Germany's federal cabinet continued its two-day retreat at Schloss Neuhardenberg on August 26, discussing industrial competitiveness, sovereignty and key technologies. The second day added sessions on conditions for skilled trades and startups, with presentations from business and investment representatives. An ordinary cabinet meeting afterward was scheduled to assess recent drought and draw conclusions for later sessions, where concrete decisions would follow. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany must curb climate change while adapting to its effects; the retreat announced no immediate climate-adaptation measures.
