The Economic Promotion of the Rhine-Sieg Region and the Regional Bank (Kreissparkasse) in Cologne are together running a comprehensive qualification programme in the framework of the Rhein-Sieg Starter Academy, with information events, seminars and workshops for budding entrepreneurs and existing medium-sized enterprises.
