Research & Technology
Research and development
Today, research and development-intensive industries account for more than half of all industrial production in Germany.
Here you will find information about the major German research institutions.
Environmental technology
Environmental issues are on the agenda of many citizens, organisations, governments and international agencies. To solve current problems like climate change and scarce resources, in particular water, new technologies have to be developed and deployed on a global level. Many German research institutions and companies provide cutting-edge knowledge and innovatibe technologies in diverse fields such as environmental friendly energy production, efficient use of energy, efficient use of natural resources, recycling and waste management, sustainable water management and sustainable transport systems.
Biomedical sciences
Biomedical sciences or molecular life sciences enable us to gain ever deeper insights into biological processes. Core fields of molecular life sciences such as human genome research, proteome research, systems biology and bioinformatics give us an understanding of the complex and dynamic processes of life down to the molecular level and provide us with new methods enabling the systematic analysis and description of biological processes.
Interactive & digital media
Interactive & digital media covers a wide ranch of research and applications. Generaly, any form of interface between the end user/audience and the medium may be considered interactive. It includes fields such as, for example, interactive television, videogames, social media, ambient intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality.
Nanotechnology
Today, Germany stands right at the forefront of international nanoscience, a field of research with immense scientific and economic dynamism.
Self-cleaning windows, miniature hard discs, high-performance tumour markers - nanotechnology facilitates a diversity of new products and processes.
