Bavaria's economic policy in focus - challenges and opportunities for companies

According to a report by www.br.de, companies in Bavaria have used the current state election campaign as an opportunity to point out three problematic areas: a shortage of skilled workers, high energy prices and digitalization. The companies surveyed emphasize the importance of Bavaria as a business location and comment on the challenges they pose to politicians.

The challenge of the energy transition
The industrial companies surveyed expressed concerns about high energy prices. The Munich aircraft engine manufacturer MTU Aero Engines makes ensuring a reliably available and affordable green energy supply an urgent political task. Infineon describes the high energy costs as a major problem. The automotive industry is calling for a faster expansion of the charging infrastructure for e-mobility and an increase in the proportion of renewable energies in the electricity mix.

The challenge of a shortage of skilled workers
Almost all companies describe the competition for well-trained skilled workers as difficult. It is important that Bavaria remains attractive for skilled workers. Companies such as Hensoldt and Siemens Healthineers emphasize the attractiveness of Bavaria as a location for attracting skilled workers.

The challenges mentioned show that politicians are required to take measures to strengthen Bavaria as a business location. The implementation of funding programs, investments in renewable energies and the creation of attractive framework conditions for skilled workers could have a positive impact on the business location and the financial sector. In particular, companies that operate in the sectors mentioned could benefit from such measures and contribute to positive economic growth in Bavaria in the long term.
