GLOBAL RESOURCES FOR A DIGITAL FUTURE

Urgently needed: Digital resources

The Covid crisis  has sharpened the challenge: Germany is missing thousands of skilled IT workforce. “Industrie 4.0” as the synonym for data based manufacturing business has changed  the way how R&D, HR departments of German corporations are tackling the bottleneck for future growth in order to maintain their position in the global industrial competition.

• As the recruitment of professionals hit national limits, though,  even the German “Mittelstand” began international recruiting. For its industrial development and sites worldwide  Germany’s champions in production “silently” started cooperation with international service providers and freelancers.
• To register companies  for the purpose of  recruiting and building capacities in countries where resources are available – this strategy is not anymore a privilege of large multinational corporations  
• There are many convincing arguments for investing in international capacities: The availability and scalability of resources, the proven quality and skills of international providers and freelancers and sometimes still definitely the cost advantages – in comparison to “migrate” this valuable resources to Germany.
• An additional argument: For internationally active enterprises  there is an increasing a political and legal obligation to internationalize data business in order follow national data policies.
• And finally the start-up ecosystems: The brightest minds in many countries did not just wait for orders and job offers from Germany, but started own businesses which are relevant for the manufacturing sector – and they are serving international customers already. The smartest national, regional and sector agencies for economic promotion are connecting their ecosystems proactively to international markets.
