ZEW Monthly // 2026

06/2026 – Shaping Digitalisation

The digital transformation is fundamentally changing business and government. It creates new opportunities for innovation and productivity, while also requiring reliable investment, clear rules and effective security.

The new issue of ZEW Monthly, entitled “Shaping Digitalisation”, examines how digital capital strengthens business productivity, how companies use generative AI and what consequences cyberattacks have. We also look at how the German federal government finances its digital expenditure and how companies assess the requirements of the NIS2 Directive.
