Christian Allner, CEO of Anhalt Intelligence, comments:
“Fame alone doesn’t fill coffers or create jobs. High rankings are a nice pat on the back, but they mask the real crisis: The German economy is falling behind in the digital transformation because it prefers to place itself in a position of dependence on non-European monopolists rather than relying on domestic innovations that comply with data protection regulations. Those who fail to act today will fall behind tomorrow.”
