Rhein-Kreis Neuss Emerges as a Potential Semiconductor Hub
The Rhein-Kreis Neuss, a district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, showcases promising potential for transitioning from coal power to new technologies, particularly in the real estate of a regional semiconductor ecosystem.
NMWP Management GmbH, in a study presented by Dr. Harald Cremer, the managing director, and Dirk Brügge, the district administrator, highlighted the district's excellent area, infrastructure, and labor potential. These advantages stem from the district's industrial history and current structural change.
The proposed semiconductor hub would offer opportunities for companies along the value chain—including research, supply, chip design, production, and start-ups—to develop and test their products utilizing shared infrastructure. The study suggests a strategic approach, focusing on a small-scale semiconductor factory with a strong emphasis on research and development, which could seamlessly integrate into North Rhine-Westphalia's existing semiconductor infrastructure.
Extensive discussions with local and international industry actors have confirmed the potential of establishing a central semiconductor ecosystem at the site, which could become a crucial stepping stone for the future semiconductor industry of the Rhine region and North Rhine-Westphalia. This development would stimulate economic growth and employment, according to the district administration.
McKinsey & Co predicts that the global semiconductor market will witness significant growth in the coming years, with the market volume expected to reach one trillion U.S. dollars by 2030. Rhein-Kreis Neuss, strategically positioned between research-intensive semiconductor regions in the Netherlands and Belgium, is poised to take advantage of this growing demand.
