Abstract
The history of industrialization is not one that progressed in a harmonic way internationally. The USA’s pursuit of European trailblazers quickly led to them assuming the top spot as an economic power. Yet just a few decades later, the next technological driver, the computer, brought with it the beginnings of a separation of global industry into hardware and software. US industry was capable of setting the tone for subsequent digitalization. Now, it looks as though, through digitalization, a new decision is on the horizon for the manufacturing and systems industry: Who will dominate the industrial data business? Will the Industrial Internet Consortium help? Now, the USA’s temporary vanquishing of positions in the hardware industry could prove to be a weakness. For that reason, too, a re-industrialization has been set into motion. But the long concentration on hardware in Germany could also backfire in contrast to a US industry that is gaining strength and leaning on its leading position in the digital realm.
