PRESS STATEMENT “The auto summit is sending a positive signal”

Jörg Hofmann: “Yesterday’s auto summit sent a positive signal: The federal government has recognized the difficult situation in the supplier industry and is trying to find solutions. Our proposal to establish transformation funds to strengthen the equity capital of small and medium-sized suppliers is now being considered. This would be a significant contribution to a successful transformation, as it would enable companies to invest in innovation and thereby secure jobs for the future. Our proposal to establish regional transformation clusters is also being considered. The aim is to pursue active regional structural policy in regions that are currently heavily dependent on the internal combustion engine due to the large number of supplier companies located there. This, too, could make a significant contribution to the ecological and social transformation of Germany’s leading industry.”
