- Title
Turning point(s) ("Zeitenwende") and new multipolarity: Is the industry in Germany declining into insignificance?
- Authors
Vormann, Jürgen
- Abstract
The following text summarizes a speech held, at Frankfurt Industry Evening, Chamber of Industry and Commerce Frankfurt am Main/Germany on December 13, 2022. The author acted as CEO at Infraserv GmbH & Co. Höchst KG for 18 years. Infraserv Höchst is the operator of the industrial park at Frankfurt-Höchst, a vibrant R&D and production site for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. At the same time, Jürgen Vormann was responsible for a variety of regional and national organizations and has been outlining the interest of the manufacturing industry towards regional, national and international policymakers. In his final official speech as CEO, Jürgen Vormann underlined the importance of constructive cooperation and mutual support between industry, politics, and society and pledged for a wellbalanced policy mix which at the same time has to aim for economic, social and environmental targets to secure a strong industry in Germany and Europe. He fears that current climate change-related arguments would prevail in the public discourse and that this orientation might endanger the industrial base in Germany.
