Economy

Erfurt is a vibrant city with great future potential, and that is exactly what has attracted around 14,000 companies here in the heart of Germany.

Key industries include microtechnology, logistics, children’s media, engineering, food and horticulture.

Our city is an ideal springboard for anyone who wants to try something new, and there is plenty of help on offer for jobseekers.
