Germany’s New Business Strategy: Martin Blessing on Industry, Innovation and Growth

How can Germany remain an attractive destination for international business expansions? Martin Blessing, Chancellor Friedrich Merz’ point man on investments and foreign business expansions explains how the country is positioning itself in a changing global economy, and why Germany is still central for companies looking to scale up in Europe. Germany is adapting its investment strategy in response to global competition, technological change and shifting industrial dynamics. In this episode of Into Germany, we speak with Martin Blessing, former CEO of Commerzbank and, since late 2025, government commissioner and chairman of the supervisory board of Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI). He explains how the country aims to strengthen its position as a location for industry, innovation and sustainable growth. We explore what makes Germany attractive for today’s growth-hungry international companies – from its strong industrial base to emerging sectors such as AI and space technologies – and where structural challenges still need to be addressed. Our guest: Martin Blessing is a German banker and business executive. He served as CEO of Commerzbank from 2008 to 2016 and held senior roles at UBS and McKinsey. In late 2025, he was appointed commissioner and chairman of the supervisory board of Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), where he is responsible for the strategic oversight of Germany’s investment promotion efforts.

From Assistance to Action: The Rise of Agentic AI

Artificial intelligence has changed the way companies work, and now a new phase is emerging. Whereas earlier systems could only respond to prompts, Agentic AI is designed to handle entire workflows. For companies, the shift is profound, as it promises greater efficiency, faster decision-making and entirely new ways of structuring work. At the same time, it raises important questions around control, accountability and integration into existing business processes. Germany, with its strong industrial base and growing AI ecosystem, is positioning itself as a key player in this transformation. Companies and institutions across the country are exploring how agentic AI can be scaled responsibly and effectively. And there’s lots of room for international companies to enter the market. Our guests: Daniela Rittmeier is a supervisory board member, advisor and head of Capgemini’s Generative AI Accelerator, leading AI integration and scaling across industries and value chains. With over 20 years of experience driving transformation and innovation, she’s a thought leader in sustainable, anthropocentric AI and an advocate for women in technology and digital education. Des Traynor is co‑founder and chief strategy officer of the customer messaging and support platform Intercom, which has expanded to Germany. He has driven Intercom’s shift toward AI‑first product strategy and development, including the creation of AI agents such as Fin.

Aiming High – Germany Joins the New Space Race

Germany’s space sector is booming, as commercial players increasingly shape what was once a purely state-driven domain. From satellite manufacturing and Earth observation to reusable spacecraft and green propulsion systems, German-based companies are helping make space more accessible, sustainable and economically viable. Supported by strong public-private partnerships, generous funding schemes and a dense ecosystem of research institutions, Germany is on its way to become one of Europe’s key space hubs. Our guests: Anke Pagels-Kerp is Divisional Board Member for Space at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), where she oversees research and innovation at the interface of government, science and the emerging New Space economy. Martin Polak is Managing Director of Planet Labs Germany, responsible for the company’s operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and for expanding its satellite manufacturing and Earth observation activities in Germany. Victor Maier leads the German and Central European business at The Exploration Company, a Franco-German start-up developing reusable spacecraft to provide Europe with independent, sustainable access to space.
