The DWNRW hubs are five regional centers for the digital economy in North Rhine-Westphalia. They are contact points for start-ups and established companies looking to collaborate with them.
The current five DWNRW hubs (DWNRW = Digital Economy North Rhine-Westphalia) are regional platforms for startup growth and company digitization. Digital start-ups receive support in scaling their company at these contact points. Established companies in turn gain access to start-ups and digital technologies and can use the hubs’ services to make their processes and business models more digital. In addition to support from the state government, the individual DWNRW hubs are also backed by regionally anchored partner networks.
The DWNRW hubs rely on successful start-ups to ensure that the development and networking of the start-up ecosystem and the transfer of expertise on digital business models work for established companies. The DWNRW hubs therefore offer appropriate support services for digital startups: Accelerator programs support startups in seed and growth phases. In addition, digital start-ups are networked with mentors, established companies and investors to make it easier for them to access the market.
The DWNRW hubs are also important drivers of digital innovation for established companies in NRW. Cooperation with digital start-ups results in a transfer of expertise on digital business models. The DWNRW hubs therefore make an important contribution to the future viability of the economy in North Rhine-Westphalia.
In order to increase the visibility of North Rhine-Westphalia as a top location for digital start-ups and innovations, the DWNRW hubs organize numerous events.
