Welcome to LTC!

                          

Your partner in one of Europe's strongest industrial districts

Introduction
LTC was established in 1987 with the aim to support business and industry in our region. An important role is to stimulate the cooperation between industry, universities and the public sector. We are the engine of the regional innovation system and a node for internationalization.

LTC

LTC is a regional development company owned by individual undertakings, business organizations, the public sector and universities and is therefore a natural Triple Helix actor.

 

LTC's role in the regional development process is to facilitate the development of the business community and market-driven clusters. Research and innovation are our strongest core areas. Among our priorities is the promotion of cooperation between companies within our region and other European regions. LTC has a strong network of qualified resources from organizations and institutes and fosters the cooperation between the business community, institutes of research and technology and the Science Park system.

 

We support enterprises' development process and supply competencies in new networks. Furthermore we take part as partners in several ongoing European development projects. Through this we have access to many interesting networks which can contribute to the process of internationalization.

 

The Region

LTC is based in a region which is highly characterized by manufacturing industry and its supporting services. In our region there are several industrial clusters acting on a global market.

 

Furthermore, here you will find a young and successful international University which focuses on entrepreneurship and research.

 

Our region benefits from its location. Many big companies and organizations choose to establish their logistic hubs in our region, since from here it is possible to quickly reach most of northern Europe's territory and to be closely linked to qualified subcontractors.
