Landesagentur Umwelttechnik BW (UTBW)
2024
Baden-Württemberg is an exporting state – including for innovative products and technical solutions for environmental and climate protection (green tech). The demand for such products and solutions is increasing worldwide.
The State Agency for Environmental Technology Baden-Württemberg (UTBW) supports companies based in Baden-Württemberg in the internationalisation and export of environmental technology and resource-efficient solutions. The aim is to identify sales opportunities for local companies and to raise global awareness of the location and expertise in the state.
This requires up-to-date, comprehensive and dedicated market information. Prognos supports the state agency in this. On the one hand, we provide overarching market data such as trade volumes or growth prospects of the global environmental technology industry and, on the other hand, dedicated industry profiles for the various leading markets for environmental technology.
In 2024, we updated the data.
The project results show the importance and dynamics of international green tech markets for domestic companies. The top 10 markets include both nearby European and promising non-European countries. The most important export destination for companies from Baden-Württemberg is still the USA, while China is losing importance as a sales market.
The results for each lead market were presented in clear market profiles. These can be requested on the UTBW website.
Prognos supported the UTBW in collecting market information and provided, on the one hand, overarching market data for the global environmental technology industry and, on the other hand, specific industry profiles for the various lead markets for environmental technology.

On behalf of the European Commission, we examined how the EU can benefit from the bioeconomy.
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 were assisting with its development.
Our study for the European Environment Agency shows that the clean-tech industry is growing rapidly – yet a skilled workforce is becoming a crucial factor in achieving the EU’s net-zero targets.
The EU is central to Germany’s economy. Our study for vbw highlights the extent to which growth, employment and value creation in Germany depend on the European Single Market.
The aim of the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP) is to strengthen the European economy through cooperation. Together with our partners, we were developing the ECCP into a single point of contact for cluster organisations in Europe.
How do trade fairs affect the regional and national economy? Our series of studies, commissioned by AUMA and individual trade fair venues, provides the answers.
How do investments in industrial policy influence regional development in Europe? Prognos analyses how different strategic approaches to industrial policy shape regional outcomes.
How can opportunities, resources, and risks be distributed fairly between generations? In the LIFe project, we are investigating for the European Commission how key areas of life develop over the life course and across generations.
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.
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.
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.
