Dear business owners, dear readers,
First, the good news: We can look forward to a recovery in the German economy and, consequently, to growth benefits for the local economy. Economic indicators have finally shown a positive trend again in recent months, albeit starting from a low base.
With an eye toward long-term development, we in Ludwigsburg County are working on our future strategy to contribute to the transformation of our region. As part of our effort to streamline administrative processes, we introduced a unified tradespeople’s parking permit in the district effective September 1, which provides a practical solution for the entire industry. We are also creating new platforms for information and exchange specifically for small and medium-sized businesses. Find out in this newsletter what other opportunities will be available in the Ludwigsburg district over the next few weeks for young and established companies, as well as for skilled workers.
