S3 Strategy

Strategic Specialization takes place via the innovation strategy of the state of Bremen 2030 on the basis of the key innovation fields:

  • Sustainable economy and resource efficiency
  • Networked and adaptive industry
  • Mobility of the future
  • Intelligent services
  • Digital transformation.

Each of the innovation fields focuses on specific societal challenges and addresses them with strategic objectives. In doing so, the particular regional strengths in the economic and innovation system of the state of Bremen are taken up and cross-industry specialization profiles are elaborated. Unlike in the past, the interfaces between sectors are emphasized and new target groups for innovation policy measures are brought into view. The operational goals and measures (chapter 4) refer to all fields of innovation. With the key innovation fields, the innovation policy of the state of Bremen will be positioned in such a way that it can respond quickly and appropriately to global trends, new technological developments and processes of social change. In this way, the necessary course is to be set by 2030 in order to increase the competitiveness of Bremen and Bremerhaven. More information.
