A region for the people

Over 6 million people live in the RegioTriRhena, two thirds are of employment age. Since 2010, the employment rate has grown from 79 to 81%. This is a region of economic strength, covering vehicle construction, tourism, service sectors and the life sciences, which all secure jobs and stable growth. It is also a region where people enjoy living, are above the average happy and in general earn above-average wages. This happiness is also shared with 22 million tourists per year who have registered overnight stays.

The future of Fessenheim

How can the shutdown of the atomic power station in Fessenheim lead to an innovation-driven region? Eucor – The European Campus and the “Cluster für Nachhaltigkeitsforschung am Oberrhein” (cluster for sustainable research in the Upper Rhine) presented a feasibility study with concrete investment possibilities at the end of 2021. In January 2021, the French state, the Region Grand Est, together with the State ministries from Baden-Württemberg signed a finance agreement over 800,000 Euro to support this project.
