SKELETON Technologies has chosen Markranstädt as the location for its new "Gigafactory". In future, pioneering supercapacitors and battery technologies will be developed and built here.
"Markranstädt was chosen because of its favourable location. The links to the A9 and A14 motorways and the proximity of a major supplier and a major customer of Morssinkhof-Rymoplast are major plus points. On the other hand, the Dutch company was very impressed by the regional business development programme. The business development agency Invest Region Leipzig GmbH, the city of Markranstädt and the district of Leipzig, including the district administrator's economic development department, worked hand in hand and opened doors."
Tobias Drechsel, CEO Thinkport GmbH
"We are delighted to have taken this step and moved to Leipzig to be able to further develop Thinkport ... Invest Region Leipzig made it extremely easy for us to get started in Leipzig. In particular, the personal support and the information provided about the location helped us to get an overview. I can really recommend contacting the IRL if you are considering expanding to Leipzig."
Marcus Petzold, Branch Manager
"A big compliment goes to the commitment of Invest Region Leipzig and the centrality it offers. We were supported in our search for premises, networking with local networks and in our search for specialists. The city gave us a warm welcome and all Natuvions who use the office in Schlossgasse quickly feel very much at home."

Jens Ziegler, Geschäftsstellenleiter Leipzig
„Unser Berater von der Invest Region Leipzig hat sehr gut verstanden, was wir für eine Immobilie suchen und passgenau zugearbeitet. Er hat mir dann auch den Tipp für die Beantragung von Fördermitteln gegeben. Außerdem haben wir den Fachkräfteservice genutzt. Das lief sehr gut. Ohne die Unterstützung der Invest Region Leipzig wäre es gerade bei der Bürosuche ein Stück weit schwieriger geworden.“
Philipp Göllner, CEO XALT GmbH
