Important new developments in Germany in the last 10 years? Interesting question, I can think of two right now:

- Stable Diffusion at Heidelberg University

- Biontech/Pfizer covid vaccine in Mainz

- What else?

Interestingly both seem to have had no benefit to the German economy?

Stability AI is not a German company and Biontech's market cap is where it was before Covid.

Stable Diffusion main author is now doing BlackforestLabs, valued 1B?

Biontech is swimming in money and using it to foster its main goal, finding better cures for cancer.

My main point was that I can think of only two success stories.

None of them were commercialized in Germany though.

Germany and a lot of other European countries do a lot of cool cutting edge research. Problem though is that one needs to commercialize it via products and services to reap the benefits. That happens a lot in the US/UK. See the sibling thread about covid vaccine research as an example.
