HERE+NOW. Impulse Magazine // Future Technologies 2020
The German economy is undergoing a period of upheaval. The automotive industry is investing billions in developing new powertrain technologies and mobility services, while manufacturing industries and mechanical engineering are becoming greener and more sustainable. Following the phase-out of nuclear power, by 2038 brown coal will no longer be used for electricity generation and priority is being given to developing renewable energy sources. And importantly, digitalization is making its way into almost all areas of our lives. And as if all of this weren’t exciting enough, 2020 will go down in history as the year of the coronavirus pandemic. The virus is not only putting businesses and jobs at risk, it is also speeding up some development processes.
