𝐃𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟ä𝐥𝐥𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐛𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬𝐟ä𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐤𝐞𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐭 𝐳𝐮𝐫ü𝐜𝐤. A study by the European Center for Digital Competitiveness on the 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐛𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬𝐟ä𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐤𝐞𝐢𝐭 gives Germany a poor report card. According to this study, the Federal Republic has landed in the international comparison for the second time in a row 𝐚𝐮𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐦 𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐳𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐳 𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 (𝐆𝟕)industrialized nations.

Countries such as Italy and France, on the other hand, have made up decent ground in the rankings. Compared with the G20 countries (the 20 most important industrialized and emerging countries), we are also far behind in third last place.

In Handelsballt, Philip Meissner, lead author of the study and professor at ESCP Business School in Berlin, complains that "there's a lot of talk about digitization in Germany, but relatively little is happening." The reality in the election campaign looks even worse: In the first TV three-way fight between the candidates for chancellor, the opponents and moderators simply dropped the topic of digitization under the table.

We looked into it and it measures up on the following parameters:

'Ö𝐤𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦

' Availability of venture capital

' Cost of starting a business

' Time to start a business

' Ease of hiring foreign labor

' Qualifications of graduates

𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭ä𝐭

' Digital skills of the labor force

' Attitudes toward entrepreneurial risk

' Diversity of the workforce

' Mobile broadband subscriptions

' Companies embracing breakthrough ideas.

When we look at broadband rollout in Germany, we really wonder how heavy-handed we are in tackling the issue of digitization. What's your take on the issue?
