New start-up center in Hanover: Tech-Factory Nordstadt takes shape!

Nordstadt, Hannover, Deutschland - Region Hannover is planning an ambitious new project: the construction of a start -up center, which is known as the "TechFactory Nordstadt". This center is to be created on the site of the Nordstadt Clinic and will serve to offer technology-oriented start-ups, especially from the areas of natural sciences, computer science and electrical engineering, a suitable infrastructure. The focus is on innovative topics such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and biotechnology. This reports haz.de .

Department of Economic Affairs Ulf-Birger Franz (SPD) has taken responsibility for the establishment of the tech factory and emphasizes the advantages of this situation through the proximity to the university. It is optimistic that the combination of university and start -up center will lead to strengthening the local economy and innovative strength. The late information from the Hannoimpul's business development agency was surprised by the plans, which caused anger with the business director Anja Ritschel (Greens). However, the regional assembly has already approved the plan for the technology campus, whereby the close coordination with the city of Hanover is planned.

planned infrastructure and costs

The project provides for the division of the site into around 25,000 square meters, where laboratories, offices and gastronomic offers are to be integrated in the future. Costs of around 25 million euros are planned for the development. The Hanover region will provide a capital contribution of 1.7 million euros in 2025, followed by annual investments of 2.5 million euros each in the following years. This is promoted by the Technology Park Region Hannover GmbH, whose management takes over Dirk Felsmann. The first clinic buildings are expected to be added to new use from the end of 2026, while by 2034 all ten buildings that are no longer required are to be integrated on the area. In addition, the development of the technology campus is viewed as an expansion to the existing technology park on the mechanical engineering campus in Garbsen, which will be twice as large with a circumference of 200 million euros, but is realized by a private investor.

The integration of the city of Hanover into business development and urban planning is a central part of the strategy. Particular attention is also paid to the participation of the North District Council for the planning of the outdoor facilities. In addition, the citizens' initiative "Make Bumke yourself" has registered a need for conversation, which indicates a growing interest and commitment of the citizens regarding the project. The clinic area, which formerly belonged to the city of Hanover, is used as part of the "medical strategy 2030" for the tech factory. Cooperation with Leibniz University is another building block to support outputs in the relevant specialist areas.

conclusion and outlook

The TechFactory Nordstadt could become a central place for innovation and founding spirit in Hanover in the coming years. Due to the strategic location near the university's main campus and the intended close cooperation between science and business, the project promises to become a magnet for young entrepreneurs and creative minds. In addition to financial support, the future success of the technology campus will also depend on the acceptance and active participation of the residents.
