Berlin (GER), June 2023 - In recent years, it has become apparent that the development of new technologies is unevenly distributed across European regions. The strong demand generated by the green and digital transition for these new technologies threatens to exacerbate this development even further. To better exploit the strengths and opportunities of different regions, an overview of the capabilities and potentials for the development of green and digital technologies is needed. Where can synergies be identified? Which regions can learn from and support each other? This new study answers these questions by showing which regions are key for the twin transition.
