

the earth every day. not even the nsa or cia can do this so planet is this daily picture of the earth that they sell companies and giveaway to nonprofits. >> we knew this was coming and we got to dive into the how, as i'm sure it is a tough one to walk through, right give us sort of the laymen's breakdown of how this can happen. these satellites, how do you control that small item in the vastness of space? ashlee: that is something these guys have to solve. a typical imaging satellite is about the size of a bus. it has a huge lens and you get very high resolution images. the problem has been they are not looking at the earth all the time, you have to task them to look at a specific spot. planet took this other approach where they create almost like a shell around the earth that is constantly imaging.

the satellites are smaller so the resolution is not quite as good, but they place them closer to the earth to improve the picture and it is really crazy software and algorithms that manage this fleet of satellites. and, you know, each one is tasked every day with taking a picture of an area about the size of mexico, and then they bring all this data to these ground stations on the earth, and then software assembles this imaging and cleans it up and you can search it just like you do google earth. >> it is like a pixelation of a picture, you fill in the dots and you get a complete picture. it is pretty amazing. i mean, we are getting to a point, i do not know if we are already there, to mapping every section of the earth's surface? ashlee: planet, as of february, i went to india for their most recent rocket launch and they have been at this for about five years but in february they sent

up 88 new satellites. those joined about 60 satellites already flying so it takes them a while to spread out. right now as we are talking, they are able to get this daily image of every square inch of the earth. oliver: up next, chobani rethinks its recipe. oliver: this is "bloomberg businessweek." ♪

>> founded in 2005 in new york, 2007. shelves in at the time 10 years ago americans basically did not eat greek yogurt. >> a turkish immigrant, the founder, basically showed up with nothing and introduced americans to greek yogurt. they hit $1 billion in sales the first year, a company taking on giants were there had not been much innovation. you had dannon and yoplait. a lot of people eating yogurt, shifting to greek. chobani has explosive growth for the first five years. they run into some trouble. they built a massive new plants, there was a recall, they had trouble filling orders. there was a feeling the founder

have tove to go, they'd get a new ceo. that all settle down and they have rebounded in a big way. a past year play as the top-selling yogurt in the country last year and they are going to take on conventional yogurt, which is interesting because they have built their company around the idea that greek is better. their argument is traditional yogurt is artificial, overly sweet, it is boring. they are saying eat greek, now we have our greek products but we will come in with traditional yogurt. oliver: you mentioned yoplait and you mentioned chobani zoomed to the beginning of the pack. who are its competitors? carol: you have dannon, right? >> chobani is the top-selling brand, dannon is the biggest, they have tons of brands. they have oikos, activa.

if you go to a dairy case in any supermarket a lot of that stuff is dannon. yoplait controls as much as 25% of the market around 2011. in the middle of the country, big areas, people still buying a lot of youplait and there has been other greek companies coming into the market. there is australian style, siggy's which is icelandic, so a lot of sort of smaller brands that have taken it into a competitive category. >> how does chobani think they will be able to do something different in the conventional market? >> the yogurt category is declining. greek yogurt down 5%, regular yogurt down 3%. that has basically been yoplait, a disaster for general mills. 22% in q4 forn them/

they have really struggled with yoplait and the feeling is, the argument chobani is making is that is weighing down the category. the numbers they are saying are not as bad as they look. >> is he right? >> he is right that your is weighing down the numbers, but greek has slowed down. it has been around for 10 years, it rocketed up and it is plateauing. we have to do something to drive the next 10 years of growth. chobani wants to take over. they passed yoplait and they want to pass dannon. carol: 84 lumber is trying to encourage kids to skip college. oliver: and work in construction. >> there is a shortage of skilled workers so they are trying to fill manager trainee jobs, they have factories where they build roof trusses and wall panels, and they are struggling to find the right talent. just because there are not that many people out there who are, with the skills to do the job. >> what kind of jobs are they looking for? what do they typically pay? >> manager trainees, this could be someone out of high school or who did a little college, they start out at about $40,000 and then they can make a million dollars. they have a lot of people who make about $200,000. these are store managers.

everywhere in between. i would say most of them are making about $100,000. oliver: i wonder if you can sort of place lumber 84, place where 84 lumber and this project and this sort of effort by them fits into this larger problem which is trying to get employees for these more sort of sophisticated type jobs that are not the old school, traditional industrial roles, how does it fit into the overall effort in the u.s. for companies to bring these types of employees in? >> one of the issues is

vocational education has kind of gone out of fashion. in america, we kind of had a track system until the early 1980's where if you are sort of not as academically inclined you could learn how to be a plumber or how to fix cars, and you would be ready for a job out of high school. we do not really have that anymore, or in a very limited way we have it. so a lot of people are pushed toward four-year college. most try a little college and half of those people drop out. the ones who dropped out have the debt and they are not really prepared for the kinds of jobs that these companies are trying to fill. oliver: one iphone designer sees a future without screens. carol: the digital activist fighting human prejudices in machines. oliver: this is "bloomberg businessweek." ♪

emma: she is doing this initiative to change that, trying to lobby different companies to use different algorithms so that people of color are more included. it is really interesting. oliver: i like the name of the group which is the algorithmic justice league. what they are actually doing is basically trying to incorporate more data sets into the ones that exist. emma: exactly, and she has a group working on this. she has given a 10 talk that has -- a ted talk on this topic that has been viewed almost 10,000 times. it is an issue that people do care about when they know about it but it is one of these things when she got into the industry, she thought, no one is talking about this. carol: it is so wild that we use technology and are starting to use facial analysis a lot more, it is important that we are inclusive. emma: the example i found even more interesting was the zip
