The German Innovation Survey is conducted on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Germany (BMBF) by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) in Mannheim in cooperation with with the infas (Institute for Applied Social Science) and the Frauenhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI). The first survey was undertaken in 1993. The survey is aimed at all companies in Germany with at least 5 employees and an economic focus from one of the industry groups listed on page 1. Definition and measurement concepts are derived from the international standards of OECD and Eurostat. The Innovation Survey is part of the biannual European Community Innovation Survey which is coordinated by Eurostat. All figures are extrapolated to the total number of companies with at least 5 employees in Germany. In 2021, around 18,600 companies took part in the innovation survey, among them 317 from vehicle manufacturing. Earlier figures were partially retrieved from earlier source reports.
