Our Vision:

We aim to contribute to achieving the following:

  • Baden-Württemberg continues to make the most of the available potential and also remains one of the most innovative regions in Europe and the world
  • companies and institutions get involved in networks with innovative and forward-thinking European partners and therefore have faster and safer access to competitiveness
  • Baden-Württemberg is recognised as a region that is willing to learn and share its good practice with other regions in Europe and worldwide through projects initiated by SEZ
  • women and men in all sectors have equal chances in all phases of the innovation process.

To this end SEZ employees utilise their specialised know-how to strive for success for both the organisations and region we serve. The organisation contributes to “shaping” and “serving” the region.
