The idea

The Initiativkreis Mönchengladbach was founded in 2003 by a handful of local business representatives.

By financing exceptional events they wanted to raise more awareness for their home town.

Today, there are as many as 32 individual members building the Initiativkreis. Their aim remains the

same: to maintain and cultivate the city‘s positive image and to shape the future of the region and

its infrastructure.

Driven by their common commitment, the Initiativkreis has set up a series of top events which

have been an inspiration for the city and the citizens of Mönchengladbach ever since 2003.

The Initiativkreis has definitely helped to improve the town’s image. As an ambassador the Initiativkreis

seeks to promote outstanding projects which have a unique and lasting influence on the region.

The goals: • Preserve regional characteristics

• Promote innovation

• Encourage investments by improving the region‘s soft factors

• Support measures in the area of youth, culture and science

• Improve the image of the city and the region

• Improve the infrastructure
