Benchmark Study 1

IPP 1st BENCHMARK REPORT
The structure of the economy in Saxony-Anhalt contents mostly very small and small companies with
less staff resources for EU-projects. Mostly the company owner or chief executive is responsible for
such projects as well as for the whole company. This makes it difficult to participate in high demanding
EU-projects.
