Optimism is a strategic choice for our future. Precisely because our industrial sector is in the throes of a deep crisis, we must believe in our potential. 2026 must be the year of change – a year of new beginnings and decisive reforms for growth and competitiveness – because our economic strength is our best guarantee of security. It is the foundation of our sovereignty.

Under the motto ‘Strength. Security. Future – made by Europe’, 1,800 guests gathered at the TDI 2026.

The debate on the future of Germany and Europe continues. The next TDI – Industry Day – will take place on 14 and 15 June 2027.
