About Us

Innovative Thuringia

Together, we drive innovation forward in Thuringia: As Innovativ Thüringen, we support companies, research institutions, and scientific organizations in Thuringia in collaborating more effectively. In doing so, we manage the implementation process of the Regional Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialization and Economic Transformation in Thuringia (RIS Thüringen).

Our experienced specialization field managers work closely with stakeholders from business, science, and intermediaries to advance the development of specialization fields. Our goal is to forge sustainable connections between diverse disciplines and stakeholders who together expand, strengthen, and boost innovation in Thuringia.

In addition to organizing and conducting events, workshops, and Trade Fairs , we support clusters and networks in developing their profiles. We provide information on current funding programs from the region, the federal government, and the EU, and support projects from their initial conception to the completion of funded projects. We assist participants in initiating, moderating, and coordinating strategically important projects.
