Embrace the Tide of Change: Lower Saxony's Transformation Agenda
Seize alterations, view them as prospective advantages - Deceptions: Perceiving alterations as probable chances
Hey there! Step right up and let's delve into Lower Saxony's approach to dealing with the erupting changes in the economy, work, and societal landscape. Ol' Olaf Lies, the SPD's Minister President, wants you to embrace this transformation like a stormy sea rides a surfboard. Speaking at the inaugural Lower Saxony Transformation Summit in Hannover, he trumpeted, "We're dealing with some hefty changes - technological, economic, and societal."
Lower Saxony sees this wave as a golden opportunity, Lies undeniably declared, and the region's got some hefty strength to tackle it. Ag, the agriculture sector, and the auto and chemical industries are the foundation, while the "gate to energy" squeezes in for good measure.
The objective: "Let's aim to be a smidge better tomorrow than we are today."
"We've got the clean, independent energy, a solid industrial base, stellar research lands, and the classic Lower Saxon grit to work together – that's why we've all got a shot at making lemons out of these changes," the head honcho declared. The plan is to shape this transformation so that folks in the state feel secure and know they're gunna be better off tomorrow than today.
The summit gathers regional politics, scientists, and biz folk to gab about topics like the energy transition, digitalization, artificial intelligence, and streamlining processes, with the findings contributing to transforming the entire blasted state.
