Basis for Economic Growth in Germany
For the past twenty years, Hessen
has generated one of the highest
per-capita gross domestic products
(GDP) among Germany’s largest
states in terms of territory.
Hessen thus distinguishes itself
from other states by providing
stable growth, high productivity
and low unemployment. Hessen
offers strength and stability, which
give the investors decisive security.
The secret of the economic success
of Hessen is above all the
speed with which this German
state is able to adapt to changing
global developments.
Nowhere in Germany is the structural
change from an industrial
society to a service society occurring
faster than in Hessen. The
dynamic nature of this process
is seen particularly clearly in the
interfaces of these two economic
sectors: here, innovation is resulting
in completely new sectors and
areas of activity.
That means: in Hessen, the market
for key technologies of the 21st
century is growing disproportionately
fast, shortening innovation
cycles.
