NRW-Benelux business relationship
Belgium, the Netherlands & Luxembourg (Benelux) are clearly North Rhine-Westphalia's largest trading partner overall and there are diverse, intensive economic relations. The regional proximity and high standards on both sides as well as partly complementary specializations open up attractive supply and cooperation opportunities. In 2018, deliveries worth over 1.3 billion euros (mechanical engineering) were made from the Benelux countries to NRW and even 5.3 billion euros to Germany as a whole. At over 2.3 billion euros, the Benelux is a very important export market for the mechanical engineering sector in North Rhine-Westphalia. The mechanical engineering export volume in the Benelux countries for Germany as a whole even exceeded 13.8 billion euros in 2018.
Network Day Benelux
The Benelux Network Day offers participants the opportunity to meet entrepreneurs and to get to know networks in the two countries and to make contacts. Four established networks introduce themselves and are available for discussions, guided tours and special show areas at the fair provide information about important technologies. The Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands at Düsseldorf in NRW and State Secretary
in the Ministry of Economic Affairs of North Rhine-Westphalia will welcome the participants.
