Welcome to the Technology Region Aachen!
As a regional economic development agency, we are supporting companies, industry and services free of charge for a period of more than 40 years, in Start-up & Innovation, Economic Development,Business Networks & Location Information and Inward Investment in order to strengthen the Technology Region Aachen.
AGIT is embedded in a region with numerous scientific institutions, such as RWTH Aachen University, Aachen University of Applied Sciences, FH Aachen - University of Applied Sciences, or Forschungszentrum Jülich. These ideal conditions offer the players in the Technology Region Aachen an ideal breeding ground for future developments in and around future technological topics. These are the best prerequisites for advancing technology transfer between universities and industry and increasing the required start-up activity of the Aachen economic region in order to keep it competitive or to further optimise this position. It is precisely at this interface that AGIT, including its participations and memberships, would like to play a central role.
The AGIT team works for the City of Aachen and the StädteRegion Aachen, the district of Düren and the district of Euskirchen.
