Jan 21, 2010



Since 2004, the German microtechnology, nanotechnology and advanced materials companies have suffered significant cutbacks on foreign markets. While the percentage of companies that achieved more than half of their turnover on foreign markets in 2004 was still above 50%, it was only at 33% in 2009. In the rest of Europe, 58% of the companies achieved more than half of their turnover through export sales.
