Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISIGerman industry's potential – value creation, resilience and strategic advantages
In view of the growing geopolitical and structural challenges for the manufacturing industry in Germany, numerous questions arise for the future of German's industry. Against this background, the study aims to analyse the industrial location economically, taking into account the key findings on the decarbonisation of industry, and to further develop and specify the need for action for German industrial policy on this basis. The main focus of the study is on identifying comparative advantages and economic sectors that can make a significant contribution to Germany's economic strength today and/or in the future. In addition, attention is also drawn to areas that are fundamental to the strategic sovereignty of Germany and the EU.
