SMART TRAFFIC
How will we get around in the future? Ideally faster, safer, increasingly equally – and with less emissions. Startups and transport companies are already using digital tools and AI to optimise urban mobility for everyone.

PHOTO CITY DÜSSELDORF
Last November it was finally confirmed: the German Photo Institute is coming to Düsseldorf. The plan is to establish a photography centre of excellence in a city that can not only look back on a long tradition of this art form, but also has a lot to offer on the entrepreneurial side.

FRESH IDEAS FROM DÜSSELDORF
The right idea at the right time: probably the most decisive aspect for a successful startup. But for a strong idea to really become a strong company, more is needed. Experienced partners, for example, who provide impetus and pave the way. Since 2020, the Startup Unit of the Office of Economic Development Düsseldorf has been supporting young founders on their way to entrepreneurship. And apparently quite successfully, because the startup scene on the Rhine is booming. Around 500 startups are currently providing fresh ideas and modern solutions in Düsseldorf – across all sectors.The three companies we are presenting to you today also come from the most diverse sectors: an app for better language skills, a fast and flexible logistics service provider, and a legal tech company that aims to make „getting justice“ easy. And yet the stories of the three show how similar the impulse to found a company usually is: it is the strong will to create a new solution for a problem in your own field.
