The ruhrHUB is the digital hub that connects the start-up ecosystem in the Ruhr region. Since 2016, the DWNRW (Digital Economy North Rhine Westphalia) Hub has established itself as a well-known name and has long been a reliable contact point for founders and those who want to become one. Thanks to its strong regional network of business development organisations, universities and colleges as well as national and international partners from the corporate, investment and capital venture sectors, the ruhrHUB offers an all-round package in close cooperation with other start-up support organisations to strengthen start-ups in their growth and thus make NRW's digital economy sustainable and viable for the future.
ruhrHUB promotes digital economic development in the region in a smart, contemporary and sustainable way. In that context, digitisation is the driver for new products and new business models - and digital transformation is the link for opening up new markets. As a joint initiative of DWNRW (Digital Economy NRW) and the six Ruhr area cities of Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen, Gelsenkirchen and Mülheim an der Ruhr, as well as the Business Metropole Ruhr, ruhrHUB is the digital hub for start-ups, investors and corporates in the region. As the interface with the ministry, it also ensures that funding and support from the state arrive directly where they are urgently needed: with start-ups or companies.
