To give “airea” even greater international visibility and promote it as a joint economic region on global markets, the Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG (MFAG), the Saxony Trade & Invest Corporation (WFS), and the Investment and Marketing Corporation Saxony-Anhalt (IMG) have agreed upon extensive cooperation in the End of May. The partners want to tap their potentials for attracting investors and new business setups even more effectively than has been the case so far, and they also want to promote themselves as a joint economic region both across state borders and on international markets.
“We’re pooling our knowledge and expertise, and we’re using synergy effects for the promotion of united economic regions. That’s a win-win situation both for ‘airea’ and for investors and companies putting down roots in the area around Leipzig/Halle Airport,” says Thomas Horn, Managing Director of the WFS. In the Central German region, the focus is already on the production and use of renewable energies. Accordingly, there is already a great deal of expertise in these areas. For the airport region, Götz Ahmelmann, CEO of the Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG forecasts superb dynamic growth. “Thanks to this cooperation, existing value creation chains will be expanded even further and new innovative enterprises will set up their businesses here.”
