EDITORIAL

O
          ur ideas and visions for developing the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald
          have proven to be weatherproof. Behind them are facts, projects totalling
          approximately 270 million euros – and new ideas.
It is fundamentally correct to assume that the location of our district between Berlin,
Szczecin and the Baltic Sea offers an almost unlimited potential for development,
which will unfold on several levels: economical/touristic, population growth, and as
a model region, in which new co-operations between metropolitan and rural areas
are taking place in exemplary ways. These levels are directly interrelated and mutually
dependent, which should increase their dynamism. It is also appropriate to focus more
on existing companies and their needs. After all, they form the base from which we
operate.
We firmly believe that these developments are not simply quantitative in nature, but
that, driven by climate change and the associated social pressure, they will take place
relatively quickly and must be innovative and, above all, sustainable. For us, this means
that environmentally friendly recycling and recovery technologies will become more
important, tourism will change into high-quality ecotourism, and immigrants to the
district will predominantly be recruited from the highly qualified immigration potential,
with which Berlin will face serious housing and transport problems in the medium and
long term if our rural areas are not included as problem solvers.

Along these themes we will experience profound processes of change and growth.
And we are privileged with being able to shape them!

WHAT KEPT US BUSY IN 2019

W
           e have completed the process of setting up and consolidating the FEG.
           Our six-member team is complete, technically well equipped and, above all,
           highly motivated.
Our philosophy is simple but efficient. We use regional, national and international
networks and develop them in a targeted manner. Our paths are always direct.
No detours. We measure ourselves by innovation, sustainability, persuasiveness and
success. Our office – 100% digital. Our goal – to transform the region‘s image into a
top European location.

This year, we paid particular attention to seven topics:
1. Our “Lasst uns Berlin größer denken” [Imagining a larger Berlin] campaign with
   Tagesspiegel caused a sensation not only in the capital.
2. We have been marketing the Berlin-Szczecin Industrial Park intensively in Germany
   and increasingly also in Poland for months.
3. The 4th BioÖkonomieKonferenz in Anklam was the first to be held under the aegis
   of the FEG. With 11 nations represented, it was more international than ever before.
   A complete success.
4. In the tourism area, we were able to set a very special accent with the residential/
   tourism/coworking/arts/recreation project in Altwarp and made good progress with
   our hotel projects in Ueckermünde and Penkun.
5. We have considerably strengthened our contacts with existing companies in the
   region in order to support them as problem solvers in a wide range of topics.
6. Talks with German and international investors have reached a new level in terms of
   quantity and quality. Our region is becoming significantly more attractive.
7. The VG.2050 strategy process has begun. We are the first district in Germany to
   undergo such a process. We are accompanied by the world-renowned think tank
   ARUP Foresight. We will present the results in summer 2020.

We want to develop the region and ourselves. We are enthusiastic about what is
achievable. And we enjoy success. 2019 was a very important year for us in this respect.

       TOP EUROPEAN LOCATION –
       READY FOR 2050
       Its proximity to the cosmopolitan city of Berlin and the Polish metropolis
       of Szczecin make the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald a top European
       location. We are the only district in Germany to have launched a strategy
       process together with the think tank ARUP Foresight. With 14,000 em-
       ployees in 92 offices in 40 countries, ARUP has unique expertise in the
       fields of innovation and sustainability. The FEG has initiated the process
       and will accompany it with the district and a steering committee until
       mid-2020. We are interested in the global megatrends and their impact
       on the region. We want to identify our potentials and understand what
       steps we must take today in order to make targeted use of them by 2050.
       ARUP’s presentation at the 22nd Torgelow Business Symposium in June
       provided a foretaste.

PARTNER FOR BERLIN

The district of Vorpommern-Greifswald and Berlin, cosmopolitan city
and place of longing for creative people, are not at eye level. Yet both
need each other – we need the dynamics and impetus of Berlin, Berlin
needs us as a space for expansion. Berlin is rapidly growing. Affordable
housing and traffic are already burning issues. The FEG is therefore the
objective of designating settlement areas in the district of V-G. Berliners
who are looking for a place with a high quality of life for their family ins-
tead of a permanent party will find it with us. We have raised awareness
of this issue among politicians and the housing industry.
Two major reports in the Tagesspiegel helped to achieve this. In 2020,
the topic will dominate the public discussion. Fast Internet and the
world of Work 4.0 are the key!
PROJECTS

       BERLIN-SZCZECIN INDUSTRIAL PARK

       Marketing of the Berlin-Szczecin Industrial Park has entered its critical
       phase. A company from the Stuttgart area is about to purchase the land.
       The industrial park is now attracting international attention. Poland is a
       very important marketing focus. We are currently negotiating with two
       companies; interested parties from Switzerland have also scheduled a
       site visit. Thanks to the support of the state and district, the development
       is running at full speed.
       The website www.industriepark-berlin-szczecin.de has been online
       since June. The message is clear: unfold your business!

INNOTEC FOCUSES ON NEW PRODUCTS

The Vorpommern Innovation and Technology Offensive (INNOTEC)
kicked off excellently. The first Innovation Day at the Torgelow Iron
Foundry on 24 October brought together 20 companies from the region
and highlighted how much companies can benefit from the know-how
of our project partner ATI Küste - Gesellschaft für Technologie und
Innovation [ATI Coast - Society for Technology and Innovation] when
it comes to new competitive products, patent protection, markets,
promotion and networks. The project volume currently amounts to
approximately three million euros. 15 companies are involved, and two
more Innovation Days are planned in Wolgast and Barth.
We will take stock at the end of 2020.

                                                                        Presentation of the grant notice by

                  THE BILLION DOLLAR MARKET

                  The global restructuring of the economy into a closed loop and recy-
                  cling economy looms on the horizon. A market worth billions. The
                  BioÖkonomieCluster Anklam (Suiker Unie, Anklam Extract, Taraxagum
                  Lab/Continental AG) has the best chances of being at the forefront of
                  this development. The 4th BioÖkonomieKonferenz, which for the first
                  time was led by the FEG and supported by a broad network of partners
                  (Chamber of Commerce and Industry Neubrandenburg, Greifswald
                  University, BioCon Valley, Witeno GmbH and others), showcased the
                  region‘s potential: 200 guests from 11 nations, an international youth
                  workshop on sustainability, bio-economy dinner, industrial exhibition
                  and far-reaching impetus for the Regional Innovation Strategy.

                         WELCOME TO SZCZECIN LAGOON

                         Germany is a country of immigration, though not every district is
                         affected equally. However, Vorpommern-Greifswald is becoming
                         increasingly popular with newcomers and is one of the clear winners in
                         the process of demographic change. Nothing could be more obvious
                         than to accompany such a process with an active welcome culture and
                         to help steer it decisively. With the help of the state, the district and
                         ABS gGmbH Greifswald as the operator, we managed to establish

PROJECTS

       WOLGAST SEEKS ITS WAY

       Is ‘Herzogstadt’ the right advertising message? Of course not. Like
       Anklam, Wolgast must face up against the strong tourist location on the
       island of Usedom and create unique and distinctive offers of its own.
       The FEG is working closely with the new Wolgast city management and
       is accompanying the city’s mission statement process as an advisor and
       moderator. We have brought experienced and successful partners from
       Hamburg on board and are supporting the establishment of an unique
       interactive diorama museum that will generate a similar appeal as the
       Ikareum in Anklam.

PROJECTS

INSIDER TIP FOR THE HINTERLAND

Tourism isn’t limited to the island of Usedom. The Vorpommern hinter-
land is now up-and-coming! Together with partners from Hamburg and
Berlin, we are currently developing a 23-hectare site on the Szczecin
Lagoon into a sustainable place for housing, tourism, coworking,
education, art and recreation. We will continue to actively market our
Schlossinsel resort project, Penkun. The hotel resort in Ueckermünde,
a 40 million euro investment, is on the home stretch. A tourism concept
for the Vorpommern mainland has been launched. And we are working
on implementing a concept to expand the Lagoon Sail into an interna-
tional sailing event. The hinterland is pushing forward!

ISRAEL

                 Israel may be small in size, but it is a giant when it comes
                 to innovation, high tech and start-ups. Our business
                 contacts in Israel have steadily expanded. They now
                 include start-ups, venture capital companies and high-
                 tech groups such as Israel Aerospace Industries. We have
                 been in contact with an Israeli government-certified
                 company in the field of closed-loop and recycling
                 management for months. The aim is to set up a produc-
                 tion plant in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald.
                 A site visit to Pasewalk took place in November.
                 Discussions will continue in February 2020 in Israel.

                                          SWITZERLAND

                                          Just like southern and southwestern Germany, Switzerland too faces
                                          challenges: there is hardly any industrial and commercial space left,
                                          and square metre prices and regulations of all kinds are extremely high.
                                          This makes northeastern Germany increasingly attractive to investors.
                                          Together with Minister of Economics, Harry Glawe, and Invest in Meck-
                                          lenburg-Western Pomerania, we held numerous talks with Swiss investors
                                          in Zurich in October. A renowned company came to Vorpommern for
                                          site visits just a few weeks later.
                                          The Swiss were amazed by the qualities of the location and enthusiastic

WHAT WE HAVE PLANNED FOR 2020

Nothing about business development is quick. Most projects extend over several years
before they are crowned with success. Some even fail. And so, we will continue to
focus on nearly all topics from this year in 2020 - such as the VG.2050 strategy process
with ARUP Foresight, the major tourism projects, the development of the Szczecin
Metropolitan Region and the acquisition of investors.
In 2020, these four topics will be particularly important for us:

1. Marketing of the Berlin-Szczecin Industrial Park will take on a new quality now that
the location analysis and the creation of marketing instruments have been completed.
Infrastructural conditions will be created rapidly and Invest in MV and FEG will further
intensify their cooperation. The FEG will systematically acquire investors in Poland and
will use and expand its networks to achieve this.

2. The BioÖkonomieCluster Anklam is to be further strengthened. Together with the
companies Suiker Unie, Anklam Extract, Taraxagum Lab/Continental AG, Enzymicals
AG and others, we want to help new products and processes achieve breakthroughs,
making use of the federal funding programmes. Our regular BioEconomy Breakfast is
the perfect platform for this. We are actively seeking new collaborations for new
sustainable projects and products in the fields of energy, biomass and the environ-
ment.

3. The cooperation with Berlin will be officially discussed for the first time in April at a
top-class conference organised by the FEG and the Tagesspiegel in Berlin. The focus
here is nothing less than a medium and long-term regional development strategy that
will help to solve the problems of the cosmopolitan city and rural areas alike. An exciting
and highly innovative task with enormous potential.

4. Even more than in 2019, our focus will be on existing companies in the district of
Vorpommern-Greifswald. What are their issues, where might we be useful as partners
and possible problem solvers? We see it as one of our central tasks to bring new
business and portfolio management into a good balance.
