Erfurt – Capital of Thueringen

Before 1990, approx. 60 % of all employees worked in production,40 % in the service sector. Main Industries:

electrical engineering/electronics/microelectronics mechanical engineering solar Industry food industry building industry horticulture and seed cultivation

The University Erfurt, the University of Applied Science, institutions and hightech companies, esp. in Microelectronics and Microtechnics are the base forthis innovative place.

Service companies, transshipment and logistics companies have been newlyestablished. Today, the entire service sector comprises approx. 70 % of allemployees production only accounts for about 30 %.

Thus, the structural change enabling Erfurt to become the service centre ofThuringia has now been more or less completed.

Erfurt – Development by LEG Thueringen

- development of the industrial area Erfurt south east as Competence Center for Microelectronic, Microtechnology, Solar Technology and Services.- site development, facility management, infrastructure development- LEG offers perfect buildings and sites for existing and new companies- Network- and Cluster Management (Solar, Microtechnics)- stimulation of research and development- start up support in cooperation with incubator and application center- acquisition of new investments of matching technologies

More than 80 High tech companies with ca. 1.700 employeesPromotion of Erfurt South East is running by ownindustrial association (fiz Erfurt).

Jena – leading Technology Region in Thueringen

The history and tradition of scientific and industry in Jenaleads to ist role as important high tech core in Germany.Optical technologies, technical glasses and medicalequipment from Jena are well known all over the world:

Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH Jenoptik AG Schott Jenaer Glas GmbH Jenapharm

Effective cooperation from science and industry boosts Jena to an Bioregion.Several new founded Biotech- Companies emphasis the success.

Jena – Development steps

further development of the Friedrich Schiller University extension of the University of applied science force of scientific Institutions Infrastructure development Incubator Center Bioinstrumentezentrum as application center Beutenbergcampus as Technology Park site development for industrial investments

The promotion of Jena and the surrounding region by the conceptand label of „Jenarea 21“


10

Ilmenau – Traditions gets changed

traditional industries like glass and porcelain with more than 10.000 employees slump in economic activities after 1990 high unemployment rates break down of traditional industries Technical University of Ilmenau as main structural facility with international reputation as core of new development „startup - fever“ in the early 90s: spin offs from the Technical University of Ilmenau more than 100 high tech companies were founded in Ilmenau and Ilmenau Region

This constitutes a claim for the development of Technology Region Ilmenau


11

Technology Region Ilmenau – development by LEG

LEG Thueringen gets in 1996 the mandate to create the structural change in Technology Region Ilmenau concepts for technology and science park Ilmenau and industrial areas in the region, also projects like Application Center Ilmenau and the financial facilities were created build a network between TU Ilmenau, companies, scientific structures and und municipalities revitalization for 33 Mio. EUR was managed development of technology and science park and Application Center Ilmenau for 23 Mio. EUR development of industrial areas in the region is coming up marketing concept with own trade mark implemented

Principles (1)

Integration of public support activities

Close cooperation of:- State Development Corporation (LEG)- Technology Foundation (STIFT)- Development Bank (TAB)

same strategic guidelines via the Thuringian Ministry for Economy, Technology and Employment

common ownership of corporations for “special tasks” (e.g. BATT for management of technology centers)


15

Principles (2)

Support of branches with a strong industrial basis (e.g. cluster initiatives, investment subsidies)

Support of technologies with a sound basis of R&D in Thueringen (e.g. subsidies for projects, start up support)

“regional view” to integrate different instruments/ subsidies in a typical strength of a region

development of the T³ - Technology Triangle Erfurt – Jena – Ilmenau (label and concept)
