Innovation support

As Innovativ Thüringen, part of LEG Thüringen we promote the expansion and establishment of economic networks in the Free State of Thuringia. We work closely and agilely with stakeholders from business, science, and intermediaries to advance the development of specialized fields and strengthen Thuringia's innovative capacity.

Our services

To this end, we conduct studies and analyses, develop concepts, initiate strategic projects, organize events, and undertake a wide range of marketing tasks within the framework of public relations. To evaluate the success of these measures, we also regularly produce monitoring reports on the development of the areas of specialization. Furthermore, since 2014, we have also been responsible for managing the RIS office. This makes us responsible for overseeing the process-oriented implementation of RIS Thuringia – a participatory strategic concept for regional development.
