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.
