South Tyrol has developed from an agricultural region into a diverse industrial location that combines tradition and modernity in a unique way. Bolzano, the economic center, combines its historic craftsmanship with cutting-edge technologies and renewable energies, highlighted by the NOI Technology Park. In the Puster Valley, Bruneck has taken a leading role in mechanical engineering with companies such as Durst Phototechnik, while Meran has established itself as a center for the health industry and pharmaceuticals. In the valleys of Val Gardena and Val Badia, woodworking is flourishing, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design. Vinschgau, on the other hand, uses its agricultural roots to produce high-quality food for the global market. South Tyrol's strength lies in its ability to fuse regional traditions with innovative industry, making it a unique and competitive business location in Europe.

Upper Franconia is an industrial region that is characterized by its diversity. Bamberg, Coburg and Hof are traditional industrial locations that are particularly strong in the areas of textiles, automotive supply and mechanical engineering. Coburg, for example, is home to companies such as Brose, one of the world's leading automotive suppliers. The textile industry plays an important role in Hof, while Bamberg is increasingly establishing itself as a location for innovative technologies. The region benefits from its central location in the border triangle of Bavaria, Thuringia and Saxony and from well-developed transport connections.

The Swabia region, particularly the cities of Memmingen and Kempten, is another important industrial center in Bavaria. Mechanical engineering dominates here, complemented by a strong food and packaging industry. Companies such as the GROB machine factory and the Hochland milk processor are based here. Swabia also benefits from its proximity to Baden-Württemberg and Switzerland, which makes the region an important location for export-oriented industry.

Lower Bavaria, with the cities of Landshut and Straubing as its main industrial centers, has a strong automotive supply industry. BMW operates one of its largest plants in Landshut, where, among other things, lightweight components and electric motors are produced. The region also has a strong presence in the chemical industry, particularly in the production of plastics and chemicals. Straubing has also established itself as a competence center for renewable raw materials, supported by the Competence Center for Renewable Raw Materials and the Deggendorf University of Technology.

Assau, located on the border with Austria, is another important center in Lower Bavaria. In recent decades, the city and the surrounding region have established themselves as a location for mechanical engineering, the automotive supply industry and the electronics industry. Companies such as ZF Friedrichshafen and Continental operate significant production facilities here.
