With its pronounced industrial structure, the transformation toward a circular economy is of central importance for the economic location of Bavaria – and remains a major task. Despite significant gains in efficiency in recent years, Bavaria is yet to see a significant decline in resource consumption. The update of the “Figures, data, facts on resource efficiency in Bavaria” study, provides in-depth information on the topic.
Prognos will analyse the available data on resource consumption and raw materials as well as the economically relevant factors in Bavaria. The raw material information is then prepared and a potential analysis of efficiency measures is derived from the data. The aim is to create a catalogue of measures to enable the more efficient use of resources.
In the context of the analysis, available statistical data was evaluated and new indicators identified such as the circular material use rate or raw material-related greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, a series of interviews will be conducted and a literature analysis carried out.
The study results are intended to support actors in the Bavarian economy to develop measures that will permanently reduce the need for resources and thereby reduce strategic dependencies. In addition, the project will evaluate the existing offers of the Bavarian State Office for the Environment’s (LfU) Resource Efficiency Centre (REZ) and identify potential for further development of the available offer.

A race to catch up - this is what Europe needs if it is not to be left behind by the USA and China. In the SPIEGEL guest article, Christian Böllhoff calls for a new match plan with clear priorities for the new EU legislative period.
In uncertain times, there is a growing demand for orientation. PEO® delivers independent figures. Based on our wolrd economy model we project the developments until 2045.
Growth in the German economy benefits the whole of Europe. Our study for the vbw shows that this is due to the size of the economy and its strong foreign trade networks.
The study for the European Commission examines the impact of digitalisation on the employment situation in the individual member states as well as on the EU economy as a whole.
In his guest article "Move Europe - it's urgent!" in WirtschaftsWoche, Christian Böllhoff calls for Europe to reposition itself geo-economically in order to strengthen its position between the economic giants USA and China.
Mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, pharmaceuticals: In which sectors is Germany still a leader? On behalf of the Handelsblatt, we examined how successfully Germany is holding its own against its international competitors.
Germany and Europe are trying to find their place in the New World Order. Prognos examined four foreign trade strategies for the vbw.
What needs to happen for Europe to survive in global competition? We analysed this at the “12 Minutes Europe – Meeting Global Challenges” event organised by the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber.
72 billion hours: That is how many unpaid care work hours are performed in Germany, annually, by women. In a new paper, we show the value of unpaid care work and how unevenly it is dis-tributed between men and women.
Once again, Prognos has compiled the Innovation Index Germany on behalf of the Vodafone Institute for Society and Communications. The index quantifies the impact the expansion of Germany’s digital infrastructure has had on its innovation strength.
