Thuringia conquers America: Voigt secures millions of investments!

Thüringen, Deutschland - Prime Minister Mario Voigt (CDU) and Minister of Economic Affairs Colette Boss-John (CDU) lead a 75-member delegation on a pioneering trip to the USA. The delegation trip that began on Sunday has the goal of strengthening economic relationships between Thuringia and the USA. The United States represent the most important foreign trade market for Thuringian companies. Voigt emphasizes the importance of the United States as an important non -European partner in economic, scientific and strategic terms. This trip marks the first delegation trip of the new state government.

With three clearly defined goals in view, Voigt traveled to the USA: First, he wanted to inspire investors for Thuringia, secure existing business relationships and finally make the Free State internationally better known. The Prime Minister sees his goals as achieved. A permanent investor from Washington has already planned to travel to Thuringia this year. However, details about the exact investments remain unclear, but the investor has an impressive investment volume of $ seven billion.

Strengthen economic relationships

The delegation met around 50 companies from the region in Boston to present the location advantages of Thuringia. These companies show interest in expansion to Europe or Germany. The State Development Society (LEG) will open a new foreign office in New York, which is scheduled to start operating in October. Andreas Krey, Managing Director of LEG, emphasizes the need for support from the medium -sized companies who traveled with us and announces the hiring of an employee who is supposed to act as a liaison between Thuringia and the USA. This office should not only maintain existing economic relationships, but should also be used for market exploration.

Overall, the trip describes a promising initiative for rediscovery and strengthening the economic connections between Thuringia and the USA. The opening of the new office in New York hopes to generate additional impulses for the Thuringian economy and make the region better known on the international market.
