Mayor Bovenschulte shows impressive EU funding projects in Bremen!

Sonnemannstraße 3D, 28239 Bremen, Deutschland - On June 25, 2025, Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte had the opportunity to visit three important facilities in Bremen: Hoppenbank e.V., the Helmut Schmidt School and the Transfer Center for Artificial Intelligence Bremen AI. The aim of this tour was to show the citizens of how the EU funding has a concrete effect in Bremen and improve the living environment of those affected there.

The project 'Integration Coaching Work and Health' of Hoppenbank e.V. In Bremen, this project offered individual support in areas such as career counseling, health care and search for accommodation around the clock. The whole thing is made possible by the European Social Fund and the state of Bremen, which shows that such initiatives are equipped with strong financial support. Interestingly, prisoners can even take part in certain offers, which reinforces inclusion and integration. Further information on this valuable project can be found on the website of Hoppenbank.

education as a key

The Helmut Schmidt School, as a certified European school with international orientation, relies on practical learning experiences. Through school partnerships with facilities in the Netherlands, Slovakia and Norway, school integrates European topics into class. A special highlight are the mobile-funded learning stays abroad as part of the Erasmus+program. Mayor Bovenschulte emphasized that such initiatives are particularly important in order not only to convey theoretical knowledge to the students, but also to give international experiences.

artificial intelligence for SMEs

Another stop led Bovenschulte to the transfer center for artificial intelligence Bremen AI, which focuses on the support of small and medium -sized companies (SMEs). The Transfer4KMU project increases networking and facilitates access to technologies of artificial intelligence. The aim is to reduce fear of contact and to develop marketable application scenarios. Here, too, EU funding plays a major role because it enables the implementation of such future-oriented projects.

But what about the inclusion of people with disabilities in this context? Around 87 million people in the EU live with long -term physical or mental impairments. Access to events, work or information is often difficult. Therefore, the EU plays an active role to improve the quality of life of these people. This is done by far-reaching strategies that are defined in the "Strategy for the Rights of People with Disabilities 2021-2030". The goal? To create equal opportunities on the different areas of life.

FAZIT

The mayor's visit once again illustrated how important support from the EU is for Bremen. Institutions such as Hoppenbank e.V., the Helmut Schmidt School and the Transfer Center for Artificial Intelligence are innovative ways to improve and promote the life of the life of many people. The role of the EU should not be underestimated in this context - it is actively committed to ensuring that all citizens receive the same opportunities in social life, regardless of their history or their skills.
