The 2026 TechnikRadar examines what people in Germany think about technology and security: What benefits and risks do they associate with technology? Do people feel more threatened by cyber-attacks than by traditional risks? Which areas of security should receive more funding? How well prepared are people in Germany for emergency situations? Who should make decisions about controversial technologies, and which organisations and groups do respondents consider trustworthy when it comes to security?

The key findings can be downloaded as a booklet. The full results can be explored on the detailed results page.
