It was with great pleasure that we welcomed Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, Minister for Economy, Labor and Tourism of the State of Baden-Württemberg, and EU Commissioner Nicolas Schmit to our offices last week. The meeting provided an excellent opportunity to discuss economic development and the employment situation in the region.

Baden-Württemberg as a center of innovation

Baden-Württemberg has established itself as a European center for innovation and technology. With a robust industrial base, first-class research facilities and a vibrant start-up scene, the region is ideally positioned to be at the forefront of the mobility and technology revolution.

Framework conditions and responsibility

For Baden-Württemberg to maintain its leading position, the framework conditions must be right. Continuous efforts toward innovation and progress are needed. “While we look back on a successful visit, we are aware of the responsibility that lies ahead. Our goal is to keep Baden-Württemberg at the forefront of technological development. For a sustainable and innovative future – here in our home state”.
