Prof. Dr. Michael Heuken, Vice President Advanced Technologies
Why is Rheinisches Revier the ideal location for AIXTRON?
First and foremost, it's the connections to science at the RWTH Aachen University and the Jülich Research Center.

And, to put it simply, it's just a beautiful place to be.
How is the cooperation with the authorities progressing?
Cooperation with the local authorities is very important to us and it's going very well. Everyone here is interested in ensuring that AIXTRON continues to be successful.
Why should semiconductor companies invest here?
For the same reasons we did. Companies here enjoy excellent connections to research institutions, direct access to well-trained scientists, and it's also a very diverse area.
