Economy in Wiehl is booming: Successful first business meeting 2025!

On February 11, 2025, the first Wiehler Wirtschaftstreff took place in the rooms of the BGS Beta-Gamma-Service GmbH & Co. KG. The organizers were the city of Wiehl and the economic development of the Oberberg district. This kick -off event attracted around 80 representatives of Wiehler companies and served the goal of making contacts, enabling an exchange and collecting fresh impulses for the economy. Managing Director Dr. Andreas Ostrowicki emphasized the immense importance of networking in times of change. Mayor Ulrich Stücker said that the format aims to build a local network to improve the framework conditions for companies. Frank Herhaus, department for planning, regional development and the environment, described the event as great success and emphasized the support of the economy.

This initiative reflects the growing importance of regional economic cycles and local investments, especially in the Oberberg region. According to Oberberg Aktuell, the region is known for its dynamic economy and innovative companies that represent a wide range of industries - from traditional craft to modern technology companies. The strong presence of medium -sized companies is the backbone of the local economy, whereby these companies show remarkable adaptability and resilience despite global challenges.

development and investments in the region

The close cooperation between companies, local authorities and educational institutions promotes economic development. An example of this is the Bergisches resource smithy in Lindlar, which is promoted as an innovation location. 6.5 million euros flow into development. In addition, the 2023 urban development program provides for investments of 16.5 million euros for various development projects in the Oberberg district, including the qualification of the Jägerhof in Bergneustadt and the upgrading of Wilhelmplatz in Hückeswagen. Mühlenstraße is also redesigned in Wiehl.

A central concern is the creation of new anchor tenants in Gummersbach, where four million euros are invested in a forum. These investments are not only important for the local economy, because they create jobs and promote growth.

future prospects for Oberberg

The future of the Oberberg region will be shaped by digitization and sustainability. Companies see opportunities in the areas of renewable energies, e-health and digital education technologies. The combination of local commitment and global perspective is recommended to support investors. Global stock markets offer additional investment options, with strong focus on diversification and risk management.

The funding program of the federal-state community task "Improving the regional economic structure" (GRW) aims to support structurally weak regions. The reforms of 2022 attach particular importance to the creation of jobs, combat location disadvantages and the promotion of a climate -neutral and sustainable economy. These initiatives are of enormous importance for the local economy and complement the efforts of the city of Wiehl and the Oberberg district in the creation of a robust business network.

Another business meeting in Wiehl is planned for the second half of 2025, which underlines the continuous struts of the city to drive the economic development in the region and create a space for innovation and cooperation. The first business meeting was an important step in the right direction.
