Olaf Lies: Lower Saxony relies on change as an opportunity for the future!

At the first Lower Saxony transformation summit, which took place today in Hanover, Prime Minister Olaf Lies emphasized the need to see changes as opportunities. In his opening speech, he emphasized that the country is facing profound changes in the areas of technology, economy and society. Lower Saxony would like to actively shape these changes and sees them as an opportunity to further strengthen the location.

Lies emphasized that Lower Saxony's strengths lie in agriculture, the automotive and chemical industries and in its role as a “gateway to energy”. The country's goal is to be “a little bit better tomorrow than today.” A number of key factors are crucial for this, including the availability of clean, independent energy, a strong industrial base, excellent research landscapes and the determination to act together.

Discussion topics and future strategies

A central concern of the summit was the topics of energy transition, digitalization and artificial intelligence. The simplification of procedures was also discussed as an important aspect. The results of the summit should be incorporated into the country's transformation process in order to set the course for the future.

The event represents an important step for Lower Saxony to be able to successfully meet the challenges of the coming years. Minister Lies appealed to all those involved in business, politics and research to prepare for the changes together and to develop innovative approaches that will ensure the location's competitiveness in the long term.
