Expanding Industrial Hub Reinforces Dormagen's Smart City Landscape

Dormagen's Smart Industrial Campus: A Hub for Innovation and Growth

The town of Dormagen, Germany, is set to strengthen its industrial prowess with the development of the Smart Industrial Campus. This new venture, being built adjacent to the established Chempark, promises to create new opportunities and reinforce Dormagen's status as a significant economic hub.

The Smart Industrial Campus is designed to facilitate innovation, growth, and sustainable value creation. According to Mayor Erik Lierenfeld, this development will create the perfect conditions for these objectives. Close coordination between the Stadtmarketing- und Wirtschaftsentwicklung AG Dormagen (SWD), the Chempark operator Currenta, and landowners has been positive, setting the stage for the project's success.

The Chempark, a vital part of Dormagen's economy for over a century, will continue to play a significant role in the development. Companies can produce within the Chempark, while administrative, research, and development activities can be located outside of it through the Smart Industrial Campus. This arrangement offers an optimal connection between production and development areas, as highlighted by Michael Bison, Managing Director of SWD.

Manufacturing companies with high infrastructure requirements, such as those from the recycling industry, are a prime target for SWD. The expansion of the Smart Industrial Campus into a digital park is another strategy employed by SWD, aiming to attract development-oriented companies that develop digital innovations for industry.

SWD's ambition is to attract new target groups for the location, including startups and scaleups with a connection to the chemical industry. The interest from these companies, along with technology-oriented firms, indicates that SWD's strategy is on the right track, according to Michael Bison.

The Smart Industrial Campus offers high location quality, being situated near industrial production areas. This strategic positioning strengthens Dormagen's industrial hub, making it a key selling point for the region. With the potential for new company settlements in Dormagen and the Chempark expressing interest in new settlements within its vicinity, the future looks promising for this thriving industrial town. The Smart Industrial Campus indeed creates new future prospects for Dormagen.
