Economic Development Agency Kassel
Key Competitive Attractions
Located right in the centre of Europe, the Kassel economic region's advantages are its centrality, excellent traffic connections and road infrastructure. The companies already located in the region focus on mobility and traffic engineering as well as environmental and energy technology. Kassel is also home to a large freight centre and an importan railway hub, with trains to major German and European cities departing every hour.
The Kassel region is also host to Industriepark Kassel, the largest business park between Frankfurt and Hannover. The Industriepark Kassel network offers opportunities for communication between local businesses, contributing to a strong business climate in the region.
The Competence Center Aerospace in Kassel Calden is a fairly new project, aiming to identify and cluster technologies relevant to aeronautics. This project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund EDRF and supported by local partners.
