\nGermany should be restored to a growth path and should give new impulse to innovation, along with its European partners. Because prosperity is a significant guarantor of a stable democracy. Digital sovereignty is the anchor of a strong Europe. Germany can once again be a country of pioneering innovation and a pacesetter for the continent. For this, comprehensive modernization of the state is indispensable. The Bertelsmann Stiftung presented its proposals at the annual press conference.<\/p>\n
G\u00fctersloh, 29.04.2025 (News Aktuell).- In order to make Germany more competitive and fit for the future, the Bertelsmann Stiftung recommends the following:<\/p>\n
\nincreasing total private and public sector expenditure in research and innovation to at least 3.5 per cent of gross domestic product<\/p>\n
\nbetter exploiting society\u2019s entrepreneurial potential with a view to raising the number of startup launches by 30 per cent<\/p>\n
\nonce again turning Germany, in collaboration with its European partners, into a frontrunner in the technologies of the future<\/p>\n
\ndriving forward innovative technologies in the energy sector and competitive electricity prices for industry<\/p>\n
\nrigorous digitization through digital ID and efficient networks<\/p>\n
\nBertelsmann Stiftung executive board chairman Hannes Ametsreiter: \u00abA strong and sustainable market economy forms the foundation stone of democracy. When we enhance the economy and prosperity, we ensure social cohesion. We do not intend to allow the future simply to happen; we will shape it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe population\u2019s confidence in politics and democracy must be strengthened once more. For this, greater participation in society and bold reforms are needed. Our experts thus propose the following to make democracy crisis-resistant and innovative:<\/p>\n
\nstronger and more consistent participation by the population outside election time as well<\/p>\n
\ngreater involvement of the younger generation and associated suffrage reform<\/p>\n
\nenhanced protection of democratic institutions<\/p>\n
\na more courageous pan-European debate on future challenges, along with measures against disinformation<\/p>\n
\nDaniela Schwarzer, member of the board: \u201cDuring times when our democracy is put under pressure from outside and is challenged from within by polarization and diminishing trust, our response has to be clear: we will boost the resilience of our democracy. This includes securing space for democratic discourse that promotes European tech sovereignty, protection against deliberately targeted disinformation, and fresh opportunities for our citizens to contribute politically and assist in shaping policies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nA resilient democracy needs sovereign infrastructure directed towards the common good. This can only occur within a European context. The following proposals can be found in the EuroStack project co-initiated by the Foundation:<\/p>\n
\ndata are treated as a resource for opening up innovation and as a tool for the common good<\/p>\n
\nthere is assurance that critical digital infrastructure in Europe is secured by European legislation<\/p>\n
\nEuropean efforts in innovative sectors are boosted, so that Europe\u2019s competitiveness is enhanced<\/p>\n
\nBrigitte Mohn, member of the board: \u201cWe need a digitally sovereign Europe for Europe\u2019s future development, with reduced technological dependencies and digitization that incorporates as its foundation the principles of the rule of law, sustainability, tolerance and diversity, as well as the common good.\u201d<\/p>\n
