Founded in 1998, the Measurement Valley association organizes the joint interests of three dozen regional companies and scientific institutions operating in the field of measurement technology.

A central goal of the association is to establish the brand "Measurement Valley" with its close connection to the university, scientific institutions and research facilities in Göttingen.

The name "Measurement Valley" is to be established nationally as well as internationally to become a synonym for competence in modern metrology. In addition to advertising, workshops and events, activities in the fields of technology, purchase, marketing, quality management and training are an essential part of the association’s work.

The main emphasis is put on the synergetic alliance of the member companies which results in a measurable benefit for each member. As a network of innovative companies and scientific institutions, Measurement Valley has become an integral part of Göttingen’s regional economy.
