The two experienced business development experts were elected by the members of the working group and now represent the interests of the federal states at national and international level.
The AGWFB is a central platform for cross-state exchange, strategic cooperation and the pooling of common interests in business promotion. The focus is on close coordination with institutions such as the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWK), Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) and other relevant partners at federal level.
"I am delighted to have been elected as the new Managing Spokesperson of the AGWFB together with my colleague Thomas Horn," says Rolf Strittmatter, Managing Director of Hamburg Invest. "The working group offers a strong platform for dialogue between the federal states and enables us to shape the future of German economic development together. By joining forces, we want to contribute to further strengthening Germany as a business location in international competition."
With the new dual leadership, the AGWFB is emphasising its importance as a powerful network for economic policy cooperation across national borders.
