Technological standing (5 point scale): 4
Strengths²¹

The economy is far from being mono-structured. Nearly the half net product is produced in the areas of mechanical engineering, car manufacturing and electrical and electronic engineering. Every second employee is working in this area. Textile, wood and synthetic material industry holds the place. The service sector is comparably weak developed. Agriculture is only of minor economic importance. ²²

With an area of 35.752 km² and a population of 10,63 Mio.(2002), Baden-Württemberg is the third-largest state within the Federal Republic.
Main features of the economy are innovation, research and development. The state lists the second highest number of applications for patents in Germany after Bavaria. It has a strong research and development infrastructure focusing on information and communications technologies, environmental technology and biotechnology. 3,7% of GDP is invested in research and development. Baden-Württemberg is the state with the highest number of universities and colleges (69) (e.g. universities: 10; colleges of education: 6; colleges of art: 8; higher education institutions: 34, private universities: 7; training academies: 8) and about 100 non-university research institutions.

21,03% of all employees work in the high-technology industry. The Stuttgart region, for example, is leading a list of 15 European regions with the highest percentage of high-technology workplaces. The highly export-oriented industrial sector (1,5% of all international exports) is dominated by production industry, software development, mechanical engineering, car manufacturing and electrical and electronic engineering. The industrial structure is rather decentralised. Moreover, tourism is a strong economic area, which make the state second German holiday destination. Its newspaper landscape is rather fragmented with 17 journalistic units and 64 newspaper publishers. Baden-Württemberg does not have a ‘state-wide’ published newspaper, such as the Süddeutsche Zeitung in Bavaria. It is furthermore the state with the most specialist publications and most book production in Germany (data of 1999).

In 1999 the state held rank 3 in investment per employee in the processing industry.²³

Companies: ABB, Audi, Bosch, Citizen, DaimlerChrysler, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Porsche, Zeiss

Weaknesses²⁴ [short description]

Few natural resources and energy resources; high export orientation

Evolution in last decade²⁵ [short description]

Employment has been slightly growing (1992: 5.132.000, 2002: 5.359.100) and the same holds true for the GDP/per capita (1992: 23.757 €, 2002:28.920€).²⁶

Stronger emphasis on software development, new technologies, et. With a view to its labour market, Baden-Württemberg is a frontrunner in the reduction of unemployment. From 1997 until 1999 the unemployment rate was sank around 15% (Western German average: -8,8%).
