12 July 2009: ZENIT's 25th anniversary!

12 July 2009 marks the 25th anniversary of our company, ZENIT GmbH. Founded in 1984, our objective back then was to help the regional economy overcome the structural change from heavy industry to modern technologies and production-oriented services. Today, our overall mission is to stimulate innovation for our clients, technology-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises, clusters, research institutions and universities, so that good ideas are turned into good business - both at home and abroad. Europe is our priority: as NRW.Europa together with the NRW.BANK we are one of the largest nodes of the Enterprise Europe Network. This reflects the major changes of the last 25 years, with enterprises focussing their attention more and more on other parts of Europe. That is why ZENIT too has evolved from a regional centre for innovation support to a "European agency" offering a wide spectrum of EU-related consulting and information services. Today the three main pillars of our business are "Europe", "Funding", and "Technology and Innovation" and we regard ourselves as the first point of call in North Rhine-Westphalia for incoming expressions of interest.
