Space for Innovation – Promoting Robotics as a Key Technology

Space for Innovation – Promoting Robotics as a Key Technology. The Hannover Region has long ceased to be an insider’s tip as a hub for robotics—quite the opposite. From project funding at schools and universities to support for startup teams and initiatives for skilled workers in the field of robotics. Together with strong partners from business, science, and government, we are bringing “Robotics City Hannover” to life.

Robotics City Hannover – the brand under which robotics activities from the Hannover region converge. On our platform, we provide information about a wide variety of initiatives, events, and key players in the multifaceted field of robotics. As a network, we also pool diverse expertise to actively advance activities in the Hannover region together.
