Germany's position in global innovation
Germany is facing a significant decline in its capacity for innovation and technological advancement, with its share of global patents dropping from 21.9% in 2000 to 15% in 2022. This reflects a decline in research and development performance, weak progress in high-tech industries—particularly in artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and electric vehicle manufacturing. The decline is due to inadequate investment, bureaucratic hurdles, a shortage of skilled labor, and infrastructure weaknesses, all of which have led to capital flowing out toward foreign investments. To restore Germany's position as a hub of technological innovation, it is proposed to boost investments, reduce bureaucratic procedures, improve infrastructure, and facilitate access for specialized workers from outside the European Union.
