The Agentur für Wirtschaftsförderung (AfW) Cuxhaven, comprising a team of experts from, among other things, the areas of business administration, geology, geography, marketing, and tourism, focuses its efforts on covering a wide range of areas from commercial and municipal investment promotion and consulting, through development of economic sectors of importance to the city and district, to regional cooperation and initiatives to strengthen economic power and competitiveness. The AfW was able to achieve an enormous location profile in the offshore wind power industry in Cuxhaven. In cooperation with the state of Lower Saxony, the city of Cuxhaven has been able to establish itself as one of the leading offshore base ports since then.
Further expansion stages of the Cuxhaven offshore base are planned for the coming years.
