The EU Commission has launched a survey on the Digital Omnibus—a law that aims to simplify EU digital regulations. The VDMA is participating and calling upon the EU to be bold in simplifying.

Instead of promoting innovation in the single market, EU digital laws have become hurdles in many places. The EU legislator must therefore use the digital omnibus to fundamentally correct digital regulation.

Part 4 of our series of talks on the Mechanical Engineering Summit 2025: Professor Claus Oetter shows how digital business models and AI are changing the industry - and what role the VDMA is playing in the transformation.

The VDMA, together with the ZVEI, the German Pharmaceutical Industry Association, and the German Chemical Industry Association (VCI), has sent an open letter to Digital Minister Dr. Karsten Wildberger.

The EU Commission wants to reduce bureaucracy for small-mid caps (SMCs) - for example in the GDPR, the F-Gas Regulation and the Battery Regulation. Larger companies should also benefit - for example through the digitalization of documentation obligations.

The machinery industry is calling for a thorough state reform in Germany to increase industrial competitiveness. The EU, too, must get the economic development in Europe back on track.

Mechanical engineering is at the data source for Industry 4.0, and secure data rooms are essential for their valuable use.

At the 14th German Mechanical Engineering Summit, discover the Industrial Metaverse: Future of Digital Networking. Experience opportunities and challenges, discuss potential for sustainable business and actively shape the future.

In the daily political debate, good arguments are the be-all and end-all. In the VDMA's brief positions you will find short statements on current controversial issues.
