The productivity and competitiveness of German industry is maintained through innovations in the economy. In this regard, information and communications technologies are among the most important sources of stimulus for economic growth and employment in Germany. The use of these technologies to penetrate different sectors is of critical importance. Electromobility is a further key future technology.

The PT-DLR provides support to the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) in its funding goal of exploiting these potentials still further.
