In addition to key technologies, strategic research fields are another focus of Germany's High-Tech Agenda. They address five relevant areas in which research and innovation play an important role in maintaining and improving the prosperity and security of the population. To varying degrees, they also enable the further development of key technologies and their transfer into applications. Five strategic research fields are central to Germany's future innovation and economic strength:

  • Aerospace

  • Health Research

  • Security and Defence Research

  • Marine, Climate and Sustainability Research

  • Social Sciences and Humanities
