Innovation Indicator 2011
Germany in Contact with the Leading Group
The latest edition of the Innovation Indicator for Germany was published two years ago in 2009. Since then, the world economic structure has changed significantly. The world economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 has left its mark, just like the rapid development of emerging countries like China, in particular. These changes in the economic realities are also reflected in the innovation potential of the economies. In this respect, the altered ranking in the Innovation Indicator 2011 is primarily due to updating the data stocks. The fundamental methodological revision in the course of the re-organization and reduction of the number of indicators applied plays a subordinate role, on the other hand.
