Economic development
The Görlitz district business location in the heart of Europe
Develop. Support financially. Accompany.
The Görlitz district is located in the easternmost part of Saxony and borders directly on Poland and the Czech Republic. This unique location offers ideal conditions for actively tackling the challenges in German-Polish-Czech economic relations. There is enormous potential for cross-border cooperation, particularly in key sectors such as metal construction, the plastics and glass industry and renewable energies. The goal is to develop a common trinational economic area that strengthens all three countries through innovative approaches and close cooperation.
A strong, medium-sized business community as well as the high innovation potential thanks to the good facilities with vocational, technical and university colleges as well as research institutions make the region interesting.
We advise, support and support actors who work in the Görlitz district and its municipalities. We are committed to development processes and, above all, support regional value chains.
Contacts for decision-makers
Good connections with decision-makers and supporters can make a significant contribution to the success of investments, projects and undertakings of all kinds. Competent contacts are primarily the economic developers of the district administration and the municipalities. The two offices of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the Görlitz District Crafts Association, the Economic Juniors, the Bautzen Employment Agency and the Görlitz District Job Center are also important partners of the regional economy. Projects to secure and recruit skilled workers are funded by the regional skilled workers alliance of the Görlitz district.
“The Department for Structural Development, Economic Development and International Relations (SWIB) sees itself as a central contact point in the district administration specifically for companies, investors and start-ups in order to support administrative procedures, create transparency and simplify cooperation for companies with the authorities and other partners . Our strong, medium-sized business community guarantees stable and continuous economic development in the future through innovative products and processes as well as the ability to perceive changes and rethink our own processes. We provide support in the various entrepreneurial development and investment phases and bring the right stakeholders together in a solution-oriented manner.”
