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.

In the 2024 Federal Research and Innovation Report (BuFi), the Federal Government presents their current research and innovation policy goals and measures. Once again, Prognos assisted the BMBF in the preparation of the report.
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.
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.
Prognos and partners are developing conclusions for the further development of the European structural funds after 2027 by integrating relevant stakeholders.
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 possible digital technologies will have to be standardised. The study shows in which areas standardisation 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.
