Saxony-Anhalt

The state of Saxony-Anhalt is located in central Germany and has a rich cultural background as well as an old industrial tradition of more than a hundred years. The capital city is Magdeburg, which is more than 1200 years old. Next to Magdeburg the cities of Halle and Dessau are the most important cities of the region. A fifth of the 3 million inhabitants live in one of these three cities. After the reunion of East and West Germany, Saxony-Anhalt with its complex street and waterways as well as one of the most dense rail-systems grew to become one of the most important traffic-crossroads connecting the east with the west and the north with the south.

The State of Saxony-Anhalt is also one of the most traditional Industrial areas in Germany. The main industries are found in the fields of Chemical, Mechanical Engineering and Food Production as well as Logistics. At the same time Saxony-Anhalt offers comprehensive technical support for the development of new enterprises.

In addition, education is of major importance and therefore, numerous qualified employees are available.
