Your business location – the state of North Rhine-Westphalia

Germany's strongest federal state in economic terms is characterized by its major players in the mechanical engineering, chemical, and metalworking industries. The automotive industry, food production, and beer brewing are also important economic sectors in North Rhine-Westphalia. The service sector should not be forgotten here either. Sectors such as real estate, trade, and tourism are increasingly contributing to the economic success of North Rhine-Westphalia. Taking the city of Bonn as an example, "the service sector has a floor space turnover of approximately 18,400 square meters of brokered office space.^"

The state's excellent infrastructure also makes it an ideal central transport hub. Six airports, high-speed ICE rail links and the associated rail network make it a hub for national and international trade routes. North Rhine-Westphalia also has a dense motorway network.

Trade fair cities such as Aachen, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Essen, and Dortmund offer suitable venues for trade. For example, Gamescom, the world's largest trade fair for computer and video games, is held annually at the Cologne Exhibition Center.
