Internships
The state of Hessen provides unique opportunities for internships.
Located in the heart of Europe, Hessen is one of the strongest economic regions of the continent and is indeed the strongest state economy in Germany. It is home to a broad range of industries with a strong international presence. Examples of international companies with a base in Hessen include e. g. Amazon, Canon, General Motors and Philips. Adding to the international base of the city, the continent's major air traffic center, the Rhine-Main airport, contributes to the importance of the region on a global scale. Further, Frankfurt am Main plays host to the German Federal Bank (German Bundesbank) and the European Central Bank which makes it a central hub for over 400 other major banks, making Hessen Europe’s prime financial center. The city also features the largest Futures-Stock Exchange worldwide and multiple international trade fairs and conventions. By consistently investing in new technologies, Hessen has also become one of the most important European locations for high-tech business.
