Benefits of Ostwestfalen

In order to ensure that Ostwestfalen remains an innovative business location in future, its motto must be “Let’s make what’s good even better”, says Herbert Sommer, President of Ostwestfalen’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry. When it comes to creating the right conditions for business, the region does not shy from any comparison with its competitors: Ostwestfalen’s central location in Europe and outstanding transport infrastructure guarantees fast access to key markets – especially to the growth markets of the new EU states in Eastern Europe.

With its wide variety of industries and services, Ostwestfalen offers a much envied stability and independence from the economic cycles of any one particular sector. At the same time, a growing population supports local demand and the region’s high quality of life and cultural variety helps attract and retain highly qualified employees.
