Location
Location description¹:
Business location information is more than just figures.
Anyone looking to find a business location needs facts. By providing detailed location information, we create the foundation for sound infrastructure-based and entrepreneurial decisions. Location information includes hard indicators such as business tax rates, property rents and prices, purchasing power and similar figures just as much as it embraces information about soft factors that reveal details about the cultural and leisure offers available or the quality of life as a whole in the Hannover Region (a regional public and administrative authority created in 2001 covering the state capital Hannover and 20 municipalities).
Figures that count: once a year the Enterprise Office publishes its brochure 'Trends&Facts' (in German: 'Trends&Fakten') with a statistical overview of the Hannover Region. These data - and quite a few more - can of course also be found in our interactive business location system. If you are still missing any figures and information about Hannover as a place to live and do business in, we can also provide companies with market-relevant facts and figures on an individual basis.
