How can Berlin further strengthen its position in the global race for technological and innovation leadership? With the Deep Tech Berlin Agenda, the city is pursuing a targeted strategic reorientation of its innovation policy.
As a scientific and strategic partner, Prognos supported the Berlin Senate Administration in drawing up the agenda and helped to ensure that the strategic objectives were soundly defined.
The agenda pursues three overarching objectives:
The Deep Tech Berlin Agenda focuses on five fields with existing strengths in research and development, as well as high potential for innovation and value creation:
These priority areas combine with particularly promising fields of application to form innovation ecosystems, thereby laying the foundation for the further development of Berlin as an innovation hub.
Prognos supported the development of the Deep Tech Berlin Agenda in several stages:

In the 2026 Federal Report on Research and Innovation (BuFI), the federal government outlines its current research and innovation policy goals and measures. Prognos once again assisted the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space in preparing the report.
The Federal Government regularly presents their current research and innovation policy goals and measures in the Federal Research and Innovation Report. Prognos assists the BMBF in the preparation of the report.
Germany, France and Poland are strengthening research and innovation through the Weimar Triangle. Prognos is identifying opportunities and developing forms of trilateral cooperation on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.
As part of ERDF funding 2021-2027, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia has developed a regional innovation strategy (RIS3). Prognos is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the strategy.
The CCRI focuses on the implementation of a circular economy in European cities and regions. Prognos is supporting the initiative as a project partner in the associated Coordination and Support Office.
On behalf of the European Commission, we analysed the mechanisms for implementation and the challenges of Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3) at regional level.
Since 2016, Prognos’ management consulting team has been helping compile the Digital State trend report in cooperation with Behörden Spiegel. Each year the report is devoted to another forward-looking trend topic for public administration.
How do public IT service providers and public administrations work together? For the 2026 Trend Report, we examined the role IT service providers play in modernising public administration.
Europe has a strong research capabilities, but too little market success. The European Innovation Act aims to change this, remove structural barriers and thereby significantly strengthen innovation in the EU. Prognos and its partners are assisting with its development.
On behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Prognos compiled the Green Tech Atlas 2025. The atlas provides a comprehensive overview of the cross-sectional environmental technology and resource efficiency industries.
We combine economic research and strategy consulting for sustainable decisions in politics, business and society. Our robust data, precise analyses and scientifically based findings enable fact-based progress – financially independent, politically neutral.
