Growth Areas and Promising Branches
Future oriented business development, attractive industrial real estate, a central location in Europe, sophisticated communications systems and a qualified workforce – those are only five of the location factors which attest the growth potential of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's economic structure is modern and efficient. Today traditional economic areas such as agriculture or tourism are already looking at the demands and markets of tomorrow. In addition, numerous new companies in industrial growth areas such as the wood and automotive industries, the aerospace industry, off-shore wind energy, plastics processing as well as call centres have settled here.
The economy of the state along the Baltic Sea draws on the natural resources it is richly endowed with. Organic farming, new environment technology and soft tourism contribute to the protection of nature and the environment – an ideal pre-condition also for a booming health industry. Products from the local food industry, another future branch, enjoy consumer confidence.
Innovation is the future. With exactly that in mind many technology-oriented companies have settled in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in recent years. The universities and other research institutes outside universities are their mainstay. Key technologies made in MV can be found in many areas, as for example in environment technology, biotechnology and medical engineering or information technology. Within the scope of the state's plan to promote its location, technology-oriented companies are purposefully aided. Furthermore, in the founding phase many technology and founding centres offer favourable start-up conditions. Companies receive additional support through networks and initiatives such as BioCon Valley or Scan Balt. They assist in the development of new international markets and facilitate synergy effects.
