“…This policy funds 25% of the firms` investment in R&D up to a cap of 3 million euros and until 2,000 employees. Between 2008 and 2015, there were 12,369 R&D projects supported by ZIM (KAUFMANN et al, 2019). In 2015, the small firms, ranging from 10 to 49 employees, accounted for 55.3% of the R&D projects, and medium-sized firms (from 50 to 249 employees) got 23.4% of the total projects.…”

“…Larger firms, ranging from 250 to 499 employees, had a share of only 0.9%. Between 2008 and 2018, the share of small and medium-sized firms with funded R&D projects relatively stable (KAUFMANN et al, 2019). According to a survey carried out with the beneficiary firms from ZIM, the most urgent thing to improve in the program is the percentage of costs funded.…”

“…The most frequent learning effects from joint projects in cooperation with other firms or organizations were applied know-how and technological knowledge (KAUFMANN et al, 2019). Although the ZIM essentially supports incremental innovation, 39% of the projects stand as applied research to put an idea into a new prod-uct or service.…”

German manufacturing firms’ industrial system is widely known as Diversified Quality Production, a product strategy which applies the techniques of volume production to high quality product lines (STREECK, 1997). It is a differentiation instead of a cost-driven competitive strategy. The DQP system is supported by a wide and dense mesh of institutions promoting ‘strategic’ interaction between firms and other actors. However, the transition to Industrie 4.0 demands knowledge intensive ICT which can hamper the innovative potential from Mittelstand. Employment in high and medium-tech manufacturing, ICT share in the GDP and hightech exports are virtually stagnated over the last decade and the industrial policy should heed these early signals. The conundrum faced by Germany is to what extent changes in manufacturing will also require changing the institutions which supported its successful innovation manufacturing model centred on Diversified Quality Production.ResumoO sucesso das empresas médias alemãs é amplamente conhecido como Produção com Qualidade Diversificada (PQD), uma estratégia de produto que aplica as técnicas de produção em escala às linhas de produtos de alta qualidade (STREECK, 1997). A ênfase é na diferenciação ao invés de uma estratégia competitiva baseada em custos. A PQD é apoiada por rede de instituições que promovem a interação “estratégica” entre empresas e outros atores. No entanto, a transição para a Indústria 4.0 exige um conhecimento intensivo de TIC que pode dificultar o potencial inovador da Mittelstand. O emprego na manufatura de alta e média tecnologia, a participação das TIC no PIB e as exportações de alta tecnologia estão estagnadas na última década e a política industrial deve estar atenta a estes sinais. Até que ponto as mudanças na manufatura na Alemanha também exigirão mudanças nas instituições que apoiaram seu modelo inovador bem sucedido da PQD.

Lusatia, a rural-peripheral region in Eastern Germany, currently faces structural change due to the planned phase-out of lignite mining. Against the backdrop of the EU Smart Specialisation (S2) strategy, structural change funds need to be invested where it can strengthen Lusatia’s Regional Innovation System (RIS). With Lusatia’s history, energy seems a promising topic S2. However, it is questionable if there is a critical mass of actors and research for energy topics in the region that could enable regional competitiveness. This paper addresses this issue by analysing the current state of Lusatia’s RIS and the potentials for S2. I use empirical data from statistical offices and the “Förderkatalog” as well as data on new research projects and institutes for my analysis. The gathered data suggest that the region’s RIS is rather thin. While the proclaimed image of an “energy region” is not reflected in the data yet, this may change due to the structural change program and the strategic orientation of the region. S2 may be successful if the new institutes and research projects enable the attraction of skilled workers and firms and at the same time manage to increase the absorption capacity of existing firms in the region. Building a critical mass for cooperation and innovation is achievable, at least in the larger cities such as Cottbus. Monitoring and evaluation of the impacts of the invested funds will be crucial.
