Jenoptik sparks Jena Tech/Innovation Park
Article Abstract:
German firm Jenoptik AG has contributed enormously to the economic revival of the eastern city of Jena. Under the leadership of Lothar Spath, Jenoptik formed joint ventures with former Carl Zeiss scientists who had started their own high technology startups. Their main areas of collaboration are in the fields of clean room technology and opto-electronics. The federal government provided funds to finance technology for the high technology startups while the state of Thuringia also provides financing for firms that join the Technology and Innovation Park in Jena.
