Chancellor Merz visits Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: meeting with Schwesig!

Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) is making a stop in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania next week. On Tuesday, November 3rd, he will be received by Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) in Schwerin. This inaugural visit could breathe new life into the region, not just politically but also economically.

As part of his visit, Merz will take part in a cabinet meeting and then make planned press statements. The press will certainly be eager to hear what he has to say about the current political challenges and his government's strategy. His path then takes him to a medical technology company in the city.

A look at Ypsomed

A visit to Ypsomed, the leading company for infusion sets and injection devices for diabetics, is on the agenda. The company is based in Burgdorf near Bern and has been producing in Schwerin since August 2019. With around 500 employees in the region, Ypsomed has big plans: by the end of the decade they plan to double the workforce to 1,000, which should represent good business for the local economy.

In addition, manufacturing capacity is to be increased from the current 200 million to 400 to 500 million pens annually. There is enormous potential here, which not only increases the number of employees, but also strengthens the entire region.

Travel through the federal states

Merz will not only visit Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but will also stop in Schleswig-Holstein on Monday. This shows his intention to build closer relations with all parts of northern Germany. At a time when people are expressing a desire for less bureaucracy and more support for local businesses, this trip could be a step in the right direction.
