Baden-Württemberg -
where green technologies ensure a sustainable future
Discover Germany’s big GreenTech community in THE LÄND
Environmental technologies (GreenTech) are a major growth driver in Baden-Württemberg. The industry, with a workforce numbering 200,000 people and a revenue of about 23 billion euros, benefits from a large sales market directly on its doorstep. This is because companies in the German Southwest are focusing more and more on environmentally friendly manufacturing technologies and new ways to use resources more efficiently.
Their goal is to find new ways for more energy efficiency and to use products, processes and services for a more sustainable way to do business. The state government in Baden-Württemberg has an ambitious objective of establishing THE LÄND as a model state for GreenTech and expanding the location to become a leading global market and leading provider of green technologies.
