Rheinland-Pfalz, part of dynamic southwest Germany, is a region with high employment and an attractive investment climate. Next-door to France, Belgium and Luxembourg and part of the Rhein-Main and Rhein-Neckar business hubs, Rheinland-Pfalz is outstandingly located for those poised to conquer markets.
Air, rail, road and waterways serve world markets. Thanks to an excellent highway system, fast access to five airports (Frankfurt, Frankfurt-Hahn, Koeln/Bonn, Zweibruecken and Saarbruecken) as well as ultra-fast trains destined for German and European metropolitan areas and business hubs, Rheinland-Pfalz is truly well-connected. And then the Rhein, of course - Europe’s most important waterway.
Rheinland-Pfalz is a flourishing corporate neighborhood. Companies are either components of a strong industrial business and science environment as is the case for the commercial vehicles industry, the metal and ceramic sector as well as chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Or they work side by side with internationally successful, mostly mid-sized enterprises, in particular those in specialized environmental technologies. Companies are always embedded in the right environs.
Rheinland-Pfalz makes access to broadband available throughout the state. Already a disproportionately large user base relies on broadband to access the Internet.
Qualified employees are more important than ever. For this reason Rheinland-Pfalz pays special attention to professional training. More than 20 universities and research organizations keep training new generations of workers. None charge tuition for undergraduate studies. Graduates of engineering schools and the dual training system (combined schooling and on-the-job training designed to qualify skills and master craftsmen for the workforce) enjoy an enviable reputation throughout the world.
A successful mix of large and mid-sized companies throughout the business spectrum make Rheinland-Pfalz an above-average performer among European regions. But a good operating base has to offer even more – and Rheinland-Pfalz does so. Here investors and their families find all that is needed for success in work and a familyfriendly life.
Research institutions and universities spark innovations. Technology centers provide an ideal platform for launching new companies. To consolidate the innovative resources in the state, business and science work closely together and outdo each other to achieve top performance. The principle of the simple approach applies without restrictions.
Rheinland-Pfalz accents the joys of life – in every respect. Wines from Germany’s No. 1 wineproducing state are internationally critically acclaimed by juries and, above all, by consumers. Culture is ingrained in the scenery. Just to experience any of the state’s four UNESCO World Heritage Sites makes for unforgettable impressions.
No wonder that Rheinland-Pfalz ranks among the most popular vacation destinations in Germany. Nice for all who live and work here.
A mere knock on the door is the fastest and shortest way to get action for Rheinland-Pfalz entrepreneurs and investors. There is nothing to stop you from sitting down with mayors, district administrators or ministers for a good talk. People know and support each other, and join in finding solutions. It is not surprising that Rheinland-Pfalz can make the impossible possible. In Rheinland-Pfalz, we simply do it.
In Rheinland-Pfalz we think and act as Europeans – no wonder considering its location. Elementary schools teach the languages of adjacent countries. We are open to the world and fascinated in people of different national backgrounds. Corporate managers can feel assured that the families of their employees in Rheinland-Pfalz will have outstanding services in child care and all-day schooling at their disposal.
