Hanover as a healthcare location

The areas of infection, transplantation, implants, hearing and digital health are particularly well represented in Hanover.

Most employees in the Hannover Region currently work in the health and social services sector (77,388). Hannover offers an extensive hospital landscape with large care providers. From the university hospital of Hannover Medical School (MHH) to one of the largest municipal hospital operators in Germany, Klinikum Region Hannover (KRH), as well as numerous other clinics, Hannover has developed into a major healthcare location.

As a strong insurance location, there is a direct link to cost bearers such as Techniker Krankenkasse, Kaufmännische Krankenkasse Hannover (KKH), Hannover Re and the Talanx Group .

We are home to excellent science at Hannover Medical School, Leibniz University and the University of Veterinary Medicine. These are complemented by the Laser Zentrum Hannover and the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine, as well as Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts and the universities of applied sciences. These institutions work together in multidisciplinary research facilities such as the NIFE , TWINCORE, the Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Center for Biomolecular Drugs (BMWZ).
