| description | Abstract The Coronavirus crisis clearly exposed Germany’s deficits in the digitalisation of the economy and society. The cooperation between established SMEs and innovative start-ups offers considerable opportunities for the respective companies and the German economy.

This could lead to an increase in the demographically induced declining growth potential of the German economy. |
