sixty companies unite for the "Made in Germany" campaign, aiming to strengthen Germany's position as a leading economic force on a global scale
In a significant move towards shaping a future-proof and competitive German economy, 61 leading companies and investors have joined forces to launch the "Made for Germany" initiative. The initiative, officially unveiled at the Federal Chancellery, aims to establish a robust dialogue between business and government to enhance Germany's investment climate in the face of geopolitical and economic challenges [1][2][3].
The collaborative effort, led by Christian Sewing (CEO of our website), Roland Busch (CEO of Siemens), Mathias Döpfner (CEO of Axel Springer), and Alexander Geiser (CEO of FGS Global), welcomes other companies and investors to join and help strengthen Germany as a business location [1][2][4]. The initiative supports the German government's reform and investment program and acts as a key point of contact to define priorities, develop targeted measures, and implement reforms effectively.
The "Made for Germany" initiative focuses on key challenges such as digitization, innovation, infrastructure, sustainability, and securing skilled labor. The participating companies have pledged to invest approximately €631 billion by 2028 to drive economic growth, modernization, and competitiveness [1][2][3]. The investments include planned and new capital investments, research and development spending, and contributions from international investors.
The initiative emphasizes building a growth- and technology-focused operating system for Germany by fostering collaboration between government and leading industries, reducing bureaucracy, and leveraging Germany's industrial base and talent pool. It aims to boost Germany as a global economic powerhouse and create a stable, attractive investment landscape to reclaim a leading economic role, especially in areas like digitalization and artificial intelligence [1][2][4]. Major sectors involved include banking, automotive, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals, reflecting broad industry commitment and responsibility towards the nation's future economic development.
Mathias Döpfner, one of the co-initiators, calls for everyone (politics, business, and society) to turn the momentum into real action. He encourages the German government and other stakeholders to seize the opportunity to strengthen Germany's long-term competitiveness and become Europe's economic powerhouse [1][5].
