Your future is our business: Welcome to the business hubs of Neckar-Alb
A combination of Swabian inventive spirit and hard work, and close connections between industry and research, are what make the Neckar-Alb region so special. It is in the heart of Baden-Württemberg, demonstrably the most innovative region in Europe.

(firmenpresse) - Where the future goes back a long way
The spot where great engineers such as Gottlieb Daimler or Wilhelm Maybach once began their careers is now home to numerous global market leaders. Many enterprises profit from the pool of well-trained professionals and the vicinity to automotive companies such as Daimler, Porsche and Audi. In the Neckar-Alb region, six industrial sectors converge: mechanical engineering, the automotive sector, medical technology, technical textiles, biotechnology, and wood/ regenerative energies.
A young sector meets research
In the field of biotechnology the region has long been a world leader: in 1869 Friedrich Miescher in Tübingen discovered nucleic acid and founded biochemistry; in 1995 Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard of the Tübingen Max Planck Institute won the Nobel Prize for evolutionary biology.
Companies researching and producing in the field of biotechnology will find the area has an excellent infrastructure, with a good supply of professional scientific staff, and universities and well-known institutes near at hand. Strong medical technology and automation clusters in the neighbourhood create synergies.
Regenerative energies and wood
Some 2,000 industrial and skilled trades companies work locally in this sunrise industry. Various funding programmes create an innovation-friendly environment. The university of Rottenburg has been bestowed an award by the UNESCO. With its courses in forestry, bioenergy and water resource management, it is a guaranteed source of new ideas and qualified experts.
The Neckar-Alb region as a scientific hub
Not only are top workers trained in the area, but novel products and services are also constantly being developed. Around Tübingen University and the institutes of higher education in Reutlingen, Albstadt-Sigmaringen and Rottenburg, spin-offs and new ventures have produced a hive of entrepreneurial activity. Medical technology and the life sciences dominate the scene. Technology parks with excellent facilities, such as those at ttr (Technologiepark Tübingen-Reutlingen) or the UNIPRO commercial park in Gomaringen with its close university links, create perfect conditions for scientists and entrepreneurs.
Researchers and entrepreneurs as partners
Close cooperation between science and industry is to secure the future of the Neckar-Alb region as a prime location. One good example of this is the work of Tübingen University's Natural and Medi-cal Sciences Institute (NMI), based in Reutlingen. The NMI carries out business-focused research and development at the crossroads where bioscience meets materials science. The institute provides services and all-in-one solutions for top-notch technologies such as pharmaceutics and bio-technology, biomedical engineering and surface and interface technology.
Live where others just holiday
One critical factor in favour of the location is its high quality of life. The region is set in a landscape of unique beauty, most of which has been designated a biosphere reserve by the UNESCO. It is a landscape of contrasts, with juniper heathland, gentle rolling valleys and jutting rocks. Proud castles and fairytale palaces make it an enticing place to come and stay.
