Join the Thuringian innovation ecosystem and make your organization visible.

Why InnoX?

Thuringia is home to strong companies, innovative startups, excellent research, dedicated networks, and numerous initiatives focused on digitalization, technology, and innovation. What is often missing is a shared space where these capabilities, needs, and opportunities can be brought to light.

InnoX provides guidance within the innovation ecosystem. The platform highlights who is working on which topics, what expertise is available, where specific needs exist, and what opportunities for collaboration are emerging.

This transforms a strong but often fragmented network into a more accessible innovation ecosystem: for new partnerships, more technology transfer, concrete projects, and greater value creation in Thuringia.
