Working together to make a difference in Thuringia
Thuringia has great ideas, committed people and huge potential. Together with the Thuringian savings banks, we support people, businesses and local authorities in shaping the future.
Thuringia can achieve more when strong partners come together
Whether it’s research in Jena, industry in Eisenach, economic networking in Erfurt or community engagement in towns and the countryside: Thuringia thrives on people who take responsibility and seize opportunities. As a partner of the Thuringian Savings Banks, we support this development – reliably, for the long term and in close alignment with the region’s needs.
Thuringia is an important part of Helaba’s strong regional foundation. Together with the savings banks in Thuringia, we see ourselves as a reliable partner to businesses in the state and want to work together to achieve more for the future.

From Thuringia to the whole world
In Jena, the cradle of the optical industry and a leading research hub with close links to the business community, JENOPTIK is at home in the fields of photonics, optics and semiconductors. Helaba and JENOPTIK are united by a shared commitment to sustainable innovation and responsibility towards the region – and by their ambition to deliver solutions from Jena to the whole world. For three decades, they have been working together reliably and in partnership for the benefit of the local community.
Setting our sights on tomorrow.
Shaping a successful transformation
The transformation of the economy and industry brings challenges – but also great opportunities. Together with the Thuringian savings banks, we support businesses in investing in their future. Through grants, financing solutions and long-term support, we help them to secure their competitiveness and successfully break new ground.
Working for the common good
Commitment to quality of life in Thuringia
A region is more than just its economic strength. That is why we are also involved in areas that foster a sense of community: culture, sport, education and social projects. From the DomStufen Festival and the promotion of sport in Oberhof to initiatives such as JOBLINGEN, we support activities that bring people together and make Thuringia a better place to live.
Thuringia is characterised in particular by long-established and family-run businesses. As a savings bank, it is particularly important to us that these businesses invest, grow and, at the same time, remain firmly rooted in the region.

Taking over a practice with a future
When a father’s dental practice is transformed into a digital practice of the future, it requires a sound plan – and strong partners. With the local Sparkasse as the first point of contact and Helaba’s expertise, the idea is transformed into a viable financing concept – including cleverly integrated grant funding. For the entrepreneur and dentist, this means: low-interest financing options, greater flexibility and more scope for growth.
