Welcome to North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW) - Europe's leading Energy Region!

North Rhine-Westphalia lies in the heart of Europe and borders on the Netherlands and Belgium. It is both the most populous and the most densely populated of the 16 federal states in Germany. 18 million people live on an area of 34,086 square kilometers (529 inhabitants/sq. km) almost exactly as many as in New York State, Australia or Taiwan, and more than in the Netherlands, Belgium, Czechia, Hungary or Sweden.

Nowhere is the economic significance of the energy-consuming and energy–supply industry, of the suppliers and beneficiaries of new energy technologies and energy services, and of energy research and energy technology development as evident as in North Rhine-Westphalia. There is hardly a region anywhere in the world where more knowledge and experience in the energy sector has been accumulated over the past 150 years than in NRW.

The following pages provide a continuously updated overview of the most important fields of competence in the EnergyRegion.NRW. For each field, we present a selection of companies, research institutions and key projects. Through these pages, you can directly get in touch with company representatives or project managers.

If you are interested in a specific field or technology, you can use the "Topic Finder"-toolbar on the upper right to retrieve a list of relevant companies, research institutions and projects.
