On the way to Europe's most modern biorefinery
"The BioEconomy topic offers enormous future potential for Saxony-Anhalt. With the first joint state appearance under the umbrella of the IMG, we have succeeded in creating a promising boost for the BioEconomy international location marketing for Saxony-Anhalt. We would be pleased if this could also be actively accompanied politically in the future. This way we could achieve an even higher impact together."
