Mayor Jochen Partsch pays visit to AGT International's new Research and
Development center in Darmstadt
Darmstadt, [September 5, 2011] - Last week Mayor Jochen Partsch
(Green Party) visited AGT International's new R&D center, as part of an
information tour of high-tech companies in the region. Topics of his visit
included current trends in the IT-sector and software development, location
advantages for Darmstadt as well as the local software-cluster and access
to IT specialists. Prof. Dr. Lutz Heuser, CTO of AGT International and CEO
of AGT Germany, the management team of AGT research and development center
as well as Michael Kolmer, Head of the Darmstaedter economic development
committee also attended the meeting.
AGT International, one of the fastest-growing public safety and security
solutions organizations in the world, assembled its worldwide Research and
Development activities under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Lutz Heuser at its
research and development center in Darmstadt. AGT's R&D center is set to
become Germany's leading hub for security-related software, with a target
of 200 employed researchers by 2012. To date, about 60 IT-specialists have
already been hired.
AGT's fields of research in Darmstadt will be IT-security, mobile
computing, sensor-networks, information management as well as human
computer interaction. The solutions developed in Darmstadt will be used by
AGT International's customers around the world.
Mayor Jochen Partsch comments: 'We are very happy that AGT International
decided to locate its R&D center in Darmstadt. Given the broad portfolio
that AGT International offers, we are especially interested in its
solutions in the field of mobility, environmental monitoring and
e-participation. IT-based solutions for the management of cities are
important topics for the future of Public Safety and Security. AGT
International's conceptual propositions on e-mobility are very interesting
to me personally. The fact that AGT International develops these
technologies in our region strengthens the IT-location around Darmstadt
sustainably.'
Prof. Dr. Lutz Heuser adds: 'Darmstadt's close proximity to research
institutions and the gathering of qualified IT experts in the software
cluster make it a lucrative choice for us. The location provides ideal
conditions for AGT International to expand its R&D activities in the field
of Public Safety and Security and to develop solutions in the areas of
crisis prevention, IT, cyber-security, city planning and environmental
protection. This comes with the active business development incentives the
city offers, helping us tremendously, for example, in regard to the search
for an adequate location and office space.'
Further reasons for the choice of Darmstadt as an R&D location are the
regional advantages of the Frankfurt-Rhein-Main-Neckar region with its
infrastructure, as well as the vibrant IT-software companies and the main
office of the software cluster, of which Prof. Dr. Heuser is the speaker.
He is also honorary professor at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
