Häring CEO, Dr. Jürgen Häring, spoke about the regional economy’s innovation and initiative that effectively tackles tomorrow’s challenges.
The business sector also relies on the support of politics: "The business sector can only be secure if everyone works together - society, the economy and politics. We rely on good training, continued education, and the new industrial study program from the Heuberg industrial campus in order to make the region more attractive for young junior staff and, of course, we are happy if we find support here ", says Häring.
Minister Dr. Hoffmeister-Kraut expressed her willingness to talk and appreciated the input from the companies: "Baden-Württemberg should remain innovative and economically strong while simultaneously keeping their high quality of life. {...} Understandably, there is much uncertainty about how the upcoming changes will affect market and employment. There are not only risks, but also opportunities, provided we make them active and successful. Our strategy must be clearly focused on innovation. {...} Through visits and communication, politicians can receive important information and momentum to properly shape the framework conditions for Baden-Württemberg.
