New agency provides impetus for the automotive industry

The Automotive Transformation Agency (TTA) has recently joined the Thuringian Economic Development Corporation (LEG). It supports companies during times of upheaval – key aspects being the transition to e-mobility, autonomous driving, and the "smartphone on wheels," as well as the disruptions caused by trade conflicts and the COVID-19 pandemic. The TTA identifies opportunities and development potential and actively promotes them to secure employment in Thuringia and strengthen the sector's innovative capacity and competitiveness. The new team will inform companies about industry developments, advise them on state and federal funding programs, support them in organizing training measures, conduct informative events and networking opportunities, and serve as a comprehensive point of contact for all matters affecting companies undergoing the transformation process (www.transformation-thueringen.de).
