Founded in 1991, the Gesellschaft für Wirtschaftsförderung Aschersleben-Staßfurt mbH [association for business development] carriesout functions on behalf of the Salzlandkreis. Today, the society has three key responsibilities. Firstly, we provide potential investors with comprehensive advice from conception to implementation of their relocation projects and provide ongoing support and information both to founders of new businesses and to medium-sized firms. Secondly, we ensure there is a supply of trained personnel available and arrange training, developmental training and career guidance, so that you can engage qualified personnel for your company. Thirdly, we think of the future – we plan projects and
implement ideas –your ideas, especially.

The Salzlandkreis has developed into a successful business location. Its location in the heart of Europe, the rapid transport connections of the B 6n and the A 14 as well as the major aviation hub at Halle/Leipzig airport have made the region an ideal starting point for European and international companies. As a region focused on innovations and technology, the Salzlandkreis has research facilities that are geared to the needs of business, together with a highly qualified and motivated workforce. Corporate commitment is promoted by a non-bureaucratic decision-making structure, enabling decisions to be made quickly. And finally, the region’s profile is rounded off by the captivating scenery between Harz and Börde, the diverse artistic and cultural scene and the mild climate.

The association for business development contributes to the region’s economic success. We bring together regional companies and potential cooperation partners, research and its industrial application, business and administration.
