The energy transition is a powerful economic driver for the Hanover region. A study by DIW Econ shows that an ambitious energy transition by 2035 would result in additional investments of around €24.9 billion, €14.3 billion of which would directly benefit the Hanover region. This could generate around €9.5 billion in gross value added and create an average of around 4,100 jobs. Local budgets would also benefit significantly, with projected additional tax revenues of around €470 million.
Urban development funding has a variety of effects
DIW Econ conducted a study on behalf of DIE STADTENTWICKLER based on data from SOEP and the INKAR database. The study examined living conditions in urban development areas and the impact of subsidies on the construction and renovation of housing.

The economic impact of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin
Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin is much more than just one of Europe’s leading medical institutions. Treating almost one million cases annually, it is ranked sixth in the 2024 World’s Best Hospitals list. It sets standards in the field of high-performance university medicine and accounts for 30% of all intensive care capacity in the German capital. As well as providing excellent healthcare, Charité plays a leading global role in life sciences research and is considered a driver of innovation in medicine. With approximately 10,800 enrolled students and trainees, it is also one of the largest educational institutions in the region, making a decisive contribution in view of demographic change and the increasing shortage of skilled workers in the healthcare sector. But what concrete economic impetus does Charité provide for Berlin and beyond? How does it contribute to regional value creation? What role do research, teaching and knowledge transfer play in economic development?
Tourism as an economic factor in Hamburg – TSA 2019
Hamburg attracts many tourists thanks to its central location in Europe and its diverse cultural offerings. The aim of the study by DIW Econ in cooperation with TouristiCon and dwif was to calculate an update of the economic significance of the tourism industry in Hamburg for 2019 using the TSA system on behalf of Hamburg Tourism.
In addition to the tourism industry as a whole, the study also looked at the MICE segment, which consists of business-motivated tourists travelling for congresses, meetings, conferences, training courses, seminars, business events and incentive trips.
