A strong partner for enterprises

Whatever the topic of concern for small and medium-sized enterprises in North Rhine-Westphalia – we are their strong partner. We support them in all financing-related matters – with promotional loans, equity finance and comprehensive, provider-independent and free promotional advice.

As the promotional bank for North Rhine-Westphalia, we focus, for instance, on measures related to sustainability and digitalisation, which are important quality and competition factors. NRW.BANK promotes the corresponding investments across all sectors and thus supports ideas and innovations that strengthen environmental and social sustainability in NRW and accelerate digitalisation.

We need more affordable housing in NRW, which is why we support the NRW Ministry of Construction as well as rental housing investors in creating affordable housing and upgrading neighbourhoods in North Rhine-Westphalia.
