The
The Landkreis Osnabrück is an economically strong and diverse region in southwestern Lower Saxony, considered one of the most important SME regions in Germany. With around 355,000 inhabitants and 34 municipalities, including eight cities, the district represents the economic "heart of the Northwest". The region is characterized by a broad mix of industries, which particularly strengthens SMEs and ensures a stable labor market situation, which is below the national average even in phases of economic weakness[1][3][6].
As a central business location between the conurbations of the Ruhr area and Hamburg, companies benefit from excellent transport connections via highways (A1, A30, A33), rail transport, the Münster/Osnabrück international airport and access to major seaports. This makes the district attractive for a variety of industrial companies such as steel construction, automotive supply, food processing and innovative industries[1][2][3].
The mission of the Landkreis Osnabrück is to offer both companies and citizens attractive framework conditions as a strong economic and living space. Economic development is actively supported by the Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Osnabrücker Land mbH (WIGOS), which provides information, advice and funding opportunities for existing and new companies, thus contributing to the sustainable strengthening of the regional economy[9].
Sustainability and future viability are central values of the district. The region relies on a culture of innovation that promotes creative ideas and entrepreneurship. A particular focus is on future industries such as renewable energies, healthcare, information and communication technology, and food and agricultural technology. In addition, the expansion of sustainable transport concepts such as public transport planning plays an important role in making the district environmentally friendly and mobile[2][3].
The Landkreis Osnabrück combines tradition and innovation with a strong community and a healthy SME sector. With its location, dynamic economy and broad mix of industries, it offers an ideal location for companies of all sizes and industries that want to serve national and international markets. This unique mix makes the Landkreis Osnabrück a future-oriented economic area that combines quality of life, jobs and sustainable development[1][6][9].
