German business publication Handelsblatt marked its 80th anniversary on May 15, 2026, with the release of a 96-page special edition titled "Blueprint for a New Economic Miracle". The publication analyzes the state of the German economy and outlines potential pathways for the country to regain technological and economic momentum.
Reporters from Handelsblatt traveled to innovation hubs such as Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, and Seoul to research future technologies for the issue's cover story. Based on these findings, Handelsblatt is presenting concrete proposals aimed at fostering a technology-driven economic resurgence in Germany.
"We have the technologies. We also have the economic policy tools. What is missing is the strategy to connect it all," the publication states, highlighting a perceived gap in strategic integration as crucial for Germany's economic future.
The anniversary edition is available for free download and will be distributed to 25,000 executives in politics and business. A cross-media campaign accompanies the anniversary, emphasizing the publication's role as a reliable source for economic journalism in an era of information overload and uncertainty.
Concurrently, Handelsblatt has updated its visual identity. Both the print edition and the e-paper now feature a new design, reinforcing the brand's positioning as a dependable guide in economic journalism amidst increasing global uncertainty and a flood of information.
