K3D

Fashion Council Germany is co-initiator and founding member of the k3d alliance.

The coalition

In the wake of the pandemic, relevant industry players have now joined forces. This is in the belief that we can ensure the sector's visibility even beyond the pandemic and be its political contact. The alliance also sees itself as an alliance that makes the relevance of this sector of the economy clear to the public and communicates it to society. The heterogeneity of the NPPs is not an obstacle, but rather the challenge of agreeing on the broad lines, bringing them together and representing them together.

The k3d is based on the understanding of exchanging ideas with other market participants and thus reflecting the view of the industry players as a whole, depending on the situation. It does not have a fixed association structure and does not aspire to the position of an umbrella organization. Rather, common topics are communicated to the outside world together, with each association primarily representing the interests of its members and speaking for them.

Requirements

• Creation of an exposed responsibility for the NPP in the next federal government, which does not refer from one ministry to another, but pools and catalyzes forces and ensures coordination at the state and European level.

• Institutionalization of a regulated and permanent political exchange with the NPP about current challenges and the design of all framework conditions relevant to the economic sector. Organizing a high-level meeting with representatives of the federal government at least once a year.

• Inclusion of k3d in the necessary relaunch of the competence center for the cultural and creative industries as well as in concrete measures to strengthen the economic sector (e.g. Creative KIC Germany).

• Concrete funding for the revival of nuclear power plants after the corona crisis. These include the revitalization of city centers and plans to restart the cultural events business.

• In addition, a moratorium on charges is unavoidable. In principle, every legislative and regulatory proposal should be examined with regard to its impact on nuclear power plants.

• Participation in the design of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) measures (EU/federal government). The stakeholder dialogue announced in the German recovery plan (DARP) must also include k3d.

• Establishment of a fair digital marketplace at national and European level, so that a level playing field is created for the NPP industries - also in competition with the powerful global online platforms.
