As before, nothing is possible in today's everyday life without craftsmanship - the products and services ensure survival, make for a pleasant home, fulfill individual wishes and create a quality of life. In fact, the German cities owe their early economic development, especially to the craftsmen.

 

 

Skilled crafts are on the one hand occupations with a long tradition, such as goldsmiths, silversmiths and saddlers. On the other hand modern technologies are essential in almost all crafts today. Complex production processes, for example in the field of medical or dental technology or in the aerospace industry, require precision and technical know-how. Skilled crafts means lifelong learning, especially in occupations where ever-evolving technologies play a role.

 

Marketing for the region is the central task of the Standortagentur Tübingen – Reutlingen – Zollernalb GmbH. The Standortagentur aims to promote and strengthen the international image of the Neckar-Alb region within the European Metropolitan Region of Stuttgart, as well as demonstrate the region’s appeal to visitors and investors.
