Germany's First Green
Battery Campus for
Smart Mobility
The future of mobility begins in North RhineWestphalia. It is here where investors find the
best conditions for successful investments in
smart mobility: an important industrial region
with a strong supply industry, innovative
research institutes and targeted support from
the state government.

As Germany's economically strongest
federal state, NRW is one of the most important
automotive locations in Europe. Renowned
automobile manufacturers have production
plants here (Daimler, Ford), control their
European business from NRW (Ford, Nissan,
Mazda) or have their German headquarters in
the federal state (Toyota, Volvo, PSA Group).
North Rhine-Westphalia is the center of the
German automotive supply industry. Every
third German automotive supplier is based
in NRW, from internationally active large
companies (Covestro, Hella, Kiekert, Kirchhoff,
Mobileye, Thyssenkrupp Automotive Systems)
to highly specialized, medium-sized world
market leaders.
On Germany's First Green Battery Campus
for Smart Mobility, everything revolves around
new mobility, renewable energy, sustainable
production and cycles. Researching, learning,
producing, marketing, reinventing and living-
the boundaries are no longer traditionally
sharp but closely connected. The vision of
the Green Battery Campus should be realized
on the 140-hectare industrial site PrimeSite
Rhine Region. In addition to the settlement
of a battery-cell manufacturer, upstream and

GERMANY'S FIRST GREEN BATTERY CAMPUS.
On the 140-hectare site of the Prime
Site Rhine Region in North RhineWestphalia I NRW, Germany's First
Green Battery Campus for Smart
Mobility is being built in the city triangle
formed by Cologne, Bonn and Aachen.
At this global industrial location,
manufacturers of traction batteries will

ﬁnd excellent site advantages - e. g. a
large sales market with more than 30
automotive plants within a radius of
500 kilometers, all well-known suppliers
and original equipment manufacturers
in the vicinity, an excellent infrastructure
and qualiﬁed specialists. Make your
investment here!

downstream processes such as packaging,
assembly and new application possibilities all
the way up to the complete life cycle are to be
established at the site.
NRW offers the best conditions for this:
More than 30 automobile plants within
a 500-kilometer radius; a well-developed
transportation infrastructure; an excellent,
industry-oriented research landscape; a
qualified workforce; and, not least, an innovative,
attractive and dynamic environment.
Top-level science and research: North RhineWestphalia has Europe's densest network of
universities and research institutes. For car
manufacturers, cooperation with research
institutions offers the best conditions for the
development and implementation of ideas and
innovative electromobility projects.

On the Green Battery Campus, everything revolves around new
mobility, renewable energies, sustainable production and cycles.
