A German production SME consortium has mobilized to see to boost the Nation’s policy formulators to make a correction of the primary course. The Zukunft Wirtschaft Deutschland E. V. (The initiative for the future economy of Germany), formed in 2023 and is directed through Andrea Thoma-Böck, its founder and president. Lizw is a non -partisan national base that asks innovations to the economic policies of the Council, with a specific concentrate in the wishes of small and medium -sized businesses and the business circle of relatives.

Thoma-Böck is managing partner at Thoma Metallveredelung GmbH, which employs about 130 people in Heimertingen, putting her on the front lines of the SME challenges. The company specializes in galvanic metal coatings and is a pioneer in environmentally friendly galvanizing technology.

SMEs as its shape of the backbone of the trade base of Germany. While Michael von Liechtenstein, founder and president of Geopolitical Intelligence Services AG, recently said in his own interview with Thoma-Böck for the European Foundation of the European Center of the Economy, “Intermediary Corporations in Germany, grant a more than 60% contribution of higher price and supplies 55% of jobs, which makes them an important motor force of innovation and productivity. ” More generalized, is to put those corporations under expansion.

Deindustrialization in Germany, which I pointed out a year ago, even reaches the biggest players and is rushing as the economy continues to struggle. It is now contracting in 2025 for the third consecutive year. These difficulties have contributed to the ruling coalition’s recent cave, with new elections set for next month. The industry’s decline has been highlighted in recent months by the reduction of 11,000 tasks through the larger Aciérique Thyssenkrupp and by Volkswagen’s announcement of 35,000 task cuts in 2030 amid an investigation into “alternative options” for its factories in Dresden and Osnabrück.

For Thoma-Böck, that’s enough. The existing economic crisis has moved from the German industry to almost every domain of life in Germany, “he told me by email. ” The lack of professional workers, the upper bureaucracy and the micrognition of the German and European regulatory government that are suffocating corporations. Normal business activity is no longer possible. “

One of its greatest frustrations is the obvious disability of the country’s leaders to the correct friendly costs after years of mediocre economic results. “Political convictions are placed above the facts and above the genuine,” he explained. “The genuine consequences of political decisions are in large part ignored and, as far as possible, only the knowledge that can still meet one’s expectations can still be taken into account. “

She thinks that one of the main participants in the challenge is the lack of real global crime among the country’s ruling class. “Almost none of the top politicians and ministers have ever worked in a personal company under market conditions,” he said. “Some don’t even have vocational training. He now highlights that for years, political positions were filled almost exclusively through party members, regardless of their professional qualifications. How can it be that a minister of the economy has almost no economic delight or knowledge?Or that a Foreign Minister has no diplomatic context?The consequences are obvious and plunged Germany into a deep structural crisis. »»

Another difficulty is the complication of the two teachers in the country, the national and the EU who contribute to the problems.

Andrea Thoma-Böck, founder and president of Zukunft Wirtschaft Deutschland E. V.

“European law takes precedence over national law,” said Thoma-Böck. “Legislative initiatives at the European level are usually launched by the Commission. For example, the Green Deal, which was unilaterally announced by the President of the European Commission, is a playground for ideology-based positions which could not be upheld if contrasted with reality… But, of course, there are also wrongdoings of purely German origin. The energy transition is the best example of where all neighbouring countries, Europe and the world as a whole only smile at us with pity or are now even openly opposed to us.”

When it comes to feasible and practical solutions, Thoma-Böck Acwisdoms that the list is long. “It can be said,” he proposed. The makeshift in combination of symptoms and the escape of unrelated battlefields will have to urgently give way to a sustainable policy based on skills, wisdom and facts. But the option of implementing technical inventions in all grades will also have the availability of professional workers. This in turn is based on demography. At the same time, its higher education leads to scarcity in other areas. However, there are basic facets in which anything wants to replace so that the scenario can improve. “

Your priority list of the following points:

Thoma-Böck is still firm that the replacement will have to arrive despite each one. “The economy is not a purpose in itself, but without a correct economic base, nothing can be achieved at all,” he said. The same and further back and waiting for new effects is every time the definition of madness. Change demands the voices of entrepreneurs, who have been too silent for too long. The lack of courage to show limits is partly guilty for this situation. Therefore, a lesson of this is informed.
