"Energy costs versus competitiveness in the industrial locations of Germany and Austria"
The economic situation in Germany and Austria remains tense at the beginning of 2026, but is showing the first signs of a slow recovery after a prolonged period of weakness. The two countries are closely intertwined economically and want to strengthen the competitiveness of their locations. High energy costs are considered an obstacle on the way there. So what is to be done?
