Hanover – the prime location
for your start-up
We have a lot to offer for start-ups
We are not only UNESCO City of Music and a location for global concerns and international trade and industry fairs, we also have a lot to offer for start-ups:

4Dmagic
We drove out to the ‘Yachthafen Hannover’ – not to watch the boats sail by, but to visit two entrepreneurs who are working hard on the success of their recently founded enterprise 4Dmagic – Dynamic Entersalement GmbH & Co. KG – with a view of the water and a great deal of passion.

From professional musician to inventor
Some ideas are born when a wonderfully simple solution to an everyday problem comes to you in a flash. This certainly applies to Fidlock, a developer of magnetic-mechanical fasteners that can be conveniently opened with one hand, save time and score extra points for their high level of security.

The recipe for success: healthy and delicious ‘Fast Food’
Any one who says you need years of experience in the gastronomy segment to open your own shop selling healthy and delicious food, can learn a lesson from love.it.healthy. Here, regionally-sourced products meet fresh recipes – and the result is excellent food of all kinds.

The machine that comes to the components
A mobile machine tool increases efficiency in the production of large components. This offers enormous advantages in the automotive and aerospace industries and the mechanical engineering segment.

Connox
We were wondering what’s been going on in Hanover’s e-Commerce segment. To find out, we decided to pay a visit to Connox in Hanover’s city centre – one of the market-leading online stores in the home design segment.

Barbecue 2.0: Perfectly grilled – by app control
Convenience, safety and mobility – and the deliciously smoky flavour so typical of barbecued foods: The benchmark was set high for the barbecue grills made by Grillson – but the outcome was crowned with success. The model they came up with was a world’s first – a barbecue grill with app control.

Mundus – the world of cupcakes, cream cakes and biscuits
Eghlima Kiaei has a masters degree in biomedicine. So you wouldn’t really expect her to have launched a start-up baking American-style cupcakes. But she was so taken by the little round cakes on a trip to America that she decided to turn her passion into a business.

Studio Dreimann
In the meantime, the three friends and product designers, Jonas Ette, Simon Kux and Timm Prigge, have been the brains behind Studio Dreimann in Hanover for the past four years. Their clean and functional design approach already earned the Good Design Award in 2012 and has been honoured twice with the Interior Innovation Award.
