Training hub in Dortmund

Dortmund enjoys an ideal positioning between the assets of a major city — diverse business fabric, talent access, connectivity — and the advantages of a mid-sized metropolis: more moderate real estate costs, attractive quality of life, and proximity between local tech ecosystem players.

Germany is investing heavily in Industry 4.0, the convergence of industrial manufacturing and digital technologies, positioning the country at the forefront of smart factories. Berlin has become Europe's startup capital, attracting more venture capital than any other city on the continent, while Munich dominates in AI and deep tech.
