Thuringia opens US office in Chicago – a bridge for transatlantic business

The State Development Corporation of Thuringia (LEG) opened a new international office in Chicago in October 2025.

The office is established in cooperation with a consulting firm. Its objective is to promote Thuringia as an investment destination for US companies and also to support Thuringian companies entering the US market by providing services such as market analysis, partner identification, certification, and soft-landing Solutions.

The US is Thuringia’s most important export market, representing over 10 percent of export volume. The choice of location was influenced by the delegation visit of Minister-President Mario Voigt and Economics Minister Colette Boos-John in May 2025. The new office strengthens Thuringia’s presence in a key region and underscores the state’s commitment to growth and internationalization.
