This optimal interface of the different
forms of transportation ensures
extremely fast distribution of commercial
goods throughout Europe.
To provide timely delivery of goods
within Germany or in Europe, many
new, high-performance logistics
centers offer their services. Cargo
City Süd at Frankfurt Airport, the
logistics companies in the vicinity
of the airport, the distribution
centers in eastern Hessen, and
the merchandise transport center
in Kassel demonstrate the uncontested
geographic advantage of
doing business in Hessen.
With its excellent communication
networks, Hessen also offers frictionless
data transfer of digital
information. Nearly all major
telecommunications service providers,
carriers, and data transmission
companies have sites
in Frankfurt. 85 percent of total
German and 28 percent of European
web traffi c is handled in Frankfurt
via the Internet node DE-CIX.
Furthermore – thanks to the possibility
to access 11 independent
fi ber-optic networks – Frankfurt
occupies a top position in the
international ranking of Hub Cities.
