Christa Thoben,
Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy
of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia
North Rhine-Westphalia is one of the strongest industrial regions in Europe and ranks as one of the major trade fair locations in the world. It offers an attractive environment for investors from all types of sectors. Once the center of Germany’s heavy industry, the state has successfully undergone a structural transformation into an innovative business location: the region’s companies are among the leaders in growth sectors such as logistics, nanotechnology, environmental economics and energy.
Up to the minute data and facts about NRW as a business location and tips for investors are offered by NRW.INVEST, the one-stop agency for investment projects in Nordrhein-Westfalen (NRW).
For anything to do with public financing programmes, the first port of call for small and medium-size businesses is the NRW.BANK.
Companies can use this platform to present their products and to make international business contacts.
The EnergyAgency.NRW is the service provider of the State of Nordrhein-Westfalen in all energy matters such as Future Energies and efficient energy use.
