I'd say Germany is leading in "middle tech": mechanical, machinery, industrial equipment and of course cars (although that might soon be disputed). I grew up and went to university in Germany but spent all my working life in the US, doing a lot of industrial automation, optical engineering and a lot of software. I'm continually amazed how many little bits and pieces we use from Germany: connectors, cabling, enclosures, motors, controllers, encoders, cameras and optics. None of our computing equipment comes from Germany. We (not myself luckily) also use SAP, which is a different story altogether.
