Smart, up-tp-date and sustainable, ruhrHUB promotes digital economic development in the region. As a joint initiative - of DWNRW (Digitale Wirtschaft NRW) and the six cities in the Ruhr region: Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen, Gelsenkirchen and Mülheim an der Ruhr - ruhrHUB is the digital hub for start-ups, companies and digital natives & immigrants from the region. As a young start-up initiative, it has not only been following the local start-up scene for a good five years, but also cleverly networks business, science and start-ups with each other. With one goal that connects: More media visibility for the start-up culture in and around the Ruhr region and, in addition, to offer cross-city support for founders and companies.
