Our services

In the Thuringian Cluster Management of LEG Thüringen, we promote the expansion and establishment of economic networks in the Free State of Thuringia. We work as closely as we do agilely with actors from business, science and intermediaries to advance the development of the fields of specialisation and strengthen Thuringia's innovative power.

To this end, we conduct studies and analyses, create concepts, initiate strategic projects, organise events and take on a wide range of marketing tasks in the context of public relations. To check the success of these measures, we also prepare regular monitoring reports on the development of the fields of specialisation.

In addition, we have also taken on the task of the RIS office since 2014. We are thus responsible for steering the process-oriented implementation of RIS Thuringia – a participation-oriented strategy concept for the development of regions.
