Anika Lorenz

Project Manager

Idea Phase & InnoStartBonus

How can geoscientific processes, such as earthquakes, be simulated on a computer with the help of physical formulae? This question and her fascination for the Erzgebirge mining region led Anika Lorenz to study geophysics at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg.  She then started her career in Lower Saxony, where she worked as a Technical Data Analyst in the inspection industry for a leading global technology company. When this company was looking for a manager for the newly established site in Saxony, she accepted the challenge and spent more than three years setting up the new office with an international team in Radebeul. Impressed by the innovative spirit and can-do mentality of the Saxons, the Zwickau native wants to support founders across all sectors in realising their visions.
<p>In her free time, Anika enjoys hiking in Saxon Switzerland and volunteers for the Aidshilfe Dresden organisation and as an election campaigner.
