Head of Commission for Innovation and Funding programmes

• Nov 2021 - Present

SMEs are Germany's economic and employment engine. They are the driving force behind innovations. While innovation spending by large companies has been rising continuously, the share of innovative SMEs in Germany has been declining for 15 years. This trend must be reversed. SMEs in particular need new business areas for successful transformation processes. To this end, the legislator must create suitable framework conditions. They also need a culture of innovation and appropriate innovation management. Corporate strategies today must be socially, economically and ecologically sustainable. Medium-sized companies in particular must succeed in the balancing act between a high workload in day-to-day operations on the one hand, and the need to adapt their strategic orientation and possibly even their business model on the other. This is the only way they can secure their competitiveness. To do this, they need a high level of expertise in innovation management with tailored methods and tools, as well as the easiest possible access to the European and German innovation systems and funding programs. The overriding goal of the Commission's work is to represent the interests of German SMEs in innovation and funding policy in a sustainable and expressive manner. In concrete terms, the Commission for Innovation and Support Programs pools the specialist expertise of its members in both areas. At the federal level, it supports the management, develops statements and position papers on innovation policy and the German and European funding landscape. The commission evaluates innovation methods and funding programs and develops positions and proposals for improvement in order to tailor them even more specifically to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises. Subsequently, these positions and proposals are shared via BVMW's political network and closely exchanged with the responsible ministries, project sponsors and political decision-makers. Show less
