Digital Monitoring Report Germany – The ICT-based in the International Comparison 2009

Digital Monitoring Report Germany. Even in difficult global economic environment is the German information and communication industry (ICT) in comparison to other industries as relatively good. Even more than before the crisis raises the question of how the strengths of the ICT facility we use for the now upcoming choices and what weaknesses we have in comparison to competing locations to address urgently. The result of this analysis is important not only for the German ICT industry. We lay the foundation for the competitiveness of other sectors and provide impetus for growth markets. ICT as a technology, can be the “locomotive” for productivity and innovation of all other economic sectors.

According to expert opinion, the achievable through ICT productivity gains in Germany are not yet fully exploited. The “Monitoring Report Digital Germany”, the first report of a the three-year ICT benchmarks Germany the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, confirmation that the German ICT-based in comparison to the world’s leading ICT regions unfortunately only average performance. This is unsatisfactory. We will also design for the new term of an ICT strategy. Because we have to position Germany as an innovative location in the global competition and ensure to be in as large a number of promising growth areas present with advanced technology for the world leaders.
