Hafven - eine der größten Innovation Communities im deutschsprachigen Raum.

LPs or CDs, colour TV or Grimme prize: Many major media innovations were conceived in Hannover.

But that’s not all. Hannover is where innovative magazines like Spiegel and Stern were founded, where the most advanced TV broadcasting systems are at home, and where innovative headphones and microphones are developed. And Hannover has a vibrant theatre scene. It’s also home to Germany largest opera, and even Germany’s only clown school. The list could go on and on...

Clearly the Hannover region has always provided fertile ground for creativity, but that hasn’t always been properly linked with all the innovations and creative developments mentioned above. And their economic importance for the area has often been underestimated.
