Digital Business Cards in Erfurt — Thuringia's Capital for Business and Politics

Erfurt is one of Germany's most underrated cities for business. As the capital of Thuringia, it's home to state government and public administration, a historic trade fair tradition (Erfurt has hosted trade fairs since the Middle Ages), and a growing startup ecosystem fueled by the University of Erfurt and FH Erfurt (University of Applied Sciences). The city's central location in Germany — exactly halfway between Frankfurt and Berlin — makes it a natural meeting point.
