Hanover Center for Production Technology (PZH)

Manufacturing technology has long been a staple of the Hanover region. From research and production to traditional machine and tool manufacturing and technical services—Hanover is a leading hub for the manufacturing industry both nationally and internationally. Close ties between academia and industry ensure continuous innovation and practical developments.

The scientific hub is the Hannover Center for Production Technology (PZH). The production technology institutes at Leibniz University Hannover, numerous industrial companies, and young technology firms work and conduct research here under one roof in a space spanning over 20,000 m². This physical proximity fosters the exchange of knowledge and enables efficient collaboration between research and application.

Startups and young companies in the industry can rent office and workspaces at the PZH Startup Center on favorable terms. At the same time, they benefit directly from the latest research findings and can make the most of synergies.

The PZH is thus strengthening Hannover as a hub for innovation in the long term and providing ideal conditions for the development of cutting-edge technologies in manufacturing engineering.
