Taking action today to shape the future of the Hannover economic region. That’s the focus as the Hannover Region, together with the state capital, presents its key topics at the Expo Real real estate trade fair in Munich. The agenda is extensive: in addition to strategic and partnership-related issues concerning business location, the design and future of the city center, and ideas for housing construction, the Hannover Region is focusing on the two technology parks in Garbsen and Hannover’s Nordstadt district. Two new technology campus areas are being developed there, which will make Hannover a central hub for innovation in northern Germany; planning is continuing to move forward.
