Eastern Lusatia has a lot to offer economically. In addition to down-to-earth crafts and well-known brands, there are an increasing number of start-ups with original ideas here. For example, in the vicinity of the Siemens Innovation Campus in Görlitz, the German-Polish Casus Institute and, in the future, the German Center for Astrophysics.
