ruhrHUB aims to give the start-up culture in and around the Ruhr region more media visibility and offer cross-city support for founders and companies. Through close cooperation with our shareholders, we have direct access to municipal funding programmes, start-up initiatives and the network of business development agencies. We also provide founders with a comprehensive overview of regional programmes. In the long term, we want to establish a hotspot for digital innovation that benefits from the region’s strengths and makes the Ruhr an essential and visible part of the German start-up landscape.
