Jena is a high-tech center
Jena is not only a location for all things “high-tech”, but is also the leading scientific center in Thuringia. Highly qualified work, world-wide cooperation, well-developed infrastructures, and a growing economic potential helped establish the city’s reputation. Enterprises like ZEISS, JENOPTIK, SCHOTT Jenaer Glas and Jenapharm have built up and consolidated the economic region and shaped new high-tech enterprises with visionary technologies. The history of tight and effective cooperation between science and economy helped bring Jena to the top position as a high technology location in the new federal states.
