What do we do

The Metropolregion is working on the basis of work programs (MAP 2011 and MAP 12-13) which were in each case adopted for the period of two years. The new program Metropolregion zusammenwachsen was established in September 2015 with a term of five years.

The Metropolregion Hannover Braunschweig Göttingen Wolfsburg is committed to the four topic areas “Transport and Electric Mobility”, “Energy and Resource Efficiency”, “Culture and Creative Industry” and “Health Economy”. The Metropolregion Hannover Braunschweig Göttingen Wolfsburg is one of the most important regions in Europe concerning the deployment of electric vehicles and the use of renewable energy. The cities and districts of the Metropolregion decided to cover their energy demands for electricity, heat and mobility completely from renewable energy sources until 2050. In this context, several model projects of the city-country-cooperation have been initiated. Since 2015, the project EnerKlim is monitoring the effects of climate change on the generation of renewable energies.

The Metropolregion Hannover Braunschweig Göttingen Wolfsburg is promoted by the Federal Government and the Land Lower Saxony as a showcase for electric mobility. The association Kommunen in der Metropolregion is carrier of the Amt electric which is promoting the development of electric mobility and the deployment of electric vehicles. The Antenne Métropole is part of the network of the Institute français in Germany. The Metropolregion GmbH is carrier of a presentation taking place on the annual fair EXPO Real in Munich. The Metropolregion is cooperating with French and Spanish municipalities and institutions in the development and deployment of electric vehicles.

The better transport lounge of the Metropolregion promotes sustainable transport concepts on international fairs and congresses. Together with the better transport forum the Metropolregion is organising an annual international knowledge exchange about the role of metropolitan regions in the field of electric mobility.
