GreenTech made in Germany

2007

Preventing climate change and protecting our natural resources are among the key challenges of our times, and we need innovative environmental technologies to tackle them. In Germany today, the environmental technology industry is already an essential part of the economy, and it is bound to become even more important in the future.

"GreenTech Made in Germany", the environmental technology atlas for Germany, shows the whole scope of this forward-looking industry. This publication, produced by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants on behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, paints a representative picture of environmental technologies in Germany. It also highlights their contribution to innovation, growth and employment.

This atlas presents technological trends, their economic potential and regional distribution in Germany, grouped into six lead markets:

- Environmentally friendly power generation and storage
- Energy efficiency
- Material efficiency
- Waste management
- Sustainable water management
- Sustainable mobility

The atlas also serves as a reference work. It provides interested observers with detailed profiles of environmental technology companies and research organizations. These profiles demonstrate the multi-faceted nature of the industry and highlight the products, services and activities of the relevant players in Germany. To complete the picture, it includes an exhaustive directory of companies and research organizations.

The atlas is published simultaneously in German and English.
