Germany implemented something similar like this after China took over Kuka (industry leading robotics) and practically build an entire industry of robotics in China after that.
And of course, the jobs disappeared from Germany.
- q3k 1y agoDid they? As far as I know Kuka is still fully controlled by Midea.
- NicoJuicy 1y agoThe regulation was created after that
- em-bee 1y agothe jobs didn't disappear (yet). they grew from 13.000 in 2014 before midea took over to 15.000 in 2024. maybe they could have grown more in germany if midea hadn't taken over. who knows.
- NicoJuicy 1y agoThere are only about 3200 jobs in Augsburg (Germany), it's HQ? https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/KUKA-AG-436260/news/Robot-supplier-Kuka-plans-to-cut-400-jobs-49129198/ https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/KUKA-AG-436260/ne... Note: Looking for more information about the distribution of jobs atm ( countries). But it's hard to find. Any resources? But you're right. They still have jobs there, I didn't knew that. Note: This is about the law Germany created afterwards: https://www.akingump.com/en/insights/alerts/germany-tightens-rules-on-foreign-direct-investment https://www.akingump.com/en/insights/alerts/germany-tightens...
- em-bee 1y agowell, the real question is, are those 15.000 employees in germany? and were they in germany before? i just found the number on wikipedia, but now i looked up the 2024 report that says that 4600 are in germany, and 10600 are outside. in the 2014 report it says 4700 are in germany, 4500 rest of europe, 1700 north america, and 1100 elsewhere. so it doesn't look like any jobs were moved.
