Germany’s digital economy is on course for growth,” Bitkom said. After increasing by 2 percent in 2023, the information and communication technology (ICT) sector is expected to grow three to four times faster than the economy as a whole.
Most companies in the sector are crisis-proof, said Bitkom President Ralf Wintergerst. Even under difficult economic conditions, characterized by geopolitical crises and budget cuts, sales and employment are increasing. Growth in jobs could be significantly higher, although the shortage of skilled workers is proving to be a stumbling block.
