Abstract
This paper verifies Munich's first-rate performance among all German regions based on numerous indicators of R and D intensity, discusses the causes for Munich's rise to become a high technology region and analyses the role of Siemens as a large firm within the innovative environment of the region particularly concerning its connections to R and D-intensive small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). A survey of Munich's R and D-intensive SMEs shows that Siemens positively influences the innovative milieu. Siemens does not dominate the SMEs so strongly that a one-sided dependency threatens them; rather; they enjoy diverse and intraregional co-operation in innovation.
