The European Commission has published Germany’s Digital Decade 2026 country report as part of the State of the Digital Decade 2026 package, alongside a corrigendum correcting figures in the wider communication.
- The report says Germany has strong positions in semiconductors, quantum technology, and other high-tech sectors, but persistent gaps remain in connectivity and digital public services; it also sets out recommendations on digital public services, fibre rollout, AI uptake, ICT specialists, quantum technologies, and cybersecurity.
- The document cites funding and performance figures, including EUR 12.8 billion for digital under Germany’s recovery and resilience plan, EUR 2.4 billion under cohesion policy for digital transformation, and EUR 15.33 billion in public budget tied to roadmap measures; it is a Commission report rather than a first-person corporate announcement.
