Digital technologies have the potential to make a decisive contribution to the ecological sustainability transformation and thus to the achievement of Germany and Europe’s climate and environmental protection goals. In light of this, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK) has launched the “GreenTech Innovation Competition” funding programme. Together with further partners, we are responsible for the accompanying research.
Combining digital innovation and environmental progress
The aim of the BMWK's “GreenTech Innovation Competition” technology programme is to combine economic and ecological interests through digital technologies. A total of 21 projects will receive around 75 million euros in funding over a three-year period.
The funding programme addresses three levels:
Prognos and its partners provide this programme with scientific support to assist the networking of the funded projects and with transferring the results to industry and the public.
Our work in this context extends across the project and programme level. It includes measures for community building, networking, and public relations, as well as studies and workshops on specialist topics, exploitation issues and legal aspects.

Where does Germany stand on its path to digital administration? The Trendreport 2024 gives an update and recommendations for the digitalisation of the public administration system.
The electromobility of the future will interact with other intelligent systems. But for this to be pos-sible digital technologies will have to be standardised. The study shows in which areas standard-isation is particularly relevant and how standards are established.
A skilled worker shortage and increased numbers of people requiring care: domestic care is facing major challenges. Prognos is evaluates the implementation of the Buurtzorg approach, an innovative community care model, for the Saxon State Ministry for Social Affairs and Social Cohesion.
The Rhineland-Palatinate Innovation Agency was co-developed by Prognos in 2022. Prognos has continued to support the innovation agency throughout the start of its operational work.
Compared to other export sectors, German pharmaceutical exports show above-average levels of innovation and value-added intensity. However, the industry is falling behind in the global re-search competition. This is shown by a new study commissioned by Roche.
The dossier, which was created as part of the NRW.innovativ competence centre, highlights the role that cluster organisations play in the digital and green transformation in NRW.
In collaboration with Prof. Dominique Foray, Prognos compiled a policy brief identifying the potential of smart specialisation strategies for driving forward structural transformation.
Eurostars supports cross-border research cooperation of SMEs in Europe. On behalf of the BMBF, Prognos analyses the effectiveness of the Eurostars-2 programme at national level.
Clusters can function as a stimulus for innovation in industrial ecosystems. This is shown by a European Union’s European Cluster Collaboration Platform impulse paper that uses the Swedish coastal region of Skåne as a case study.
Could purpose become the model for business and society? We investigated this as part of our work for the Future Office and compared it with other scenarios.
