EUREF-Campus Düsseldorf offers space for companies, start-ups and research institutions in the fields of energy, sustainability and mobility.
The potential for cooperation is enormous. All tenants and cooperation partners benefit from synergy effects due to the thematic focuses, short distances, on-site restaurants and community events.
Schneider Electric is a global specialist in the energy sector, particularly in the field of energy management and automation.
Schneider Electric will be the anchor tenant on the EUREF-Campus Düsseldorf with its German headquarters. Initially, 750 employees will work here; in the future, this number is expected to rise to more than 1,000.
Together with the other companies on the campus, Schneider Electric will demonstrate how a smart grid – an intelligent electricity network – works in real-life operation.
I am convinced that access to secure and sustainable energy is a fundamental human right. And at the same time, we all know that the way we use energy today is unsustainable. The EUREF-Campus proves that a solution to the energy paradox is already possible today.

H2 MOBILITY Deutschland GmbH & Co.KG is responsible for the nationwide establishment of a hydrogen infrastructure in Germany and is creating the basis for electric mobility without restrictions: short refuelling, long range, clean and quiet. There is no comparable entrepreneurial initiative worldwide that understands and promotes the introduction of an emission-free fuel as a national task. Shareholders of H2 MOBILITY are Air Liquide, Daimler, Linde, OMV, Shell and Total.
Hydrogen has what it takes to revolutionize our mobility in a sustainable way: because hydrogen means emission-free driving for all sizes – car, bus, truck or train. We are working on the appropriate infrastructure, also in Düsseldorf. We look forward to the important exchange with the many innovators on EUREF-Campus.

inno2grid GmbH is a joint venture of Schneider Electric and DB Energie. As consultants and project planners, we focus on the intelligent linking of mobility and energy. The aim is to combine new forms of mobility, renewable energy and digital services in a sustainable overall concept for residential, commercial and industrial locations – intermodal and CO2-neutral.
inno2grid will be the “mastermind” and “doer” in the real-life laboratory for new mobility, the NRW Mobility Hub, on the EUREF Campus Düsseldorf. Here, innovative solutions can be conceived and developed through the conception of digital campus services, tested in real-life operations, which can serve the state capital of Düsseldorf and the whole of North Rhine-Westphalia as a model for sustainable, digital business and operating models.
The EUREF-Campus Düsseldorf is a prime example of how we are building a modern neighbourhood in such a way that it “marries” mobility and energy via smart systems, and of how neighbourhoods will have to be planned from the outset in future.

With the Magrail system, NEVOMO is developing the next generation of high-speed trains, which can be successively developed into a vacuum-based hyperloop. With our technology, Magrail vehicles can reach speeds of up to 415 km/h on existing railway lines while running parallel to conventional trains.
With our innovative Magrail technology, we are helping to increase the competitiveness of the rail sector and give sustainable mobility a boost. We are therefore very pleased to intensify our work at the EUREF campus in the immediate vicinity of a large number of mobility game changers.

NRW.Energy4Climate is North Rhine-Westphalia’s new state-based organisation for energy and climate protection. As the central point of contact, it brings together all of its energy and resources in the four sectors with the highest emissions: energy, industry, heating and buildings, and mobility. Collectively, they account for more than 90 per cent of NRW’s greenhouse gas emissions.
The aim is to accelerate the transformation process across all sectors so that North Rhine-Westphalia can achieve its goal to become climate-neutral as quickly as possible while at the same time strengthening the region’s future position as a location for industry and services.
Protecting the climate is the most urgent challenge of our times. It is vital that we accelerate the transformation across all sectors so that NRW can take the lead in the energy transition and become climate-neutral as quickly as possible.”
