City of Duesseldorf (Office of Economic Development)

With around 410 companies in the city and around 650 companies in the region, Düsseldorf is the centre of the largest Japan location in continental Europe.

The first Japanese companies found their way to the city more than 60 years ago and even today Düsseldorf has lost none of its attractiveness for Japanese companies. Many of them have their European or German headquarters here and use the strong economic environment and excellent infrastructure to develop their markets.

The Japan Desk of the Düsseldorf Economic Development offers personalised, competent and free support for new and established Japanese companies. Whether you need information on the business location, support in setting up in the country, scouting for authorities, searching for real estate or service providers, permits and residence issues or contacting existing networks and many other questions - the Japanese-speaking country experts at the Japan Desk are available to you as a central point of contact for all matters relating to your business activities in Düsseldorf.
