Business structure:

• Highly modern production firms and skilled trade/craft business have settled along the banks of the river Weser. Companies from the aerospace industry are just as at home here as logistics providers, seaport transhipment firms, shipyards or traditional craft enterprises. In addition, in lovely countryside before the city gates of Bremen, Oldenburg, Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven and near the emerging Jade Weser Port, innovative and creative service companies are finding the necessary space for their imagination here and an ideal location for their places of work.
• The agriculture consists of grassland farming (dairy and cattle farming).
• Tourism is another significant economic and locational factor (with approx. 1 million overnights stays a year). The North Sea, the healthy air and lovely countryside are highly appealing for the guests in the region called the “land by the water”.

Infrastructure:

• Seaports and freight railway stations in Nordenham and Brake
• International airport in Bremen
• Motorways A27, A28, A29
• Federal trunk roads B74, B211, B212, B437
• Weser Tunnel: Enterprise zones within the district of Wesemarsch include two attractive commercial estates in Nordenham and in Stadland, both close to the Weser Tunnel.
• Further top commercial estates can currently be found in Jaderberg, Brake, Elsfleth, Lemwerder and Ovelgönne.

Universities, colleges and trainings:

• University of Applied Sciences in Elsfleth: nautical science, maritime transport and port industry, International Transport Management and Integral Port Management. A ship navigation simulator rounds off the spectrum.
• The proximity to the universities in Wilhelmshaven, Oldenburg, Bremen and Bremerhaven presents a broad range of options for innovative studies and cooperations.
• Centre for education and training: professional college, full-time vocational school, technical school, technical college, preparatory vocational training, specialised college of higher education for nutritional science.
