KREFELD BUSINESS.
Ideas can become reality.
KREFELD BUSINESS is a joint undertaking consisting of business development company WFG, property company GGK and the City of Krefeld’s Economic Department. Our common aim is to help Krefeld to establish itself as a leading business centre.
The business development specialists from WFG provide expect one-to-one advice and coaching to companies, investors and founders with regard to their business ideas, concepts and funding options. We initiate and coordinate networks and projects that make Krefeld more attractive to companies and skilled labour. We present the location, work together on a regional, cross-sector basis and provide valuable assistance to companies with foreign trade activities, cross-border networking and sustainable business fields.
GGK develops and markets commercial estates and projects, revitalising retail spaces and helping companies to look for commercial properties. It also offers co-working offices and spaces designed for companies launching themselves on a new market.
The Economic Department deals with business and project issues in connection with the City of Krefeld’s business areas. As well as this, it drives forward networking and digital city development, sounds out funding – especially for regional and European cooperation and structural projects – and uses the City of Krefeld’s international contacts to promote trade exchanges.
