Digitally networked production, hydrogen industry or environmental economy: sustainable industries are set to grow up near Datteln in the future, creating new jobs and tax revenue. The dimensions are impressive: with a marketable area of 156 hectares, the newPark is the largest industrial and commercial site in the Ruhr region and one of four sites of state significance for major projects in NRW. Planning permission has already been granted for 60 hectares.
NewPark Planungs- und Entwicklungsgesellschafts mbH is courting investors internationally, for example at the Business Metropole Ruhr investor tour and most recently at the MIPIM real estate trade fair in Cannes. The arguments: The size of the site and the planning law, but also the connection to international transport routes and the proximity to the Ruhr universities.
In the interview, Managing Director Andreas Täuber explains what makes the newPark so special.
