With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dismantling of the Schwarze Pumpe gas combine, there was a real structural break in the region. Hoyerswerda was particularly affected. Thousands of people lost their jobs and eventually moved away. But a lot has changed since then; the current situation is completely different. The city and society have many opportunities to exert great influence on structural change. With the experience of the last 30 years coupled with many ideas and visions, numerous projects are already being implemented and the future is being shaped together. The best conditions are to be created for business, research and education. Important networks and also funding opportunities are available for this purpose. Together, jobs are secured and jobs of the future are created.
