Germany is often hailed as the economic powerhouse of Europe, but 25 years after reunification, cracks are starting to show. This session will explore whether Germany is still a model for other nations or if the country is facing deeper economic and social challenges. We’ll dive into the consequences of reunification, how East and West Germany have integrated (or failed to), and what lies ahead for the nation. Expect an analysis of how Germany can continue to lead in Europe—or if it needs a new approach to stay competitive.
