Innovation Policy

The innovative power of the German industrial location constitutes the basis for welfare and job creation, but also for the solution of pressing social challenges. Therefore, great importance is being attached to innovation policy on the Federal Government level and in the individual Federal states, too. VDI/VDE-IT assists the public authorities in this area on various levels.
