FHI, Federation of Technology Industries – August 11, 2020
- Deutz, a machine builder listed on the German stock exchange, let know that it will cut thousands of jobs after a loss of 42.3 million euros in the second quarter. The company has been hit hard by the coronavirus.
- A shipload of almost 31.4 million face masks is arriving in Antwerp. With this, Belgium is doubling its strategic stock of surgical masks, writes De Tijd.
- The heat wave has seen more people working from home come to the office because air conditioning is available here, providing a cool place to work. That's what NOS says based on a tour of companies.
- At least fourteen German companies have applied to the German government for state aid. In exchange for a temporary state stake in the strategic companies, they hope to survive the corona crisis. Which companies exactly receive state aid is a state secret; this is only officially known about Lufthansa, writes the FD.
- About eighty experts from various specializations will discuss the future of the current corona policy via ten so-called expert tables, reports the NOS.
