description Abstract The innovation policy of the new German government is at the threshold between the traditional and the transformative. In addition to company-oriented measures, current innovation policy in Germany is characterised above all by its orientation toward benefits for society as a whole. This represents an incremental development compared to the previous government. The focus is on reorienting knowledge transfer for societal transitions.

Effects of the innovation policy arise in the areas of openness to technology, legitimacy of policy measures and participation.
