The background
Europe's innovation gap
Europe has strengths in research, yet much of the knowledge its researchers generate remains commercially unused. The Draghi report on the future of European competitiveness (2024) identifies the path from innovation to commercialisation as a weak point — and calls closing the innovation gap Europe's most important task. The DeepTech Atlas makes visible where the challenges lie, and where the potential is.
The focus
Germany in detail
The atlas looks at Germany first. Region by region, it brings together information on research, development and commercialisation. Every figure shows where it comes from.
Phase 1
Research
It begins with publication. Papers and researchers show where knowledge emerges.
Phase 2
Development
Knowledge turns into claim. Patents show where research becomes protectable technology.
Phase 3
Commercialisation
At the end there is a company — or there is not. This is where the chain breaks most often.
What is measured
And what is not
Publications, researchers and patents are measured figures. Startups and funding are invented placeholders and are marked as such wherever they appear. Regions without data stay grey — an honest gap rather than a plausible estimate.
