Digitalisation and Regional Development

Digitalisation, smart cities, and vibrant regions – enabling economy and society to keep pace. Cluster 8 of Economic Policy Positions focuses on stable digital infrastructure, efficient processes, and modern frameworks for sustainable economic and living environments.

Germany needs digital and spatially balanced development – with fast data connections, accessible administration, stable digital networks, and intelligent cities. As part of Cluster 8, the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry advocates for consistent digitalisation, targeted regional development support, and sustainable urban development. The goal is to leverage economic opportunities in all regions, streamline administrative processes, and combine quality of life with economic strength. This paves the way for a competitive, modern, and forward-looking economy.
