The German government plans to launch a national agency to support market-creating innovation—Sprunginnovationen—to boost start-ups and help small-scale entrepreneurs.

“We need innovations with the potential to crack open new markets,” she said. “That’s why I want to create something the German innovation system is lacking so far.”
