The business location benefits from its proximity to the economic centers - especially Dresden, but also Berlin, Wroclaw, Liberec and Prague. Numerous global and local trends and developments pose challenges for the region. Globalization, urbanization, digitalization and the shortage of skilled workers do not stop at Upper Lusatia.

Structural change and the associated strong dependence on industrial and political decisions also brings opportunities. For example, successions and takeovers of existing companies, enormous development opportunities and the potential to promote ideas and model projects for positive developments.
