In Europe as abroad, the JadeBay Region is becoming an investment hotspot and developing into an internationally significant hub for logistics and energy. The existing structures provide the ideal basis to complement the maritime cluster. Wilhelmshaven, the regional centre of the JadeBay Region, is regarded as the prime to establish new industries. Here, the economic landscape is characterised by industry and Germany's major oil transhipment port, together with a wide variety of service enterprises (in particular in the IT sector), trade and commerce. Innovative businesses in the manual and production sectors have been established along the River Weser. Companies from the aerospace industry are also located in the JadeBay Region, as are logisticians, seaport transhipment companies, shipyards and traditional firms in the manual sector.
