Chancellor Merz visits Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Important decisions are pending!
Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) will travel to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania next week to make his inaugural visit. This is reported by the South German newspaper. On Tuesday he will be received by Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) in Schwerin before he takes part in a cabinet meeting.
His visit is not only a symbolic act, but also represents targeted impulses for the region. After the cabinet meeting, press statements from Merz are planned, which will certainly attract great interest. His visit to the medical technology company Ypsomed in Schwerin will be particularly in focus.
Ypsomed: An example of innovation
Ypsomed, a family business with roots in Burgdorf near Bern, has made a name for itself in the industry as the market leader in infusion sets and injection devices for diabetics. Merz will get an on-site impression of the extensive production capacities that have existed in Schwerin since August 2019 and already employ around 500 people. The company's goal is to increase manufacturing capacity to 400 to 500 million pens annually by the end of the decade and to double the number of employees to 1,000.
This company visit illustrates the relevance of medical technology for the regional economy and underlines the Federal Government's intention to promote investments in innovative companies in the future. Merz, who will also travel to Schleswig-Holstein this week, has a good hand when it comes to strengthening the economic structure.
