Strong economy of the region

Food Valley District It has a strong economy. Business parks form an important pillar in this. About 45% of employment, approximately 75,000 jobs, is located in the industrial cities. Business parks provide much of the work, and more than half of the regional economy. In the past ten years, nearly 10,000 jobs have been added to the industrial cities. Employment growth is lagging behind in a number of industrial regions, in part due to a lack of space.

employment growth

Not only for the further development of enterprises, but also for home construction and power generation. It is important to find a good balance here.
