The city's business development department is the central point of contact for business issues. It sees itself as a caretaker and guide for companies and is available as a competent point of contact. The Economic Development Agency offers needs-based advice, brings decision-makers together and establishes contacts with external service partners.

Hanover's business promoters also help companies with relocation and change requests, as well as the search for suitable office and commercial space. They offer companies urban spaces and, if necessary, also look for suitable alternative locations.
