IBM subsidiary opens location in Erfurt

IBM iX is an international digital agency that specializes in helping companies to digitally reinvent their businesses. The company, which has around 50 studios worldwide, is now also operating in Erfurt. The digital agency set up shop at the state's capital with a new studio with help from the State Development Corporation of Thuringia (LEG) and will initially create 20 new jobs by the end of this year. IBM iX predicts that its headcount will reach 100 by the end of 2024. "LEG is driving digitalization and economic development on behalf of the state government. We are pleased to support IBM iX with our wide-ranging set of skills and a full-service package ranging from successfully finding a location to networking with local partners and universities to helping to recruit skilled workers," stated LEG Managing Director Andreas Krey on the establishment of IBM iX in Thuringia.

“We see huge potential in the Erfurt area. The quality of the education and university landscape is very good, as are the traffic connections to our other locations. In addition, the region offers a high quality of life and a wide range of leisure activities. This makes it a very attractive working environment for talented people."
