Scholz in Baden-Württemberg: Quantum computer and Würth anniversary in focus!

The Chancellor Olaf Scholz will be active in Baden-Württemberg on Tuesday, with two significant appointments that affect not only technology, but also entrepreneurial heritage. First, in the morning in Ehningen, a place in the Böblingen district, he will celebrate the opening of the first quantum data center of IBM. This technology represents a turning point in the field of computer science, since quantum computers work very differently than the conventional machines we know.

In a quantum computer, the principles of quantum mechanics are used, which make it possible to solve certain complex problems that can be extremely challenging for traditional computer systems. For example, they can be used to simulate complex chemical processes more efficiently, which is of great value in many industries.

visit to the "screw king" Reinhold Würth

After the appointment at IBM, Scholz will travel to the headquarters of the Würth retail group in Künzelsau in the afternoon. There he is given the honor of keeping a speech for the entrepreneur Reinhold Würth, who is known as a "screw king". The 89-year-old entrepreneur celebrates a very special anniversary: he can look back on 75 years of work. Interestingly, his career at the age of 14 started with an apprenticeship in his father's company.

After the death of his father, Würth took over the company at the tender age of 19 in 1954 and led it to impressive success. Today, the Würth Group has been an important player on the global market for many years and employs over 88,500 people worldwide, of whom more than 27,000 are active in Germany. With sales of over 20 billion euros in 2023, the company is one of the sizes in the industry and has established itself as a symbol of entrepreneurial success in Germany.

Scholz 'Visit to IBM and the celebration for Würth symbolize the close connection between technological innovations and traditional companies that lead to a sector of outstanding importance in Germany. These events are not only important for those involved themselves, but also have the potential to set new impulses for the German economy. Further information can be found at www.faz.net .
