Bayern und Baden-Württemberg: Süddeutschlands Wirtschaftsmotor unter Druck

Southern Germany is one of Europe's strongest economic regions: Global corporations, export-oriented medium-sized companies, and more than a hundred hidden champions form an industrial network with an impact far beyond Germany's borders. But can Europe's industrial engine maintain its strength when the automotive industry, energy prices, and a shortage of skilled workers are all exerting pressure? Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are not only home to world-renowned corporations such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Audi, Siemens, Bosch, and SAP, but also to an exceptionally strong medium-sized business sector. Many specialized companies supply machinery, sensors, software, and precision parts, without which international production chains would hardly function. Baden-Württemberg, in particular, is closely linked to the automotive industry. However, the shift to electromobility, battery technology, and software-based vehicles presents manufacturers and suppliers with enormous challenges. Bavaria is more broadly diversified and also benefits from aerospace, finance, and technology companies. Crucial to the region's strength are high investments in research, numerous patents, and strong universities. At the same time, high energy prices, bureaucracy, a housing shortage, and a lack of skilled workers are hindering growth. Southern Germany is also of central importance to Austria. Bavaria is one of the most important export markets for Austrian companies, and both regions are closely linked through shared supply chains. The prerequisites for a successful future are in place: AI, hydrogen, quantum technology, green industry, and digital production could create new growth areas. The crucial factor will be whether the transformation succeeds quickly enough. What is currently hindering the economic development of the region the most: energy, bureaucracy, the shortage of skilled workers, or housing?
