Rhein-Kreis: Future location for semiconductor industry in the start!

A new report by "NMWP Management GmbH" brings exciting news for the Rhein-kreis! The analysis, presented by Managing Director Dr. Harald Cremer to district director Dirk Bruges shows that the region has an outstanding potential to establish itself as the center of the semiconductor industry. With an excellent infrastructure, plenty of available areas and a well-trained workforce, the Rhein-Kreis is ready to design the digital future.

"The study shows that our circle is well positioned compared to other regions," emphasizes Bruges. The settlement of hyperscale data centers through Microsoft is a clear sign of trust in the Rheinische Revier and the enormous interests of the global digital economy. A digital and innovation location at the former Frimmersdorf power plant could be the key to a new era for the region.

semiconductor hub in sight!

The "NMWP study" emphasizes that the Rhein-Kreis has excellent opportunities to attract specialized companies and to develop a regional semiconductor ecosystem. Experts from the industry see great potential for the creation of a "semiconductor hub" that companies combined in the entire value chain-from research to chip design to start-ups. This could make the region an important location for innovative technologies.

The experts recommend focusing on highly specialized products with great market potential instead of setting up a "mega-Fab" for standard products. A semiconductor work with initial smaller production volumes and a strong focus on research and development could significantly increase the feasibility of the project. Talks with local and international actors have already started to build the establishment of a central semiconductor ecosystem.

According to McKinsey & Co, the global semiconductor market will experience enormous growth in the coming years, with a market volume of up to a trillion US dollar by 2030. North Rhine-Westphalia has already been an international market leader in various areas Half -conductor industry established and is well positioned to benefit from this growth.
