* In the reporting year 2018 the definition of innovation was changed to the revised Oslo Manual of OECD and Eurostat and is no longer comparable with the definition of previous years. Process innovations now also include innovations in the area of organization and marketing. In addition, the components of the individual innovation types have been re-specified, in particular to better reflect the role of digitization for innovations.
The German Innovation Survey is conducted on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW, Mannheim) in cooperation with infas (Institute for Applied Social Science) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (ISI). The survey aims to include all companies in Germany with at least five employees. The definition is in accordance with the international standards of OECD and Eurostat. Every two years, the innovation survey is part of the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) coordinated by Eurostat. All values are extrapolated to the population of companies with 5 or more employees in Germany. A total of almost 16,400 companies participated in the Innovation Survey 2022 (= 54% of the sample size), including 241 from advertising.
