The cross-industry group, which includes 147 companies and investors, said its new report identified five areas in which global capital opportunities align with Germany's industrial strengths and reform efforts.
The sectors are AI, industrial transformation and next-generation technologies, resilient energy systems, core infrastructure, and security and defence.
Germany's high costs and regulatory burdens continue to weigh on growth, the initiative said. But it argued that initial reforms, combined with the country's political and legal stability, research base, skilled workforce, industrial depth and access to Europe's single market, could attract long-term capital.
