The die has already been cast in Brussels and Washington for the new legislative period, with Berlin following pretty soon. 🌎 How will this change the dynamics in the global conflict regions - and in climate policy? How will the economic turnaround succeed? And above all, how can we manage to keep the maritime industry on the political radar in these times? 📋 Yesterday, Nele (Cornelia) Bruns, Christoph Lücke and Claus Ulrich Selbach from our SMM Hamburg team took part in the so called Parliamentary Evening, organised by the Verband für Schiffbau und Meerestechnik e.V. (VSM). Here, all the pressing questions were discussed by stakeholders of the maritime industry together with members of the German Bundestag in Berlin. It was a get-together filled with exchange between industry and politics - thank you for having us, VSM! 🤝 #SMMfair #HappyNewYear #DrivingTheMaritimeTransition Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH #TheIdealConnection #MarineIndustry
