Mönchengladbach’s economy is characterized by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), ranging from local leaders to global champions. There are key industry sectors defined by a (relatively) high concentration of, for example, manufacturing companies, as well as the logistics, textile, and apparel industries. Furthermore, as a regional hub, Mönchengladbach is strongly positioned in the service sector, the IT and digital economy, as well as the healthcare and food industries. In addition, new areas are emerging—such as the area around the airport—which are being fostered through targeted networking initiatives. A recent economic potential analysis highlights which topics and industries stand out particularly compared to reference locations and represent opportunities for innovation.
