We are creating new opportunities for growth on both sides of the Atlantic.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>gwSaar&#8217;s CEO Thomas Schuck: \u2018Saarland has a lot of medium-sized companies that are currently operating or seeking to operate on an international scale. We want to support them. With this memorandum, we are expanding existing transatlantic collaborations and creating new markets for contact, cooperation and ultimately sales. This will benefit both companies in both Saarland and the USA.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>This memorandum of understanding will ramp up collaborations between the two states\u2019 economic promotion bodies in the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For <u>trade and marketing strategies<\/u>, this will promote collaborations in future-oriented industries such as the life sciences, aviation and artificial intelligence, as well as increasing networking for companies in these sectors \u2013 both between Utah and Saarland, and between the USA and Germany as a whole.<\/li>\n<li><u>Investment promotion<\/u> will focus on production, logistics, information technology, energy and innovation, as well as on sharing information on investment projects and partnership opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>In terms of <u>information and technology sharing<\/u>, this will support collaboration, exchange and cooperation projects between universities, research institutions and technology-oriented companies.<\/li>\n<li>There will also be collaborations relating to the <u>labour market and education<\/u>, e.g. with educational partnerships and exchange programmes, and in the field of <u>tourism and culture<\/u>, e.g. by supporting tourism promotion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This will be achieved through regular consultation between the partners involved and by establishing project groups tasked with enabling cross-border networking, information transfer and knowledge sharing between the relevant sectors and companies.<\/p>\n<p>The American business delegation arrived in Germany on Sunday (19\/04).
