In cooperation with regional network partners, the Kleve District Economic Development Agency has launched a wide range of projects - always with the aim of promoting a dynamic, sustainable economic landscape, attracting skilled labour to the region and finding innovative solutions to current challenges.
In times of advancing digitalisation and networked communication, the Kleve District Economic Development Agency is exploring innovative ways to get in touch with entrepreneurs, investors and the general public.
Together with the savings banks and credit unions in the Kleve district, the Kleve District Economic Development Agency is committed to strengthening cooperation between the regional economy and Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences. The aim is to make the university's wide range of opportunities to develop customised technology and management solutions for entrepreneurial challenges accessible to a broad public. This is achieved in particular by honouring outstanding examples of best practice each year, which highlights the successful cooperation between business and the university.
A project sponsored by the Sparkassen and Volksbanken enabled the Kleve District Economic Development Agency to organise a video competition. The aim was to produce a cinema spot with short statements presenting the advantages of "Living and working in the Kleve district". A large number of companies took part in the selection process and sent their application videos to the Kreis-WfG. A jury then selected the candidates for professional filming, from which the cinema spot was ultimately created.
The co-operation between the Kleve District Economic Development Agency and all savings banks and cooperative banks in the district has already proven its worth over many years. Together, special things have been organised: The colourful hot-air balloon "Start-Up", which is accompanied by the logos of the district economic development agency, the savings banks and the Volksbanks, now repeatedly rises high up in the Kleve district. The key messages on the sky giant: "Space for investment - Kreis Kleve" on one side - "Gründerland Kreis Kleve" on the other.
Image-defining campaigns for the particularly distinctive food industry have been created in cooperation with well-known brands from the Kleve district. Where agriculture has shaped the reputation of a fruitful region for generations, they have worked hard to establish themselves close to the border with the Netherlands.
Exchanging ideas, creating synergies, pooling expertise: Together with regional network partners, the Kleve District Economic Development Agency works actively to promote the economic development of the region and is represented on the committees of organisations such as Agrobusiness Niederrhein e.V., Genussregion Niederrhein e.V., Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Niederrhein Tourismus GmbH and Standort Niederrhein GmbH.
