New: Category “Economy” – because framework conditions matter

Global economy / World economy / Regional economy / Single market

After many years in which our content focus was clearly on the topics of mechanical engineering, industry, renewable energies, and logistics and intralogistics, we have expanded our range of topics to include a crucial area: the economy.

This new category is not a coincidence. Rather, it is our response to current political and economic developments worldwide, which are having an ever-increasing impact on markets, technologies, and value chains. National and international frameworks, geopolitical tensions, and economic policy decisions – all of these are increasingly having a direct effect on the industries we have always covered.

With the introduction of the "Economy" section, we are creating space for analyses, background information and classifications that are necessary to understand technological innovations and industrial developments in a broader context.

▶️ Mercosur tragedy: "This Europe is a complete disaster – led by questionably scheming elements"
Europe's leadership crisis is revealed in the failure of the Mercosur agreement, which exposes the EU's systemic inability to act. | The delay of the deal after 25 years of negotiations torpedoes enormous economic opportunities and jeopardizes hundreds of thousands of jobs in Europe. | A bizarre alliance in the European Parliament shows how ideology is replacing geopolitical and economic reason. | | While Europe struggles with itself, China is exploiting the power vacuum and massively expanding its strategic presence in South America. | At the same time, the extreme dependence on US tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon is fundamentally undermining Europe's digital sovereignty. | Laws like the US Cloud Act pose a direct threat to the protection of European data and effectively nullify the GDPR. | | Political reactions to this digital impotence appear helpless, while the lobbying power of the tech giants prevents effective countermeasures. | A massive investment gap compared to the US and China is dramatically weakening European competitiveness in key industries.
