Erlangen is a business location with excellent prospects for the future. In renowned city rankings, Erlangen has recently impressively demonstrated its leading position nationwide. The Prognos research institute attests that our city has very good prospects for the future. In the Future Atlas 2022, Erlangen took second place behind the district of Munich. According to Prognos, no other location in Germany offers better opportunities in the labor market. Erlangen is also among the top 10 in the "Competition & Innovation" category, proving once again that metropolitan areas remain the engines of growth in Germany.
Erlangen was also able to impress in the latest city ranking by WirtschaftsWoche, ImmoScout24 and IW Consult. The city ranking is the most comprehensive municipal performance check in Germany. Independent cities with a population of 100,000 or more were compared on the basis of more than 100 disciplines.
The city was the only one of 71 cities to make it into the top four in all three rankings. The level ranking (2nd place) assesses the city's current living, working and economic situation, the dynamic ranking (3rd place) is an indicator of competitiveness and the sustainability index (4th place) determines how sustainable Erlangen is and what development potential our city has. Of course, there is still room for improvement in all three categories. At the same time, the good results are proof of the city's attractiveness.
