Research landscape
Excellent, innovative, open-minded – research in Germany enjoys an outstanding reputation around the world. And with good reason: its innovative spirit and scientific curiosity have made Germany one of the most agile actors when it comes to developing and patenting products and processes. The country is one of the world’s leading research nations, especially in future-oriented fields. A huge part in this is played by the superb research infrastructure and broad-based research at universities, non-university research organisations, research-based companies and the country’s federal and state research institutions.
Why Germany

R&D companies in Germany
Germany is a powerhouse when it comes to research and development (R&D). Above all, this is because German companies invest a great deal in improving their products: in hardly any other country does business spend as much on R&D.

Top universities
Competition is a key element in science and research, both for researchers and their institutions. This is why recent times have seen ranking lists experience a boom in Germany.
