VDI Study: Germany remains a top center of technology

Germany will remain a wordwide leading center for technology and innovation in the future. A prerequisite, however, is that future political decisions are based on technical solutions. Among the sectors where German industry leads is e.g. renewable energy.

This sector will invest over 200 billion Euros in Germany until 2020. "The VDI promotes an energy policy which consideres safety in supply and economy appropriately. Required investments will make energy more expensive in the long run. Therefore, engineers must work intensively on systems which reduce energy consumption", VDI President Prof. Bruno O. Braun emphasized.

The study entitled "Technology Center 2020" which was published on the occasion of the 25th German Engineer's Day by the VDI Verein Deutscher Ingenieure shows in which sectors Germany is worldwide leader. It will be published as Volume 91 of the ZTC series "Future Technologeis" and can be downloaded free of charge as a PDF or ordered as a complimentary printed copy.
