It’s no secret that Thuringia’s economic players have extensive but close-knit networks - and that‘s a big locational advantage. For example, automotive thüringen (at), a cluster organization, put LEG in touch with jambit GmbH, who had contacted at for help with its site search. LEG was able to offer jambit a comprehensive investor service package, and the Munich-based team visited Thuringia within one week of the initial contact. The company’s most pressing concerns were finding a location and the availability of skilled workers. Attractive office space in Erfurt was visited and the Thuringian Agency for Skilled Personnel Marketing – ThAFF advised comprehensively on staff recruitment. LEG was also able to assist the company with important contacts to universities and colleges. After only three months of evaluation, the company has decided to expand to Erfurt; it will create up to 50 jobs. “LEG’s service was a huge source of assistance for us and helped us make our siting decision,” confirmed owner and CEO Markus Hartinger. Established in 1999, jambit GmbH provides software services from the backend to the frontend, from prototyping to serial development. Located in five offices in Munich, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Frankfurt and Yerevan (Armenia), it develops custom software solutions and accelerates digital transformation projects. (maa)
