Cradle-to-cradle design of photovoltaic modules
The C2C-PV project at the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg is pursuing the goal of returning materials in solar modules completely to a sustainable cycle.
Siemens Campus Erlangen
The company has been building a new district in the south of the city since 2016. The investment volume amounts to around 1 billion euros.
Technology campus for the production of the future
Connecting the real and digital worlds through technology. Siemens invests 500 million euros.
CITABLE
CITABLE (Center for Immunotherapy, Biophysics & Digital Medicine) is a state-of-the-art research building at Erlangen University Hospital. It will drive forward pioneering developments in immunotherapy, biophysics and digital medicine. Construction of the new building was completed by the end of 2025. The commissioning phase and rectification of defects are now underway. At the end of this phase, users are expected to move in in fall 2026.
We are building the StUB
As a sustainable and efficient transport alternative, the Stadt-Umland-Bahn (StUB) is to connect the cities of Nuremberg, Erlangen and Herzogenaurach and also the communities to the east of Erlangen.
Pioneering urban district project
The project follows innovative and ecological approaches. Residential space with commercial space is planned.
