Landratsamt Rottal-Inn: Innovation in rural areas – Rottal-Inn county

The lovely county of Rottal-Inn borders on the eastern part of the MMR. The mot­­to of the economic policy is innovation in rural areas. One of the lowest unemploy­­ment rates in Bavaria is evidence of the sound structure of the economy, which is based on medium-sized businesses. It benefits, among other things, from the proximity to numerous large industrial companies of the automotive or chemi­cal industry. The favourable po­­sition near Austria and the Czech Re­­public encourages strong foreign trade relations. Bu­­si­­ness flights are possible at any time of the day or night due to the fact that the Eggenfelden airfield is ap­­proved for in­­strument-guided landing – an important location advantage. Ac­­ces­­sibility to the greater Munich area, par­­ti­­cularly to the airport of Munich, is also of central im­­por­­tance. Companies in­­ter­­ested in locating here find excellent con­­ditions: the ideal location in Central Europe, affordable commercial areas, proximity to uni­­ver­si­­ties, and highly qual­­ified and mo­­ti­­vat­­ed people. The Rottal-Inn county has made a particular name for itself in the field of renewable energies and innovative, award-winning environmental projects such as the cross-border geothermal en­­er­­gy pro­­ject with Upper Austria or the “Rot­­taler Sonnenwende” project, support­­ed by the EU and the Free State of Bavaria. The un­­spoiled nature and cultural landscape show the high quality of life.
