Network development
Network development involves actively strengthening and expanding the existing network further. To foster our relationship with companies and the relevant stakeholders, we organize regular events where these groups can come together to network and exchange ideas.
Another goal is to support the foundation of a professional and independent platform with a focus extending beyond the region.

As someone whose job it is to foster economic growth, I find it really fascinating how an industry of the future can develop dynamically and shape a region. I want to do my part to ensure that companies and start-ups are able to develop in the best possible way.
