International Neuroscience Institute (INI)

With more than 65,000 employees and upwards of 3,000 companies, the healthcare industry is Hannover's no.1 growth market. The region offers world-class expertise in a range of research disciplines, and is home to internationally recognised institutions such as Hannover Medical School, the International Neuroscience Institute and Hannover University of Veterinary Medicine. Hannover Medical Park and closely integrated research and university work help to drive innovation and growth.

Hannover's healthcare industry is booming. One in seven employees in the region already works in this field, making Hannover a fertile breeding ground for new companies or for successful company relocations. Healthcare is therefore Hannover's most promising future industry. High levels of scientific expertise in fields such as clinical research, for example, have enabled the region to assume a leading role, and Hannover is also a recognised player in regenerative medicine, biomedical engineering and healthcare delivery.

Many of Hannover's scientific and research institutions enjoy international renown and provide a first-class playing field. Hannover Medical School (MHH), for example, has made a name for itself as one of the world's leading medical establishments.
