Digitalisation remains Achilles' heel

On the upcoming Cabinet decision regarding the Federal Government's Action Programme for implementing the National Circular Economy Strategy, Sebastian Bolay, DIHK Head of Department for Energy, Environment, and Industry, explains:

03/06/2026 - "What is important for businesses is that planning certainty is finally increased. The Federal Government’s priority list includes significant incentives for strengthening the circular economy. The key factor is that these measures are now implemented promptly and in a practical manner.

However, the Achilles' heel in a successful transformation to the Circular Economy remains digitalisation. Without successful digitalisation, the Federal Government will not achieve the goals of its Circular Economy Strategy."
