Innovation, digitisation and efficient infrastructure are decisive drivers for growth, competitiveness and economic resilience today. The German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) pools experiences from industry, commerce and services — revealing how Germany can future-proof its economy with suitable digital and innovation policies. Whether it's broadband expansion and data infrastructure, the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and 3D printing, the promotion of research and development or reducing bureaucracy for investments: the perspectives of companies are brought into the political debate. This ensures that digitisation and innovation not only act as tools for efficiency enhancement but also provide genuine growth drivers and impulses for economic and competitive strength.
