Note Since 2015 the IHK-Forum Rhine-Main covers the nine IHK
districts of Aschaffenburg, Darmstadt, Frankfurt am Main,
Gießen-Friedberg, Hanau-Gelnhausen-Schlüchtern, Limburg, Mainz,
Offenbach am Main and Wiesbaden.
FrankfurtRhineMain In the RhineMain region 7.9 % of the German
gross value is generated. The Hessian part of the region realises a
staggering 78 % of the gross domestic product of the federal state
of Hessian. These numbers emphasise the status of
FrankfurtRhineMain as – according to European standards – one of
the most important metropolitan areas of Germany.
There is also no lack of international flair: four European
institutions are based in the region. More than 2,500 companies
from China and the United States alone have settled here. This is
not least due to the excellent inf- rastructure of the region. At
12 international schools, students can obtain an internationally
accredited degree. With over 1,300 flight movements a day,
Frankfurt International Airport contributes much to the outstanding
accessibility of the metropolitan area for both business travellers
and tourists. Ideal conditions, therefore, for businessmen and
commuters.
On top of that, FrankfurtRhineMain offers a number of cultural
sites, national and international museums and tourist attractions
which are visited by almost 13 million people each year.
* FrankfurtRhineMain includes the districts of the Chambers of
Commerce Aschaffenburg, Darmstadt, Frankfurt am Main,
Gießen-Friedberg, Hanau-Gelnhausen-Schlüchtern, Limburg,
Rheinhessen (Mainz), Offenbach am Main and Wiesbaden.
