F.A.Z. Institute "Germany's digital pioneers 2025"
It is not just since the pandemic that it has become clear how essential digitalization is for the economy. It now affects all sectors and extends far beyond traditional IT companies. Even small and medium-sized companies can hardly manage without an efficient digital infrastructure. However, the mere existence of digital infrastructures is not enough to be considered a "digital pioneer". A company must be perceived as innovative, a digital leader, economically successful and also an attractive employer. After all, digitalization requires qualified specialists - and these prefer employers who offer them good working conditions and development opportunities. Against this backdrop, the study "Germany's Digital Pioneers 2025" analyzes and evaluates the data from a social media monitoring study. The social media monitoring examines the topics of digitalization, innovation, profitability and employers.
