Germany's industrial woes have increasingly become a hot topic of discussion. The latest Engineer Monitor report from professional association Verein Deutscher Ingenieure and the German Economic Institute offers a new look at the issue.
The report showed that there were 58,392 unemployed individuals in the engineering and information technology (IT) professions in the fourth quarter of 2025, the highest level since the survey began in 2011.
Compared with the previous year, the number of unemployed increased by 16.7 percent, according to German media reports on Sunday.
These figures lay bare the challenges confronting the country's manufacturing sector. The reasons for the industrial woes are multiple. The soaring energy costs caused by geopolitical conflicts, the decline in exports caused by rising protectionism and low external demand, and the structural pain caused by industrial chain restructuring are all squeezing the space of German manufacturing.
Manufacturing is the backbone of Germany's economy, and engineers and IT specialists constitute the core force that sustains this pillar. For decades, the country's reputation for "Made in Germany" excellence was built on the expertise of these skilled professionals. Regardless of the macroeconomic ups and downs, preserving the stability and continuity of its industrial talent pool represents a strategic bottom line for Germany.
Should large numbers of highly skilled technical professionals leave the industry or sit idle, industrial research and development (R&D) and production cycles will be disrupted. Over the longer term, such a waste of human capital will erode Germany's industrial innovation capacity and, ultimately, undermine the foundations of its global competitiveness.
In this context, the urgent task for Germany is to create sufficient quality positions for its technical talent. Should it fail to do so in the short term, then Germany needs to embrace a more open‑minded development approach. Shoring up its manufacturing base cannot be achieved solely through protecting domestic companies; it also requires a significant expansion of effective investment to create enough high‑quality jobs that can attract and retain skilled talent.
This is exactly where China‑Germany cooperation could deliver tangible results. According to the FDI Report 2025 published by Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), the total number of foreign investment projects in Germany fell 9.3 percent overall to 1,564 in 2025. Nonetheless, Chinese companies became the largest source of foreign investment projects in Germany in 2025, overtaking the US for the first time since 2017.
Chinese companies launched 228 investment projects in Germany in 2025, up 14.6 percent year-on-year. More than one in five Chinese investment projects involved production and R&D activities, above the overall average for foreign investment projects in Germany. This is a sign that Chinese firms are deepening their integration into the local industrial base, according to GTAI.
Observers noted the trend, pointing out that China is becoming an important force in driving German re‑industrialization. In industries where Germany urgently needs to rebuild its competitive edge, such as electric vehicles, batteries, energy technology, digital manufacturing, and automation, China is emerging as an increasingly significant complementary partner. In these critical areas that will determine industrial competitiveness in the coming decades, the relationship between China and Germany is not merely one of rivalry; there are clear and substantial complementarities. Germany still boasts world‑leading engineering expertise, precision manufacturing capabilities, and a strategic location at the heart of the European market.
China has complete and highly integrated supply chains for raw materials and intermediate goods and large capacity for increasing production. When Chinese automakers set up R&D centers in Germany, or when Chinese tech firms collaborate with German factories to build smart production lines, the beneficiaries are not only the Chinese companies but also the German engineers who would otherwise face redundancy.
Cross‑border investment cannot flourish without a sound policy environment. Chinese companies are apparently willing to develop in Germany, but it can only happen on the premise that the German side provides a fair, reasonable and predictable business environment, reduces non-market interference in commercial activities, and allows capital to operate in accordance with market rules.
If the two countries are able to reach a deeper level of cooperation in investment, many of Germany's trade‑related concerns may well find more pragmatic solutions. The deep integration of industrial value chains would facilitate two‑way trade, creating renewed momentum for German exports of machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and other competitive products to China.
。 近日,记者从市建委获悉,2026年度杭州市十大低碳应用场景评选结果公布,上城区数字能源港低碳园区示范场景、钱塘区焱唐超级工厂动态显色发电建筑立面示范场景两个建筑领域场景成功入选。数字能源港坐落于上城区钱塘智慧城城北园区,占地0.61平方公里,曾是“空间紧、负荷密、用能杂”的典型老旧工业园区。

B | 如今,项目集成园区内外200余项先进技术,从制能、储能、用能、节能四个维度完成全链路系统性低碳改造,成为都市老工业园区绿色低碳转型的标杆。数字能源港制定了“整体规划、分类施策、技术精准匹配”的系统方案。办公楼侧重“超量绿电生产+五恒环境调控+光储直柔”技术组合,让楼宇自己“晒太阳发电”,同时为室内提供舒适恒温环境;厂房配套光伏储能、应急供电、货运车辆电动化,以稳定用电保障生产运转;公共区域采用绿电直接供电、多功能空间布局、智能AI照明,既节能又实用。园区还搭建起自主研发的智慧能源大脑平台,依托专业算法,光伏发电与用电负荷预测准确率均超90%;结合实时气象监测,系统可提前启动空调预调,自动调节园区室内温度;还能调节充电桩错峰充电,把光伏产生的绿色电力直接供给周边建筑使用。经系统性改造,数字能源大厦实现负碳运行,获国家零碳建筑认证,数字能源孵化器及风雨长廊获国家近零碳建筑认证。焱唐能源科技工厂立面BIPV项目位于钱塘区临江高科产业园,将龙焱能源科技自主研发的光伏产品铺设于厂房南、西立面,立面安装总面积达4234平方米,总装机容量542千瓦;项目同时采用自主研发的碲化镉薄膜彩色技术,相较传统彩釉工艺,透光率提升超100%,组件光电转换效率达13%以上。

C | 这套光伏幕墙不仅是高效的发电单元,更是高性能的保温隔热层。实测数据显示,相较原有金属幕墙,应用“燚彩”光伏幕墙后,厂房外墙热渗透率降低37%,室内温度下降4℃—6℃,大幅削减了夏季空调的用电负荷。

D | 据测算,该项目在25年生命周期内,预计累计减排二氧化碳7962吨、二氧化硫240吨、氮化物120吨。
