Funding AreaA Region in Change

– After London and Paris, the Ruhr Area is Europe‘s third largest metropolitan area

– The region is characterised by structural change - from the former coal and steel district (“Revier“) to an important location for service enterprises

– The Ruhr Area has about 5,4 million inhabitants

– The region‘s economy is still growing at below average rates compared to NRW. Meanwhile, with 116 milliard Euro, the Ruhr Area generates only one fourth of NRW‘s GDP.

– Structural change is in full swing: more and more persons work in the services sector, less and less in the industrial sector.

– With 12 percent (2002), the unemployment rate lies above the national average.

Funding AreaScientific Potential

Innovation

– With six universities and nine colleges of higher education, as well as numerous technology centres and research institutes, the Ruhr Area has the highest density of universities in Europe.

– In the winter semester 2001/2002, 165.802 students were enrolled in the region‘s universities.

– To use this potential for the promotion of the regional economy is one of the goals of the „Wachstums- und Beschäftigungspakt Ruhr“ (Growth and Employment Pact Ruhr).

Implementation ZukunftsWettbewerb

The Four Strategic Principles

• Ideas

Contest-based awarding of funds, rewarding the best ideas.

Selection of projects by an indepen-dent jury composed of experienced and competent representatives from economy and science.

• Market success

The supported cooperation must result in marketable and market-ready products, processes or services.

ZukunftsWettbewerb Ruhrgebiet ...

... funded with over 102 million Euro, it is one of the largest regional programmes in Europe

... for the first time, cooperation between economy and science is specifically promoted

• Jobs

New jobs have to be created or existing ones secured in proportion to the funding amount.

• Cooperation

Funding is awarded for technology-oriented innovations for which enter-prises cooperate with universities and research institutes. This cooperation implies the chance that research results and development projects can be trans-formed into market successes more quickly.
