About us

EUREF AG is a project developer specialising in energy- and environmentally optimised real estate and new working environments. The company was founded by Reinhard Müller in 2007 in connection with the acquisition of a 5.5-hectare site surrounding the historic Gasometer in Berlin-Schöneberg.

Within just one decade, the site was developed into the EUREF-Campus Berlin, a leading innovation and technology hub for the energy transition. Numerous companies – many of them young and growing – as well as research institutions from the fields of energy, mobility, climate and environmental protection have established themselves here. Since 2014, the EUREF-Campus Berlin’s thermal energy supply has been CO₂-neutral, meeting Germany’s CO₂ climate targets for 2045 ahead of schedule. As a real-world laboratory and event venue for the energy transition, the EUREF-Campus Berlin has also gained international recognition and attracts around 70,000 visitors each year.

In 2024, EUREF AG opened a second EUREF-Campus in Düsseldorf, the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, located at Düsseldorf Airport’s ICE railway station.
