Danish and German business promotion organizations are joining forces for a joint initiative at Europe’s largest trade fair for real estate and investments, Expo Real 2024, which will take place in Munich from October 4-7.
“We are delighted to have the unique opportunity to be part of Schleswig-Holstein's stand at the fair. This collaboration between the state and the Danish and German business promotion organizations allows us to promote a collective Fehmarn Belt region together. This partnership highlights the iron-will commitment to cross-border cooperation across the Fehmarn Belt to drive growth and development in the region,” says Stig Rømer Winther, CEO of Femern Belt Development.
Powerful Danish-German Cooperation
Femern Belt Development has participated in Expo Real for the past five years, but this is the first time such a broad and powerful Danish-German collaboration has been established at the fair.
The Danish participants at Expo Real 2024 include Erhvervshus Sjælland, Business LF, and Femern Belt Development.
The German partners are Wirtschaftsförderung Lübeck GmbH, Wirtschaftsförderung Kreis Stormarn, Wirtschaftsförderung Kreis Segeberg, and Wirtschaftsförderung Herzogtum Lauenburg.
Growing Interest in the Fehmarn Corridor
Femern Belt Development has positive experiences of participating in Expo Real.
“We specifically aim to establish connections with property developers and companies in the energy sector and renewable green energy production. It is difficult to specifically the measure of our participation, but we can see that contacts we made five years ago have since visited our area, explored the opportunities here, or even made investments,” says Stig Rømer Winther.
“And there is no doubt that interest in the entire Fehmarn Corridor will continue to grow in the coming years as we approach the opening date of the fixed link,” he adds.
