The region Northern Germany includes Schleswig Holstein, Hamburg and Mecklenburg Vorpommern.

Schleswig-Holstein is the most northerly German state bordering Denmark and with access to both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The state is well connected internationally, with Hamburg airport within an hours drive.
The high-tech sectors, instrumentation and control and optics, as well as printing and publishing are represented more significantly in Schleswig-Holstein than in any other states.

Hamburg is Germany's second-most populous city after Berlin. It is located in the North of Germany and has developed an international reputation for its impressive high-growth technology industries.
Hamburg has taken a leading role in a number of promising sectors; advanced maritime technologies, multimedia, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical technologies, industrial micro-electronics, transport technology and aerospace.

The growth in the city's media sector has been astounding, leading to Hamburg's title as Germany's media capital.

Nearly 50% of service-sector workers are now employed in the media business in publishing houses, advertising and PR agencies, radio and TV stations, film companies and the recently established multimedia and telecommunications service providers. Five of Germany's top six publishing houses have their headquarters in Hamburg and 20 of Germany's biggest advertising agencies.
In total over 3,500 international companies have located in Hamburg, including Panasonic, Olympus, Sharp, Omron, Citizen, Hanjin Shipping and Bank of China, Philips, Siemens, Daimler-Benz Aerospace and Bertelsmann.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is located in the North of Germany. The two biggest German cities, Hamburg and Berlin, and 25 million customers in Northern Germany alone can be reached from the region in less than four hours.

The region is growing in economic terms as the infrastructure is being transformed to state-of-the-art and the most modern in Europe. German Telekom alone has invested more than DM 4.5 billon since 1990 in updating the telecoms network. Road and railroad networks, sea ports, power stations and airports are also being improved.
