Eastern Journey to Neuss and Kaarst
In recent years, Ota City in Japan and Rhein-Kreis Neuss in Germany have been forging partnerships, particularly focusing on industrial and economic exchanges. This collaboration is driven by Ota City's robust industrial base and Rhein-Kreis Neuss's proximity to Düsseldorf, a hub for Japanese companies in Germany.
These partnerships often involve promoting joint ventures, supporting Japanese companies in the region, and municipal exchanges aimed at boosting regional economic development. However, a recent search did not yield information on any recent collaborative efforts focusing on economic development or partnerships with Japanese companies.
Despite this gap in the search results, there have been several notable initiatives. For instance, a Japanese economic delegation, accompanied by the Economic Development Officer, Johanna Mehring, visited local businesses such as Pre-Wa-Tec in Rommerskirchen, AES motomation in Kaarst, and IKEGAMI in Neuss. The purpose of these visits was to deepen networking with local businesses and strengthen economic ties between Japan and Rhein-Kreis Neuss.
Martin Stiller, the Economic Affairs Commissioner for Rhein-Kreis Neuss, considers Japan an important partner, given the region's economically-oriented focus. He aims to tap into the potential of growing investment and trade relations between Japan and Rhein-Kreis Neuss to create additional value for the region and its citizens.
Moreover, initiatives like a joint event held in late 2022 at the Haneda Innovation City in Tokyo, aimed at promoting mutual investments for SMEs and startups between Ota City and Rhein-Kreis Neuss, underscore the commitment of both parties to strengthen their economic ties.
Robert Abts, head of Kreiswirtschaftsförderung, the economic development agency for Rhein-Kreis Neuss, emphasizes the intention to continue strengthening cooperation with Ota City and to work towards new settlements and cooperation initiatives between Japanese companies and local businesses.
The potential for increased and secured prosperity through these growing investment and trade relations is significant, according to Martin Stiller. As both Ota City and Rhein-Kreis Neuss share similar economic and socio-economic structures, there is a strong basis for continued collaboration and mutual growth.
For those interested in the latest updates on these collaborative efforts, checking recent press releases on the official websites of Ota City, Rhein-Kreis Neuss, or their respective economic development agencies would be a good starting point.
The economic delegation from Japan, led by Johanna Mehring, recently visited local businesses in Rhein-Kreis Neuss, such as Pre-Wa-Tec, AES motomation, and IKEGAMI, to deepen networking and strengthen economic ties.
Martin Stiller, the Economic Affairs Commissioner for Rhein-Kreis Neuss, sees technology and finance industries as potential areas for collaboration with Japan, aiming to secure prosperity and mutual growth for both regions.
