Hückelhoven is located in the western part of Germany close to the Dutch border. It is a small town which used to be populated mainly by miners before the anthracite coal mine "Sophia-Jacoba" was closed in 1997. The Gründer und Service Zentrum (GSZH) where SURFACE is located was founded in order to establish companies that work with advanced technologies in various fields.
The nearest airports are Mönchengladbach (25 km), Düsseldorf (55 km), and Cologne (75 km). Hückelhoven is connected to these cities by bus and/or train. The closest railway station is Hückelhoven-Baal. The most convenient transfer from Baal to Hückelhoven or to the Gründer und Service Zentrum (GSZH) is by taxi cab.
