Wie kann Deutschland innovativer werden?

Germany is one of the world's leading research locations – and yet it often fails to turn good ideas into successful innovations. In international comparison, we lag behind the USA and China, especially when it comes to rapidly bringing new technologies into practical application. In this episode of Tonspur Wissen, Ursula Weidenfeld speaks with Prof. Dr. Irene Bertschek. She is the head of the German Federal Government's Expert Commission on Research and Innovation, Professor of the Economics of Digitalization at Justus Liebig University Giessen, and Head of Research at the Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in Mannheim. Together, they analyze where Germany stands in the innovation race and why, despite favorable conditions, implementation often falters.
