1 Nanotechnology Location Saarland

2 STRONG INDUSTRIES ON A GROWTH CURVE All signs point toward success: whether it is location, infrastructure, cost/performance ratio of properties and spaces, availability of a qualified labour force or political support: in Saarland, investors find ideal conditions. No wonder manufacturers and industries of the future grow so successfully here with us. Saarland is the third-largest automotive location in Germany. It is among the best IT research locations in Europe and a pioneer of nanotechnology. Automotive Call Center Medical Technology Nanotechnology Logistics IT

3 STRONG INDUSTRIES ON A GROWTH CURVE Automotive Medical Technology Call Center Nanotechnology Logistics IT

4 NANOTECHNOLOGY IN SAARLAND OPTIMAL CONDITIONS FOR COMPANIES -Successful small and medium-sized enterprises -Close cooperation of industry and research -Applied research & development -Excellent research infrastructure including renowned institutes, e.g. the Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM) -HQs of large branch networks for industry and research: Deutscher Verband Nanotechnologie, NanoBioNet

5 NANOTECHNOLOGY IN SAARLAND Structure of the nanotechnology players in Saarland It has developped an innovative sector of industry from excellent university and institutional research in Saarland. university research institutes 4 The Saarland Nanotechnology is characterized by SMEs which are internationally active. networks 5 SME 22 The focus is on chemical nanotechnology for different customers from medicine through building to aerospace industry. Surface refinement and surface coating systems have a particular importance and a lot of Saarland companies were significantly involved in their development

6 NANOTECHNOLOGY IN SAARLAND RENOWNED INSTITUTES SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES In Saarland, efficient networks secure competitive advantages of local companies. Nanotechnology is a young crosssectoral branch committing more resources than traditional branches do. Research and industry are closely networked in Saarland, thus increasing the R&D potential of local companies substantially
