2014 promises an economic upswing for the German micro- and nanotechnology industry

Orders, production and sales figures are expected to rise noticeably in 2014 in the German micro- and nanotechnology industry. Areas excluded from an optimistic outlook are staff and financing: just a quarter of companies intend to hire more staff. Only one tenth of companies expect increases in the field of financing. Nevertheless, 30 percent of companies are planning to make investments, which is a higher proportion than in previous years.
