But it is not just the slow expansion of the network that is still holding back digitization in Germany, but also the lack of specialist skills among employees. A survey by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) has shown that many companies are neglecting to train and recruit specialist staff for reasons of time and cost. This means that the digital skills of the workforce, especially in medium-sized companies, are falling further behind the current state of development.



hurdles in funding programs
Numerous funding programs from the federal south africa gambling data government, states and the EU are intended to promote digitization. In reality, however, the sheer volume of funding programs is so confusing that many companies cannot find their way around. In addition, the regulations and requirements are too complicated and the application process involves an excessive amount of bureaucracy. Many companies fail to overcome these hurdles, so digitization in Germany will continue to progress only slowly.



The future belongs to fiber optics

Telekom wants every household and every company in Germany to have a fiber optic connection by 2030.
