Newsletter Shift: Wie Deutschland wieder ein Zukunftsland werden kann
Was braucht Deutschland, um bei den Zukunftstechnologien wieder Anschluss zu finden? Handelsblatt-Chefredakteur Sebastian Matthes sucht Antworten in seinem neuen Buch „Inside 2029“.
Düsseldorf – For weeks, I have been communicating with my health insurance company through an app and by email. This means I am trying my best to stay ahead of the game. However, the replies I receive are days, sometimes even weeks later – by mail. My digital efforts are turning into an analog process, and the solution to a small issue is taking unnecessary time.
Why does digitalization seem to end just before my health insurance company's door? In such moments, I wonder about the location of the problem. After all, this example is representative of many processes in German authorities and large corporations. The strength of our economy depends not only on having good ideas or producing modern technologies, but also on whether the technology works in everyday life.
I will explore how to achieve this in this excellent newsletter: I am Erik Acker, and from now on, I am one of four Shift authors. Our editor-in-chief, Sebastian Matthes, asked himself a similar question: How can Germany become economically world-class again? He has found answers that he shares in his new book, "Inside 2029: How Germany's Economy Will Regain Its World-Class Status – A Report from the Future."
