A coalition of 61 companies, including major German firms like Siemens, Deutsche Bank, BMW, Volkswagen, Allianz, and international players such as Nvidia, has pledged to invest 631 billion euros (around $733 billion) in Germany by 2028 as part of the “Made for Germany” initiative. This massive investment commitment targets capital expenditure, research and development, and infrastructure improvements to revitalize Germany’s economy, which has faced recession and stagnation for the past two years.

The initiative aligns with Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s government efforts to boost growth by reducing bureaucratic hurdles, accelerating digital transformation, and launching a 500 billion-euro infrastructure fund for the coming 12 years. While the total pledged includes previously planned investments, over 100 billion euros are expected to be new capital. Chancellor Merz emphasized that this signals renewed investor confidence and sends a strong message that “Germany is back,” positioning the country as a competitive business hub for the present and future.

The companies also called for faster approvals on infrastructure projects and addressed labor market challenges to maximize the impact of these investments. Experts regard the initiative as a significant step to stimulate Germany’s economy, though its sustainability and long-term effects depend on accompanying structural reforms.

The “Made for Germany” investment pledge of more than $700 billion is one of the largest private-sector commitments in decades aimed at restoring investor trust and economic vitality in Germany through 2028.
