Bornheim is a dynamic medium-sized town in the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis, NRW, with around 50,000 inhabitants and a central location between Cologne and Bonn. The city combines rural charm with modern infrastructure and, thanks to its convenient transport connections - four motorway junctions, two light rail lines, train stations and proximity to Cologne/Bonn Airport - is an attractive business location for a wide range of industries[1][2].
As an economic center, Bornheim has experienced steady positive development since the mid-1990s. Today, over 180 companies with more than 3,600 employees are based in the modern Bornheim-Hersel, -Süd/Alfter-Nord, -Kardorf and -Sechtem industrial areas. This corporate landscape benefits from fast Internet connections with download speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second and a balanced mix of residential, leisure and commercial areas[1][2].
Bornheim takes its agricultural tradition into account, in particular through the famous Bornheimer Spargel and the numerous regional farm stores that promote the range of fresh, locally produced foods. This combination of tradition and innovation strengthens the regional economy and creates jobs[1][2].
The mission of the city and its economic development agency is to create a sustainable, livable environment that promotes growth and quality of life equally. Bornheim attaches importance to integrated urban development with a focus on environmental compatibility and preservation of the natural landscapes between the Rhine and Vorgebirge. The diverse range of leisure activities, including sports clubs, nature reserves, cycling and hiking trails, as well as a distinctive educational infrastructure with kindergartens and schools, underlines this commitment[1][2].
Sustainability plays a central role in Bornheim: The city promotes the use of regional products, supports economic diversity and is committed to protecting the environment in the growing city. The combination of modern economic development and a natural habitat makes Bornheim a future-oriented location with high recreational value and a good quality of life[1][2].
This strategic orientation is actively supported by Wirtschaftsförderungsgesellschaft Stadt Bornheim GmbH, which supports companies in settling in and promotes the continuous development of the business location[1]. Bornheim is therefore an attractive location that offers companies a wide range of opportunities while focusing on the needs of its residents.
