E-mobility drives innovation in German microtechnology industry

In Germany the new energy policy and the demand for new drive concepts for electric mobility have given a boost to innovation and created new business opportunities in the supplying industry. While in the rest of Europe the medical technology and healthcare industry continues to be the major target market for the highest percentage of companies, in Germany the automotive industry has now clearly outrun medical technology as top target market. In addition to electric mobility, other trends such as autonomous driving and connectivity are likely to have contributed to this trend.
