"Diversity is the order of the day here - there is variance in topics, projects and networks. I was able to quickly gain a foothold at Business Metropole Ruhr and grow with my tasks and responsibilities. It's nice when you can also give something back to the company with your input and thus contribute a little bit to shaping the future of the Ruhr region."

"The reason I applied to BMR was the topic of hydrogen. It appealed to me to contribute to the market ramp-up in the hydrogen model region Ruhr Metropolis. I had hoped that I would be able to do this in a great team, but of course I didn't know that. That makes me all the happier to be part of BMR."
