Upper center in Rhineland-Palatinate
With just over 100.000 residents, the city of Kaiserslautern is probably the smallest city in Germany and the main center for the 500.000 inhabitants of the western Palatinate. The district with over 100.000 inhabitants not only has high-quality tourist offers, but also numerous commercial and industrial areas with plenty of space for medium-sized companies that produce trend-setting technologies in a wide variety of sectors. It is no coincidence that both broad-based global players as well as successful medium-sized companies and innovative company founders trust in the great future potential of our region.

Over the past few years, Kaiserslautern has very successfully transformed itself from a purely military and industrial location into a high-tech location of international stature. Thanks to intensive efforts from business, science and politics, an impressive local network of companies and research institutions has emerged here.
