Growth Industries in Rostock
Innovation, consistency and entrepreneurial spirit - these traits characterize the city and its economy.
Rostock is rich in maritime tradition. The maritime sector is distinguished by a continually growing port industry, a modern ship building industry, as well as competent component suppliers and service providers. Even in the growing offshore wind energy sector – on of the economic mega-trends – Rostock assumes a leading role.
Rostock’s name is likewise synonymous with rapid growth in the field of biotechnology / life sciences. There are currently 83 companies in this sector in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, 25 of which are located in Rostock or the surrounding region. The success of local biotechnology companies and institutes speaks for itself – take the Proteome Center as an example. Additionally, Rostock is a member of BioCon Valley – a statewide network uniting the promotion of technology and its economic applications.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s modern ports and excellent inland connections to entire Europe make it a hub for intermodal transportation. Rostock is an international hub: its central location means low transportation and distribution costs and makes it a prime location for logistics and trade.
IT services are another one of Rostock’s strengths. Service providers and telemarketing companies find ideal conditions and ideal infrastructure in Rostock.
Rostock is an offshore wind energy region. The natural and geographical features of the city, the powerful maritime industry with its long tradition, and the advanced research and development potential of the city are a magnet for new offshore wind energy competence partners.
Tradition and innovation – Rostock is making a name for itself in the aerospace industry. In close proximity to Hamburg, one of the leading European centers of civil aviation, Rostock is becoming a stronghold of aerospace service providers and component suppliers.
