“The example of the automotive sector, the shift towards electric cars, there, many German companies have been too slow. They have enjoyed the success of the 2010s and they have been too slow in understanding that they need to change and adapt.”

17. SOUNDBITE (English) Marcel Fratscher, President of the German Institute for Economic Research:
“The German government needs to have a major initiative on investment. We have a bad environment concerning infrastructure, innovation, education and climate change or climate protection and as well as security. These are the five areas requiring massive additional investment, which stands in contrast and conflicts with a debt brake, which does not make that possible, so, they need to solve that issue.”

21. SOUNDBITE (English) Klaus Geissdoerfer, CEO of EBM-Papst:
“And now, instead of implementing measures, they (employees) write paper and chase reports. And so we’re lacking the capacity to get the good things done. And instead of this, we just report. And we need to get away with this. This makes no sense. And those are examples we need to really work on and I really hope with the new government in Germany we can get this solved, because at the moment it’s too much bureaucracy.”
