SUMMARY:

This work aims to identify and analyze the factors driving innovation in the German context, particularly in the digital transformation landscape. Given the increasing impact of digital transformation across various industries, the research seeks to understand how these factors interact and contribute to the success of innovation ecosystems in Germany, taking into account economic, technological, and public policy aspects. In your method, the study employed a qualitative approach based on the 6C framework, which provided a solid structure for data collection and analysis. The method involved conducting 53 interviews with different profiles of professionals directly engaged in Germany’s innovation ecosystems. These interviews consisted of 71 open-ended questions, organized according to six distinct respondent profiles, with 12 questions per profile. The analysis followed an exploratory approach to identify the key success factors related to digital transformation and innovation in the German context. The results reveal several critical factors contributing to the success of Germany’s innovation ecosystems, including investments in research and development, favorable government policies, effective collaboration between companies and academic institutions, and a business culture that values innovation and calculated risk-taking. Furthermore, the study found that the integration of these factors fosters an environment highly conducive to innovation, strengthening the country’s economic and technological development. The research also highlighted the role of small and medium-sized enterprises (Mittelstand) in digital transformation, with initiatives such as Mittelstand Digital 4.0 and Digital Hubs acting as catalysts for innovation in the country.
