In order to exercise as required by law, the regionally important task of economic promotion, the VRS founded together with other Stakeholders the die ''Wirtschaftsförderung Region Stuttgart GmbH (in 1995).'' Besides the recruitment and the guidance of companies which want to locate in the Stuttgart Region (Exogenic economic promotion) the about 50 employees of WRS consult and assist within the scope of site development already locally based companies (endogenous economic promotion). Besides the classical economic promotion in the narrower sense (e.g. through the marketing of industry sites, guidance of investors at their search for a location as well as location marketing) one focus is on the economic promotion activities of the Stuttgart Region and the Support of certain business clusters. Amongst others.: * Automotive industry and engineering * Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering * Energy and Environmental Engineering * Information Technology (especially in the field of Open-Source-Software) * Health based economy * Aerospace Engineering * Cultural industry In order to support these Clusters, the WRS initiates, coordinates and mentors the WRS branch networks (e.g. the ''Clusterinitiative Automotive CARS'', the ''MedienInitiative Region Stuttg''art or the ''Initiative Open Source Region Stuttgart''), organises Symposiums (as for example the annual fuel cell congress f-cell) and gathers and publishes a variety of branch information. In order to promote the employer attractiveness of the regions small and medium-sized employers to the pupils, students and graduates, the Wirtschaftsförderung Region Stuttgart GmbH hosts an online Stuttgart Region employer directory.
