Düsseldorf – A business location with a vision.
Known as the “desktop of the Ruhr valley”, Düsseldorf has a long-standing reputation as a business and trading centre. Around ten million people live within a radius of 50 kilometres of this state capital. In addition to the large number of industrial companies hailing from the region, many technology-based companies are settling here as well. It is not just by coincidence that Düsseldorf is home to numerous international corporations as well as the second-largest Japanese expatriate community in the world. All of this has helped Düsseldorf, the city on the Rhine where over 40,000 companies have chosen to do business, to become the centre of the world’s seventh-largest economic region.
