Its role Investor / Financier
The German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) is a federal government body responsible for national policy and public funding in research, technological development, and space activities. It sets strategic priorities, designs and administers funding programs, and coordinates with other ministries, research organizations, and European partners to advance Germany’s scientific and technological capabilities.
For the chemical industry, the ministry’s work is relevant to materials science, process engineering, industrial digitalization, and energy-transition technologies such as hydrogen, carbon management, and circular economy solutions. It supports collaboration between universities, public research institutes, and industry to accelerate innovation, strengthen technology transfer, and build research infrastructure. Through these activities, BMFTR helps shape the scientific basis and innovation framework that underpin competitiveness, safety, and sustainability across Germany’s chemical and process industries.
