The share of the purely manufacturing industry in added value is shrinking at an extraordinary rate in Hesse, but nowhere else are industry-related services growing so strongly.
The Initiative Industrialism Hessen has therefore set itself the goal of increasing the location bond, strengthening Hesse as an industrial location, and developing Hesse into a model state for intelligent networks in industry and services. Because without a dynamic industrial core there can be no successful service sector. Conversely, these industry-related services are part of industrial added value. And it is precisely this industrial services network that needs to be promoted, for example by:
- A clear orientation towards more innovation and export;
- The support of further cluster formations in sectors and regions;
- A seamless connection to the German government's high-tech initiative.
The location needs the close cooperation of the industrial economy with the political framework – not an industrial policy planned economy, but an alliance of economy and politics in favor of dynamic locational development.
Partners are the Initiative Industrialism Hessen and the combination of the hessian corporate associations.
