Service Team Economic Development

Networks - and service as a matter of course

Competition is one side of entrepreneurial cooperation - collaboration is the other. Where strong networks are effective, successful growth is programmed. In Hof and the region, the local companies know this and cultivate close cooperation in specialized networks. And when it comes to funding or financing, the city's business development department knows the what and the how.

Its connections to the Free State of Bavaria, to the licensing authorities and to all relevant agencies benefit the company - regardless of whether it is a new settlement, an expansion or any other change. The Economic Development Agency sees itself as a customer-oriented service center and the first point of contact for the business community. Service for individual companies is a top priority. Joint projects are initiated and fields of competence are expanded. Networks between universities, research institutes and technology partners as well as the players in labor market policy are established - for the economy and with the economy.

In the course of settlement and investment project management, the business development department offers support and guidance for all upcoming tasks - quickly, competently and reliably.
