For Germany as a business location, new growth momentum and modernisation of the state and society are more urgent than ever before. "In 2026, the economic crisis must be overcome and new momentum created. The focus is on the international competitiveness of Germany and Europe as business locations at all levels. Genuine economic policy reforms instead of piecemeal crisis management must now be the motto of the German Federal Government," demands VDMA President Bertram Kawlath in view of the publication of the Economic Policy Positions of the Mechanical and Plant Engineering Industry 2026.
