Discussion on Hamburg's Future Features Interview with Jenne Wendt
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has certified the Hamburg Metropolitan Region as having the potential to lead globally in renewable energies, following a comprehensive study conducted in 2019.
The OECD's report highlights the strategic location, infrastructure, and skilled workforce of Stade, a city within the region, making it an attractive prospect for economic settlements focused on renewable energies and green hydrogen. Stade's proximity to ports, established industrial base, and regional support for green technologies foster innovation and investment in these sectors.
The OECD recommends strengthening cross-border cooperation to achieve this goal, a call that extends beyond major cities to include smaller cities like Stade. One of the key initiatives in this regard is the Competence Network IWP, which includes five hotspots for renewable energies and green hydrogen, located in Heide and Geesthacht (Schleswig-Holstein), Wismar (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania), Stade (Lower Saxony), and Hamburg-Bergedorf.
Jenne Wendt, project manager for location development in Stade, will discuss the planned initiatives and what makes Stade an attractive economic location for renewable energies and green hydrogen in the upcoming Future Hamburg Talk. More information about the Competence Network IWP can be found on the metropolregion.hamburg.de website.
However, the article does not provide specific economic benefits of Hamburg Airport for the metropolitan region, nor does it offer new information about the planned initiatives for Stade, the upcoming Future Hamburg Talk, or the project manager Jenne Wendt. Additionally, the article does not mention a co-working space in Schwerin or provide any information about a skills shortage in the context of renewable energies or the Hamburg region.
The Hamburg Metropolitan Region's focus on renewable energies and green hydrogen is part of a broader global energy transition, a shift towards sustainable and clean energy sources. This transition is crucial for addressing climate change and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
In conclusion, the Hamburg Metropolitan Region, with its strategic location, infrastructure, and skilled workforce, is well-positioned to become a global leader in renewable energies and green hydrogen. The OECD's recommendations and the establishment of the Competence Network IWP are significant steps towards achieving this goal. Stay tuned for more updates on the planned initiatives for Stade and the Hamburg Metropolitan Region as a whole.
