The courage to change is worth it!

We work in a world of lightning-speed political, economic and technical changes. People’s desire for work, wealth, quality of life and safety, the finiteness of many resources and the challenges of globalisation all require new answers.

The electrical engineering and electronics industry contribute to the fact that necessary changes lead to new opportunities for the people of Germany, Europe and the world and their environment. We are the most innovative sector in Germany and frontrunners in Europe. Our companies are the pacemakers of technological advance.  The innovation and growth of nearly every sector is determined by the key technologies developed by our industries. Our products, systems and solutions provide a basis for everyone’s quality of life.In order to be able to guarantee this contribution to growth, employment and wealth with international competition in Germany and throughout the world in the future as well, our companies need framework conditions, that sustainably develop the ability to innovate, grow and be competitive in Germany by themselves.

That is why, together with all sectors united under the ZVEI umbrella, we have determined seven main themes, that will give common strength and direction to the technical work and the political communication of ZVEI, its sector associations, regional desks and working committees. The perspectives shown in the vision for the ZVEI are thus made concrete and converted into specific areas of development for the electronical engineering and electronics industry.

“Strengthening the ability to innovate, grow and be competitive” is not only a requirement for politics but also for us: With “the courage to change” we want to lead the way in the shape of concrete initiatives and by setting a good example. Let’s use and give shape to change – and thus our common future!
