There's a lot to say in favour of Saarland. Here are the key factors at a glance.
1. Central position in the European Union
Many locations declare themselves to be in the centre of Europe. But which region borders directly onto France and Luxembourg? And has direct access to all western European business centres? Right: Saarland.
2. Ideal travel connections
To Paris for lunch and back for dinner - no problem on the ICE/TGV express train service Paris-Frankfurt. From Saarbrücken to the French capital in 110 minutes and just as fast coming back. Or on a low-cost flight to various destinations. Or by car on the most concentrated motorway network in Germany.
3. Industrial know-how
Night and alternating shifts, working in rough conditions, technical competence, motivation - none of these words or phrases is alien to Saarland. The workforce and local businesses are also keen to show their skills in state-of-the-art service operations. In this case, "industrial know-how" basically means "accustomed to work".
4. Research and development
New materials and artificial intelligence ... represent the focus of the research carried out at universities and research institutes in Saarland. It is not a question of providing variety but of being the best which sets the standard.
5. Finding instead of searching for qualified personnel
You are still able to find them here: the motivated and committed employees, the qualified specialists and research auxiliary staff, even in industries which search elsewhere in despair.
6. Costs - within the niche
Quality has its price everywhere in Germany, including Saarland. However, here you pay much less, for example, for property, investments and even for staff than in other locations.
7. Small, fast-moving and flexible
Saarland is the smallest of Germany's federal states. Here we all know one another - and we don't have far to go for anything. Companies have easy access to the decision makers in politics and in the economy, giving them the opportunity not only to join in discussions but also to accelerate processes and decisions.
8. One-stop shopping
The in-word for the promotion of economic development is really brought to life here. All the tools - from the advice on business location to the turnkey property - are not only available under one roof but also organised by the firm hand of just one company - SHS Strukturholding Saar.
9. International partners
Saarland's partners are located in all the most important economic regions of the world. They help us to firstly find you and subsequently to provide you with our services and support. They speak your language and are able to speak for us in responding to your questions.
10. Powerful structures
You'll find a ready-made nest: with an excellent infrastructure, industry-specific cooperation and innovative ideas; with organisations, associations, government bodies and administrative authorities who have all joined forces to draw you towards Saarland.
11. Plus one more good reason: Joie de Vivre
If you work hard, you also need to party and to enjoy life - and that's exactly what Saarland's citizens know how to do. Deeply rooted in their region but at the same time cosmopolitan, they combine culture and pleasure, nature and sport in a unique mix of German joie de vivre and French savoir vivre, a combination which allow us, time after time, to sense the spirit of Europe.
