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. In addition to their own input, the experts in the 'Lessons Learned' project will also be presented with the plans that the cabinet is currently developing, as reported by NOS.
