Leverkusen as a venue

 

Leverkusen presents itself to you as a modern industrial town with a tradition and a strategic orientation to the future. Characterised by the world-wide Bayer group and equipped with the experience of more than 4,000 small and medium-sized companies, in particular in the motor vehicle supply industry and plastics processing, this venue orientates itself to the latest developments in the areas of high-tech, bio-technology and telecommunications. The technical infrastructure in Leverkusen does best possible justice to these requirements - not least thanks to a wide range of qualified trained employees.

One of Leverkusen's further strengths is its position at the intersection of a pan-European network of main roads and the proximity to various international airports. The relatively small size of Leverkusen assures close contact between the companies and the municipal decision-makers. Your central partner to contact and coordinator for the implementation of new investments is the WFL Wirtschaftsförderung Leverkusen GmbH (Economic Development Corporation).

Leverkusen's attractiveness as an economic venue is supplemented by outstanding possibilities of living there and by an attractive cultural and leisure-time offer. Currently, residential areas with flats for rent or purchase as well as houses are being developed not only close to the city centre, but also in attractive parts of the surrounding countryside. The proximity to the recreation areas of the "Bergisches Land" and the “Eifel” makes life here so pleasant. The city excels with its cultural offer.

The Leverkusen Jazz Festival brings in numerous visitors from Germany and abroad every year. Morsbroich Museum is known a long way outside the city borders for its collections of contemporary art. Naturally, there is also a large number of schools, both in general education and in vocational training, as well as institutions of further education. A further characteristic of Leverkusen is the concentration of top-class sport, which has an internationally high reputation, as well as intensive support of sport for the general public. All told, about 45,000 people are organised in around 130 clubs. Gliding, football, basketball and ice-skating are just a few examples of the range of possible leisure-time activities.

Make use of the potentials of a venue which is getting itself prepared for the 21st century. We invite you to come and get to know our advantages.
