Regionalmanagement Nordhessen GmbH

The northern Hesse Region has meanwhile taken up an excellent position in the international competition for locations. It lies at the heart of Germany and is a top location for the mobility industry while becoming an innovative logistics hub, think tank and technology driver for the energy turn - around, highly specialised healthcare location and at the same time, one of Germany’s most attractive hilly regions. Numerous global market leaders such as Viessmann, B. Braun, SMA, Volkswagen, Continental or Amazon give the region a globally attractive profile. And lesser known SME companies that play just as successful a role in international business also make a major contribution to the story of northern Hesse’s success. They are expert suppliers, develop new products and processes and use their regional knowhow. After all, the region also offers an excellent research landscape with close cooperation between universities, user centres and business related research institutes together with an exciting start-up scene. This success was not apparent from the start. Even at the turn of the millennium, the region’s new position at the heart of Germany still offered lots of potential that remained untouched.

 

The Regional Management was set up to make better use of this potential. Its Shareholders are the City of Kassel, the five rural districts in northern Hesse together with the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the Chamber of Skilled Crafts and the association Pro Nordhessen. Since then, it coordinates the central activities to boost growth and employment in northern Hesse. In this shared framework, the political and business sectors pursue the joint aims of expanding and effectively marketing regional expertise in the clusters for mobility, decentralised energies, ICT, healthcare and tourism. Networks and cooperation forums have initiated numerous new projects and business transactions, including the Logistics Academy, the METAKUS application centre, the shared umbrella brand called GrimmHeimat NordHessen or the strategic promotion of start-ups with 400 new businesses and 2,000 jobs. In future too, the focus will continue to be on working together to develop innovative projects. One particular example here consists in the self-supporting expansion of a fibreglass network for northern Hesse as the largest project of its kind in Europe.
