About DBI
We are the team at Duisburg Business & Innovation GmbH – your partner for economic development and a reliable point of contact for companies, investors and start-ups. Our goal is to position Duisburg as a strong business location for the future.
With innovative projects, strategic advice and effective networks, we promote sustainable growth and the economic attractiveness of the city. Together with the City of Duisburg, we focus on targeted (inter)national marketing and support settlements and developments in key industries.
Our work is based on four strategic goals:
- We further develop the employment and industry structure to create high-quality jobs.
- We market commercial sites that are ripe for development and actively support new businesses setting up in the area.
- We strengthen location marketing to highlight Duisburg's potential.
- We promote inner city and neighbourhood development to create liveable urban spaces.
With our Young Talents programme, we open the door to students and career starters. Here you can gain real insights into our work, develop your strengths and learn from experienced mentors. We make it easier for you to start your career through practical experience. You will become part of our network early on and enrich our teams with fresh ideas and perspectives - a win-win situation for everyone.
With this clear focus, we are driving forward future-oriented change – for a strong, resilient Duisburg.
Why Duisburg is more than just a location for us
Duisburg is the foundation of our work – the industrial heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, a European logistics hub and a vibrant urban space with great potential. Together with the city, we are working effectively to make Duisburg internationally visible and to attract companies, investors and talent. As DBI, we are actively driving change with innovation, new neighbourhoods, smart concepts and sustainable urban development. Its unique location between the Ruhr region and the Lower Rhine, excellent infrastructure, strong educational and research institutions, and cultural diversity make Duisburg attractive to people and businesses. Projects such as the Mercator Quartier, Rheinort and the smart city initiatives show that the future is being shaped here. Our mission is to strategically support and drive this momentum – for a city that not only allows change, but shapes it.
Duisburg – a city on the move.
