The city has very old trading traditions dating from medieval times and a long history of industrialisation, beginning with the establishment of a railway station in 1850. The most important sector is still classical industry (machinery, especially motor vehicles; [[electronics]]; [[pharmaceuticals]]). The establishment of the [[University of Ulm]] in 1967, which focuses on [[biomedicine]], the sciences, and engineering, helped support a transition to high-tech industry, especially after the crisis of classical industries in the 1980s. {{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}
