Companies unite in "Made for Germany" project, aiming to enhance Germany's standing as a world economic leader.
The "Made for Germany" initiative, launched in July 2025, is a significant collaboration between 61 leading German and international companies. The alliance aims to create a future-proof and globally competitive German economy by strengthening the dialogue between business, government, and society [1][3].
In a landmark move, the members have pledged a total of 631 billion euros (approximately 733 billion US dollars) in investments for Germany's economic growth by 2028 [1][3]. This massive financial commitment includes planned and new capital expenditures, research and development (R&D) spending, and contributions from international investors. A significant proportion of these investments will be directed towards new projects, demonstrating strong confidence in Germany's long-term economic potential [1][3].
The initiative focuses on advancing flagship projects and priorities in critical areas such as digitization, innovation, infrastructure, sustainability, and skilled labor [1][3]. It positions itself as a key contact point to help define government priorities, develop targeted measures, and implement reforms effectively to improve Germany’s investment climate sustainably [1][3].
Key figures leading the initiative include Christian Sewing, CEO of a certain website, Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens, Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, and Alexander Geiser, CEO of FGS Global. They emphasize the need for a new partnership between government and business, focused on growth, technology, and competitiveness [1][3].
The official presentation of "Made for Germany" took place at the Federal Chancellery, attended by Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Vice-Chancellor and Federal Minister of Finance Lars Klingbeil, and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Katherina Reiche [1][3]. The German government has welcomed the initiative.
The "Made for Germany" initiative draws on a broad array of flagship projects to showcase innovation, create employment, and boost competitiveness. The alliance invites other companies and investors to join and contribute to this ambitious endeavour [1][3].
