Where DeepTech happens in Germany
DeepTech does not emerge at a single point but along a chain — research, development, commercialisation. This atlas shows where in Germany that chain holds, and where it breaks.
Keyword matching, not a language model — it knows a fixed list of terms. Whatever it does not recognise is listed below instead of being quietly dropped.

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.
