Singapore Business Review
|Issue 113

North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany's most populous and economically strongest federal state, is Europe's most important energy region and therefore the largest arena for the modernisation and decarbonisation of key industries. With over 170,000 greentech employees, NRW offers international companies a unique investment environment, for example, for technologies for the efficient storage, transmission and use of energy, water and recycling management.
