Research & Innovation: “China presents a challenge for Germany”

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Expert Commission calls for stronger cooperation, but remains mindful of risks

China’s enormous potential for innovation is perhaps the major challenge for Germany’s research sector. Now a global player, CHina has been growing strong in areas of special importance for German companies: knowledge-intensive industries and services. This is among the conclusions reached by the Expert Commission on Research and Innovation (EFI) in its 2012 annual report, which was presented to Chancellor Merkel on Wednesday. While the Commission sees opportunities in intensified cooperation with China, it advises against overly generous transfer of scientifc findings, especially in application-relevant areas.

“China fordert Deutschland heraus”

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Expertenkommission empfiehlt stärkere Kooperation, sieht aber auch Risiken

Chinas enormes Innovationspotenzial ist die große Herausforderung für den Standort Deutschland. Die neue Weltmacht entwicklet sich gerade auf Gebieten stark, die auch für deutsche Unternehmen besonders wichtig sind, nämlich bei den wissensintensiven Industrien und Dienstleistungen. Zu diesem Fazit kommt die Expertenkommission Forschung und Innovation (EFI) in ihrem Jahresgutachten 2012, das der Bundeskanzlerin am Mittwoch überreicht wurde. Die Kommission sieht in einer verstärkten Kooperation mit China Chencen, rät aber gerade in anwendungsnahen Bereichen von einem zu großzügigen Transfer wissenschaftlicher Ergebnisse ab.
