The "Scottish-Bavarian Tech Mission to Munich" aims to strengthen the innovative power of the two participating regions, Scotland and Bavaria, through exchange. Leading technology startups from both Scotland and Germany presented their projects and products at Münchner Technologiezentrum (MTZ), followed by a discussion.
Also present was the Scottish Minister for Business, Innovation and Energy, Paul Wheelhouse, who was enthusiastic about both the participants and the venue, the Munich Technology Center, which is also the headquarters of the Munich company Verso Through collaboration with industry, but also with universities and the public sector, Wheelhouse hopes to
“significantly increasing economic advantage for both Scotland and Bavaria”,
said the Scottish Minister.
“This is the right way”
"Our vision is to work towards a more sustainable society across all national borders. Therefore, we believe it is absolutely crucial to engage with countries like Scotland and understand their challenges,"
said Verso co-founder Florian Holl. Also co-founder Andreas Maslo finds the Bavarian-Scottish network important and right.
"We personally regret Brexit very much. We are all the more pleased that Scotland and Bavaria are now increasingly striving for strong cooperation and developing synergies; that is the right path,"
Maslo concluded.
