Innovative SMEs 2025 - Delphi Survey by ZEW and Prognos

What are the challenges and trends facing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the coming ten years? A joint study by ZEW and Prognos AG, commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, sheds light on this issue. In a Delphi survey, an essential part of the study, SMEs are asked about future challenges. What factors support SMEs in seizing new opportunities? What are the impediments? Help us to answer these questions by participating in the survey. Everyone is welcome to contribute. The results will be used to further develop SME-oriented innovation policy.
