Dear Readers,
Hessen has long been a center of development and progress – a state with a strong tradition of transformation and innovation. This quarter, we bring you three inspiring stories from Central Hessen that illustrate how industries are embracing change and driving the future.
In this issue, discover how the energy and pharma industries are strengthening their roots in our state while a novel bioeconomy business is preparing to plant new ones:
The Fritz Winter iron foundry – a long-standing leader in iron casting – is transforming its production in Stadtallendorf with a new hydrogen-based energy system – a project supported by Hessen to reduce emissions, boost energy independence, and drive industrial innovation.
GlaxoSmithKline is reinforcing Marburg’s deep-rooted tradition in vaccine production with ongoing investments in its Marburg facility aimed at boosting the company’s international production network and tapping into the region’s academic talent.
EntoSolutions and the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology are about to make Giessen a major hub for insect biotechnology with a novel large-scale operation that blends traditional farming methods with innovative circular bioeconomy solutions.
Our latest success story is also about planting and strengthening roots. Linesight, a specialized construction consulting service, established its German headquarters in Frankfurt and has flourished ever since. Learn why they chose Hessen and how they plan to expand.
Finally, I’d like to highlight our newest publication: HESSEN & FRANKFURT: R&D Landscape and Foreign Investment Practices. This concise report offers valuable insights into Hessen’s innovative strength and showcases key international companies capitalizing on our state’s vibrant R&D ecosystem.
I hope you find these updates as inspiring as I do and feel encouraged by the exciting progress in these important industries. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us if you’d like to learn more or have any questions about opportunities in our state.
