> A two-day “Invest in Germany Summit” is due to open Monday evening in Berlin as the government seeks private funding to bolster public-sector spending. Chancellor Friedrich Merz will open the event, expected to draw about 200 representatives of major German and international companies. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is among the guests. The German Economic Institute cautions that labor, energy and bureaucracy costs remain barriers to investment.
