Coalition agreement between the SPD, the Greens and the FDP
Fraunhofer President Prof. Reimund Neugebauer: “The coalition agreement that has been presented paves the way for Germany to reach technologically-driven and economically-feasible climate neutrality. The new government combines economic, ecological and social goals. This sends important signals for competitiveness, sustainable value creation and technological sovereignty. Artificial intelligence, quantum and hydrogen technologies are key drivers of innovation. Fraunhofer particularly welcomes the commitment to increase Germany’s R&D investment to a GDP share of at least 3.5 percent by 2025. Our 75 Fraunhofer Institutes not only create value locally, but they also generate valuable technological knowledge and expertise for the transfer of ideas to commercial applications. As a reliable partner to industry and society, we look forward to working with the new governing coalition on all current and upcoming challenges.”
