Innovative <strong>Niedersachsen</strong>!<br />

Visionary <strong>for</strong>ce is one of the strongest economic drivers. <strong>Niedersachsen</strong> has always<br />

lived by this <strong>for</strong>ce <strong>and</strong> with the absolute determination to find new answers to the<br />

urgent questions of our age. Our aim is to set innovative trends <strong>for</strong> the future which<br />

have international appeal. <strong>Niedersachsen</strong> is already well-known <strong>for</strong> this <strong>and</strong> this is why<br />

we are sticking to the same course.<br />

The future-oriented sector of wind technology has its roots on <strong>Niedersachsen</strong>’s<br />

North Sea coast. Back in the early 1990s <strong>Niedersachsen</strong> committed to wind energy,<br />

assumed a pioneering role in this sector <strong>and</strong> today manufacturers from across the<br />

world purchase wind power components <strong>and</strong> systems “Made in Germany”. Worldwide<br />

Germany lies in third place in terms of wind power installations. This is a success story<br />

that we can also recount about other industrial sectors in <strong>Niedersachsen</strong>.<br />

For instance the chemicals industry in North Germany has excellent credentials.<br />

“stade-project 2021” <strong>and</strong> “Deltal<strong>and</strong>” are two development projects which are providing<br />

further growth prospects <strong>for</strong> the locations of Stade <strong>and</strong> Bomlitz in <strong>Niedersachsen</strong>.<br />

International chemicals groups including Dow, Honeywell <strong>and</strong> Ineos are very well<br />

positioned in <strong>Niedersachsen</strong> <strong>and</strong> are also supported by an excellent infrastructure.<br />

Innovations <strong>and</strong> activities from these <strong>and</strong> other economic sectors are clear<br />

demonstrations of the desirability of <strong>Niedersachsen</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>eign direct <strong>investment</strong>s.<br />

In September the international automotive sector will come together in Hanover <strong>for</strong><br />

Fair in Wolfsburg, both of which are leading international trade shows <strong>for</strong> mobility,<br />

transportation <strong>and</strong> logistics. The latest trends <strong>and</strong> innovations, future-oriented technologies<br />
