A Great Network of Research Institutes
Over 100 independent research institutes are closely linked to the State universities enabling the creation of important networks that ensure an exchange of information at the highest level. Not only this, but with high amounts of capital being poured into the field of research (internationally, Baden-Württemberg leads jointly with Sweden in R&D expenditure), these close links and expenditure have resulted in Baden-Württemberg becoming the technological heart of Europe, with record high levels of employment and numerous Nobel-Prize winners.
