Leipzig - in the heart of Europe
As the gateway to the European markets, it is only natural that Leipzig plays a leading role in the metropolitan region of central Germany, also known as the Saxony Triangle.
It is not just since the successful settlement of major industrial, commercial and service companies such as DHL, Amazon, Porsche, BMW, Quelle etc. and the expansion of the Leipzig/Halle Airport and Trade Fair that the economic region of Leipzig, with its 1.5 million inhabitants, has been the most important hub between Western and Eastern Europe. Today, the booming logistics sector in particular benefits from this, but Leipzig has also preserved its tradition as a trading and exhibition centre.
The Leipzig labour market offers a great number of highly qualified personnel from various professions. If you want to grow successfully, then this is the place to be!
In Leipzig, commerce and science meet. Companies benefit in several ways from the many university facilities. People looking for holiday jobs or internships are as equally available as are highly qualified graduates.
If you wish to benefit from the advantages of Leipzig as a business location but at the same time lay emphasis on a low-cost location, then learn more about the city of Schkeuditz.
