CISPA Campus Brings Together Research and Innovation in St. Ingbert

    CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security is continuing to advance the expansion of its future-oriented site in St. Ingbert. With the CISPA Campus, an integrated complex is being created that brings together world-leading research, innovation, and start-ups in one location. In total, more than 1,600 people will be able to work on the CISPA Campus in the future.

    The CISPA Campus consists of two closely interconnected areas: the Research Campus and the CISPA Venture Campus.

    The Research Campus will house CISPA’s new main building and will bring together all researchers at a single shared location. This will establish a nucleus for outstanding research in cybersecurity and trustworthy artificial intelligence on the CISPA Campus—with international visibility and a strong regional footprint.

    Directly adjacent, the CISPA Venture Campus complements the Research Campus with space dedicated to knowledge transfer, technology-oriented companies, and startups. It continues the plans of the former CISPA Innovation Campus and creates the physical infrastructure required to translate research results more rapidly into concrete applications and market-ready solutions.

    “The CISPA Campus represents a holistic approach: research, transfer, and entrepreneurship are directly interconnected here,” explains Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Michael Backes, Founding Director and CEO of CISPA. “We are creating an environment in which excellent science does not take place in isolation but instead generates momentum for innovation, economic development, and societal progress.”

    The CISPA Campus will also include dining facilities for employees, guests, and the general public. A cafeteria is planned for daily operations, which will partially open as a skyline restaurant in the evenings. This will create an additional meeting place that integrates the CISPA Campus into urban life.

    “With this project, a future-oriented site is being developed that combines technological advancement with entrepreneurial perspectives,” says developer Philipp Gross. “The CISPA Campus will sustainably strengthen the region’s innovative capacity.”

    With the CISPA Campus, a connected future-oriented site is emerging in St. Ingbert that permanently links scientific excellence, economic dynamism, and regional development.
