Bioenergy site in the countryside.
In the middle of the Altmark region in the district of Stendal is one of the largest contiguous industrial and commercial areas in Saxony-Anhalt - the center of excellence IGPA. With the most modern pulp mill in Europe, Mercer Stendal is one of the local global players as well as an integral part of the local "green energy": Mercer Stendal produces bioenergy based on solid biomass. The energy source is the biogenic parts of the wood that cannot be used for the manufacture of material bioproducts. This supplies the entire energy-intensive production process with electrical bioenergy and thermal energy.
Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences is known far beyond the borders of the state for its innovative teaching policy and is an important local partner. One of the university's priorities is to attract international students to its educational programs and to promote close links between science and business in the district of Stendal. The innovation and start-up center BIC Altmark GmbH Stendal provides scientific and economic impetus in the district of Stendal.
