There are currently over 250 Düsseldorf start-ups and these are an important factor for the innovative strength of the economy in and around the state capital. As part of Düsseldorf’s start-up initiative, a long-term strategy and several projects were defined by the entire start-up community, all with one definitive goal: improving the basic conditions for start-ups in Düsseldorf.

Startup-city.de is the start-up portal launched by the start-up unit of the Office of Economic Development in Düsseldorf which serves the start-up community as a central information point and guide with an event calendar, news and databases of start-ups, investors, corporates, advisors, co-working spaces and everyone supporting start-ups in Düsseldorf.
