Hessen’s convenient location at the very heart of Europe has played a vital role in establishing the state as one of the most internationally revered business and technology centers in the European Union.
And while location is certainly a major decision-making factor for expanding businesses, it’s only one of many reasons why over 13,000 global players have selected to locate their subsidiaries in Hessen. As a global hub for forward-thinking industries such as information and communication technologies, electrical engineering technologies, life sciences, health care, automotive, electromobility and Industry 4.0, Hessen truly is the ideal “Gateway to Europe.”
Japanese companies have long recognized the benefits of setting up a presence here. As the economic powerhouse of Germany, Hessen offers excellent business networks, future-oriented technology partners and a high quality of life. Within Germany,
international companies can rely on a robust economy, a high degree of legal certainty, competitive corporate tax rates and a stable yet flexible labor market.
