Digital Innovation in Germany

How to become a leader in technology?

Topic: Digital innovation in Germany.

Give me:

1) A short summary

In ~3 sentences, summarize the entire problem landscape. Focus on the socio-technical, institutional, and political-economy bottlenecks, not on generic “digitization is hard” filler.

The summary must be sharp, concrete, and falsifiable.

⸻

2) A 5 point plan

Produce a 5 point plan that actually moves the Overton window and that is actually tractable in the next 24 months.

Avoid cosmetic “startup scene vibes.”
I want things that move state capacity, legal/institutional agility, deep industrial base leverage, real infra, real adoption, real power.

If you cannot specify the concrete lever (e.g. which law, which ministry, what exact procurement rule to remove), do not include the point.

⸻

3) The single most important thing to tackle first

I want one single concrete intervention — not a cluster — that is the true bottleneck removal.

Name exactly what should be done, who would do it, what the mechanism of impact is.

⸻

Format the entire answer such that I can “drop-in replace” the topic (in this case: “digital innovation in Germany”) without touching the underlying prompt structure.

Be maximally specific.
Be non-deferential.
Give me things that can actually flip a national trajectory.
