Could Germany benefit from drastic Javier Milei-style reforms?
One business owner in Berlin thinks so, and many others want a reduction in the amount of bureaucracy bosses are responsible for.
As a federal election takes place in Germany, members of the Mittelstand, Germany’s famous small and medium-sized businesses known as the “backbone” of the country's economy, tell Business Daily what a new government could do for them.
Theo Leggett travels to a science and research park on the outskirts of Berlin where the boss of an underwater robot company and other tech businesses are based. There's a lot of innovation happening in the buildings, but confidence in politics is low.
And Anouk Millet looks at the Hamburg businesses trying to modernise and forge a path towards an uncertain future.
