"Bei Spunginnovationen geht es nicht darum immer weiter zu optimieren, sondern grundsätzlich zu erneuern. Eine Sprunginnovation verändert die Welt grundlegend. Wirtschaftliche Macht verschiebt sich. Radikal neue Technologie hat manchmal sogar die Kraft, politische Systeme zu Fall zu bringen und neue zu erschaffen. Wir brauchen Sprunginnovationen gegen den Klimawandel, Armut und die großen Krankheiten. “Sprunginnovation” ist ein technisch fundiertes, wirtschaftlich weitsichtiges und politisch optimistisches Buch. Es analysiert die Voraussetzungen für Sprunginnovationen und erzählt von vielen spannenden Menschen, die sie vorantreiben."
The book is available since 22.09.2021 at Ullstein Buchverlag.
Here you can order the book "Sprunginnovation" (in German).

"I would replace the 'German fear' gene with a courage gene. We have achieved so much in Germany and Europe in the last 75 years. 120 years ago, the physics and chemistry books were written in German. We invented entire industries and were the world’s pharmacy."
