Steinfurt District Business Breakfast

The Steinfurt Economic Promotion and Development Agency (WESt) and the North Westphalia Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) have been taking turns organising the Business Breakfast in the Steinfurt district for many years. The aim is to bring together entrepreneurs, senior managers, business owners and authorised signatories from the region over a hearty breakfast, to encourage the exchange of ideas and information, and to forge valuable contacts.

A varied programme of events with a regional focus

The business breakfast ‘tours’ various companies in the Steinfurt district, giving participants fascinating insights into different sectors and working environments. This variety not only opens up new perspectives, but also provides numerous opportunities for networking and exchanging ideas.
