Could electricity — not chips or talent — be Germany's real AI bottleneck? In this episode, Jörn “Joe” Menninger covers the GreenTech Monitor 2026, the AI-energy nexus, and why data centers are now central to industrial competitiveness.
Why this episode matters: If power constrains AI, then energy policy becomes industrial policy. This episode connects Germany's GreenTech data to the AI buildout and the cluster geography that will decide who wins.
In this episode, we cover:
The GreenTech Monitor 2026's full data set
