With the aim of strengthening and expanding the role and participation of German experts in European and international standardization activity, the German Strategy Forum for Standardization has been established at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). The forum’s members are 42 prominent persons in business, government, research and wider society, who are appointed for terms of two years. They include representatives of the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) and KAN.

Under the leadership of Parliamentary State Secretary Dr Franziska Brantner, the forum is to identify standardization topics and projects of strategic importance for the German economy and its competitiveness in areas relevant to the future, and to contribute to strong participation by German experts in European and international standards bodies. In addition, the Strategy Forum reflects the activities of the European "High Level Forum on Standardization" and advises the BMWK on standardization issues.
