About me
Jürgen Raizner, born in 1967, studied Business Administration and Logistics at the University of Applied Sciences Nürtingen-Geislingen in the Stuttgart region, graduating in 1993. His professional career in international business began as early as 1991. Since then, he has worked as a long-term and short-term expert in almost every country in Central and Eastern Europe, gaining extensive experience in fostering international cooperation.
A notable example of our recent efforts is the project launched in February in partnership with organizations from Croatia. This initiative aims to develop and implement innovative building materials to strengthen the energy efficiency of buildings.
As the founder and director of several Steinbeis enterprises in Germany, Austria, Romania, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine, Jürgen Raizner has been an entrepreneur since 1994. His Steinbeis Centers support companies in identifying optimal locations for foreign direct investment and outsourcing projects. Another key focus of his work is creating business-friendly environments in Central and Eastern Europe, promoting innovation through effective university-industry collaboration, and fostering entrepreneurship based on knowledge and science rather than low-cost manufacturing.
Jürgen Raizner has demonstrated expertise in managing multinational consortia within EU-funded projects. He has successfully led major consultancy initiatives, including reporting at the international board level and to government officials at the state secretary level. His work has significantly contributed to strengthening economic cooperation between businesses, academia, and governments
