  Kompetenznetze Aix-la-Chapelle
Comprenant la ville d'Aix-la-Chapelle et les "kreise" (circonscriptions) de Düren, Euskirchen et Heinsberg, la région d'Aix-la-Chapelle a connu, au cours des quinze dernières années, un processus de mutation qui a transformé cette ancienne région minière en un pôle de technologies avancées.
La région a identifié ses atouts et défini ses pôles de compétence qui se situent dans les sciences de la vie (techniques médicales et biotechnologies), les technologies de l'information et de la communication, les techniques automobile et ferroviaire, les techniques de production innovantes et les matériaux modernes.
La densité de pôles technologiques générateurs de solutions économiques et innovantes pour l'industrie et les services, et le nombre et le niveau qualitatif exceptionnels des jeunes diplômés des universités régionales, sont des facteurs d'attractivité déterminants.

The octagonal "chapel," from which the city is named, was built 796-804 and forms the nave of the cathedral; under its dome is the tomb of Charlemagne, which was found 1000 and contained his body imperially robed and seated on a marble throne.
Charlemagne's remains are now in the Hungarian Chapel, where are also preserved four great relics, exhibited every seven years: the Blessed Virgin's cloak; swaddling-clothes of the Infant Jesus; loin-cloth of Christ; and the cloth in which was wrapped Saint John the Baptist's head.
Aix was a bishopric, suffragan of Mechlin 1801-1821; it still has a collegiate chapter, with provost and six canons, and is a deanery of the Archdiocese of Cologne.
