The small columns under the bars show how many points sit on each of the five steps.

Cut red tape and repeal Berlin's procurement law

The AfD wants to cut regulations systematically and repeal Berlin's own public procurement law. Founders and investors would get a single digital point of contact. In the party's view, the administration should focus more on residents and businesses.

The AfD wants fewer rules for businesses. Berlin has its own law for public contracts. The AfD wants to remove this law. People who start a company should get one office for all questions.

A special committee on cutting bureaucracy would develop and oversee a method for removing rules. The administration itself would be asked to flag laws and ordinances it considers dispensable. Berlin's state procurement law would be dropped. The agency "Partner für Berlin" would become a digital service provider for startups and investors, offering mentoring and one-stop support. The platform also opposes what it calls Green clientele politics in district offices and planning authorities.

„Der Berliner Sonderweg eines eigenen Vergabegesetzes ist aufzugeben.“

Translation: Berlin's special path of having its own procurement law is to be abandoned.

Placement

  • Economyclearly more market

    A state law that imposes obligations on companies in public contracting would be dropped entirely, which means markedly less regulation.

Make Berlin an industrial and high-tech hub

The AfD wants to attract high-tech companies to Berlin in a targeted way. Commercial land would be listed in a public register and made available to businesses as a priority. A central site for startups would be created, modeled on one in Paris.

The AfD wants more industry in Berlin. Above all, tech companies should come. A public list should show free land for businesses. Young companies should get one central place.

Support would go to companies in aerospace, the health industry, semiconductors, AI, robotics, 3D printing, quantum computing and IT security. A public register of commercial land and active location marketing are meant to ease investment, with commercial use given priority while the "Berlin mix" of housing and work is kept. University spin-offs would become easier, and universities would work more closely with business. The platform names Station F in Paris as the model for the startup site.

„Berlin muss wieder industrieller Kernstandort werden.“
