The City
In Karlsruhe in 1957 Professor Karl Steinbuch coined the term “Informatik” – IT in short – which has since become a brand label for the entire region. Today, around 11,500 social insurance-contributing employees in Karlsruhe work in this sector. The region has become one of the leading IT locations in Europe and is part of the leading federal IT cluster. The growing market for services in this sector offers businesses good perspectives for future growth.
Besides the IT sector, Karlsruhe’s economy benefits from its proximity to research through an intensive transfer of knowledge and technologies, as well as a trained and skilled workforce. Close collaboration with local universities gives rise to projects and cooperation which bring benefits to all involved. They’re also an important prerequisite for international competitiveness. That’s why interchanges between research, education and the business world are especially supported.
All in all Karlsruhe offers solid opportunities for skilled workers and executives. The city and the TechnologieRegion (technology region) are characterized by a high density of businesses in the science and technology intensive sectors. Solid growth, attractive jobs with high wage and salary levels and excellent career opportunities offer skilled workers the opportunity to come aboard. Additionally, Karlsruhe is a good place not only to work but also to live.
