Interview with Dr. Arnulf Wulff, Senior Vice President Investment, International Business and Cluster Promotion, LEG Thüringen

LEG Thüringen has landed a major coup with the construction of a battery cell factory by the Chinese investor.

Indeed, this means the go-ahead for one of the most important foreign investment projects in Thuringia in the past ten years. At the same time, it is also a result of our committed work in recent months to assert ourselves in the increasing national and international competition between regions. However, the actual work for a step-by-step implementation has just begun.

Has the business location Thuringia become more interesting for investors in recent years?

Yes, recently the share of foreign investors, especially from the high-tech sectors, that are interested in the Free State has been increasing continuously and now amounts to over 50%. Hence, a peak has been reached; at the same time this proves the increasing appeal of the business and technology location of Thuringia.

Where do you see the reasons for this development of Thuringia as a hot spot for investors?

For one thing, Thuringia has a diversified industrial structure, qualified employees, and renowned higher education and science institutions; it offers high quality of life, in addition to its excellent position in Germany and Europe and state-of-the-art infrastructure. The availability of attractive industrial spaces that meet even the most challenging requirements especially plays a major role.

On the other hand, LEG Thüringen, as a full-service agency, offers compatible services for investors, reaching from economic and sector analyses, tailor-made location offers right up to financing and subsidy packages, public authority liaison and finding cooperation or research and development partners in Thuringia. At the same time, LEG Thüringen also supplies especially suitable industrial locations, all under one umbrella! (kut)
