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.
