This strategic location creates opportunities for international partnerships, talent recruitment and collaboration with businesses, universities and research institutes across the region.
Industrial History
Innovation has always been part of Aachen’s identity. In Roman mythology, the “genius loci” represents the unique spirit of a place that shapes both its people and its future.
This spirit continued with electrical engineer Wilhelm Lahmeyer, who founded Garbe, Lahmeyer & Co. together with Heinrich Garbe in 1886. Their pioneering work helped establish Aachen as a centre for technological innovation.
Today, Kadans continues this legacy by transforming the historic site into a modern science cluster where companies develop next-generation battery technologies, advanced materials and sustainable energy solutions.
