When it comes to business, Braunschweig has an excellent
reputation, a fact which is repeatedly confirmed by city rankings.
In the annual comparison study of 69 German cities, which was
published in December 2014 in the business journal “Wirtschaftswoche”, Braunschweig once again achieved an excellent
score: 1st place as the most business-friendly city and 6th place
for dynamics - one place better than last year.
Braunschweig has a future: as regards population development
figures, the city has been in the black for eleven years. Perhaps
partly because property investments are worthwhile here. In a
Wirtschaftswoche ranking (6/2015), the city achieved third
place from 26 cities of its class; for Spiegel Online (3/2015),
property experts placed Braunschweig in fourth place in a
comparison of 111 cities.
One reason for this is certainly the municipal business development agancy BRAUNSCHWEIG Zukunft GmbH (Zukunft = future),
which has established itself as point of single contact for the
business community, for those wishing to settle here and for startups. We mediate between the interests of private enterprises and
the municipality. This enables us to help companies to fulfil more
quickly the requirements of the city administration, as package solutions from a single source speed up approval processes. This has
a favourable effect on the company‘s success and the economic
climate.
The diversity of modern society, influenced by globalisation and
demographic change, characterises our economic life. The City
of Braunschweig and its businesses have therefore signed the
“Charta der Vielfalt” (Diversity Charter). They stand for a culture
of solidarity in our society, for reciprocal acceptance and mutual
trust. In a broad regional skilled workforce alliance and together
with labour market partners, enterprises and the public sector,
we create a co-ordinated framework of promising measures for
safeguarding the availability of a skilled workforce in the city and
the region.
BRAUNSCHWEIG Zukunft GmbH advises on location issues,
procures commercial space, promotes business-founders and
manages a successful technology park, which has already twice
received the title “Anerkanntes Innovationszentrum” (Recognised
innovation centre) from the ADT – German Association of Innovation, Technology and Business Incubation Centres. This was the
starting place for many companies which are today conducting
business both nationally and internationally from Braunschweig
– proving that technology transfer functions perfectly with us.
Braunschweig is indeed an excellent residential and business
location.

Braunschweig –
in profile
With around 250,000 inhabitants, Braunschweig is the secondlargest city in Lower Saxony and the historical centre of the most
important industrial region in the state. Cultural monuments and
mediaeval squares provide the city on the Oker with a special flair
and turn a stroll through the city into an experience. The city offers
quality of life and many recreational opportunities; furthermore,
the Harz region and the heathlands of the Lüneburger Heide are
located nearby.
Braunschweig is at the centre of the most research-intensive region in Germany. Science and research co-operate closely with the
economy – a particularly impressive example of this can be seen at
the Research Airport, where successful knowledge networking has
made Braunschweig a European centre for mobility research.
Recent settlements here include the Lower Saxony research
centres for aerospace and automotive engineering - collaborations between the Technical University of Braunschweig and the
German Aerospace Center and Volkswagen respectively. Together
with more than 40 companies, they form an innovation network
at the Research Airport with exemplary co-operation.
It is not only science that has charisma: The Braunschweig
State Theatre with four sectors and a renowned orchestra has a
reputation which is just as excellent as that of the museums, of
which the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum possesses a collection
of paintings of leading European importance. Diverse leisure
opportunities are offered by the lively cultural scene as well as
the sport sector.
Furthermore, Braunschweig is also very family-friendly: early
childhood education and care of schoolchildren are being intensified, the proportion of all-day schools is being increased and
school refurbishment is being accelerated. Children can choose
from the full range of school forms - including an international
school. In addition, Braunschweig is an important university city
in Lower Saxony, with its Technical University (TU), University of
Art (HBK) and the Welfenakademie.

Science is also expanding in the university district, where the
Braunschweig Integrated Centre of Systems Biology was formed –
a further co-operation of the TU, ​​in this case with the Helmholtz
Centre for Infection Research. Here, biologists, mathematicians,
computer scientists and engineers want to work together to make
fundamental biomedical research more efficient. Another interdisciplinary example is the research which will be conducted into
the field of personalised medicine at the Centre for Pharmaceutical
Process Engineering, which will be completed at the end of 2016.

Business and research
The attractiveness of a city can be seen in its beauty and flair,
but sometimes also in rational data. Braunschweig has both: a
city centre with flair and an exceptionally high retail trade centrality index of 144 points. In 2013, the city achieved a turnover
of nearly 750 million euros for a sales area of ​​approximately
180,000 square metres.
structure of Braunschweig. The New Yorker Group, one of the largest companies for young fashion, also expanded outwards from
Braunschweig into around 40 countries. A further example is the
company Auro, pioneer and market leader in the production of
natural paints and ecological coatings or Solvis, technologically
leading manufacturer of solar energy equipment in Europe.
Braunschweig’s power of attraction is by no means characterised
solely through trade. More than 75 years ago, the Volkswagen AG
success story began in the Braunschweig “Vorwerk”. At that time,
nobody could imagine that the car manufacturer would one day
become one of the greatest players on the global competition
field. Even today, the Braunschweig plant is one of the most
important companies in the city, with approximately 8,700 employees producing vehicle components for the entire VW group.
The aspiring GOM GmbH develops and manufactures optical
measurement systems and solutions for 3D co-ordinate measuring
technology, material and construction component-testing in industry and research. Fujitsu Semiconductor, a supplier of semiconductor components and system solutions for the market segments
automotive, digital TV, mobile telephones, network and communication technology, has a development laboratory in the city.
Rapid development also occurred for the Volkswagen Financial
Services AG, founded in 1994, which has responsibility for the
co-ordination of the worldwide financial services of the Volkswagen Group in 51 countries. Together with the Braunschweigische
Landessparkasse (savings bank), the Öffentliche Versicherung
Braunschweig (insurance company) and the Volksbank Braunschweig-Wolfsburg (co-operative bank), a significant financial
cluster with approximately 8,500 employees has thereby been
created in Braunschweig.
Braunschweig is at the centre of the most research-intensive
region of Germany, in which 7.32 percent of the gross domestic
product is spent on research and development (Eurostat 2011).
Today, more than 15,000 people work and research in Braunschweig in around 250 companies from the high-tech sector and
27 research institutions.

mobility. Together with the expertise of the Technical University
of Braunschweig, the German Aerospace Center, the companies
resident at the research airport and further research institutions,
an internationally-renowned mobility cluster has developed.

Braunschweig – provides
funds
for companies
Funds from the European Union are available, amongst other
things, for projects concerning education and research, for
strengthening the competitiveness of small and medium-sized
enterprises, for the sustainable development of communities and
for the fight against poverty. All manner of projects can therefore
qualify for grants or loans from EU, federal, state or other funding
bodies, which may also be supplemented through guarantee or
shareholding programmes.
Good funding opportunities exist for research and development
projects from small and medium-sized businesses if they want
to develop or further develop their own products or want to
optimise development processes. Particularly at European level,
their access to a number of programmes has been simplified
significantly.
BRAUNSCHWEIG Zukunft GmbH provides orientational guidance for business projects as well as advice on suitable funding
opportunities. The cultural and creative industries are moving
more and more into the focus of support from the federal government, states and municipalities. The City of Braunschweig thus
subsidises initiatives or projects which are suitable for assisting
the industry in general. These include, for example, improving the
public presence or an improved networking of sub-sectors.
Braunschweiger Gründerfonds
In 2007, the City of Braunschweig established Gründerfonds
(founder funds) for start-ups and young companies with
headquarters in Braunschweig. From these, grants are provided
for the founding or acquisition of a company as the entry into
self-employment as well as for the expansion of a company. The
grants can lie between 1,000 and 7,500 euros. Excluded therefrom are freelance entrepreneurs - with the exception of the field
of cultural and creative industries - as well as start-ups in the
fields of gastronomy and manual skills without a “Meistertitel”
(title of master craftsman).
Additional requirements:
• A conclusive business concept with business plan.
• The application must be submitted no later than 36 months
following the initial commencement of entrepreneurial activity – prior to entering into contractual obligations which are
related to the planned investments.
• If necessary, the required authorisations for the founding must
be submitted.
• The company headquarters must be located in Braunschweig
for at least three years.
• The number of employees must be less than ten.
• The annual turnover or annual balance sheet total must not
exceed two million euros.
