On August 15, 2023, the CEO of the German start-up association, Miele, expressed his wish for increased political attention and improved framework conditions for the local start-up scene. The German government, he said, should give the industry more priority, particularly to promote innovative strength and future orientation. Compared to countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and France, Germany is still at a disadvantage when it comes to framework conditions for startups. Areas such as immigration of skilled workers, digitization and access to capital are better developed in other European countries.
The competition for talented professionals is particularly demanding, and German startups often lose out. The industry focuses on start-ups with innovative business ideas and great growth potential. These start-ups are characterized by young founders and employees who focus on a digital orientation from the outset. Overall, the association is calling for better support from the political side to strengthen Germany's position in the European startup competition.
