Network meeting for location communities 2023

It is not only the acute energy crisis caused by the war of aggression against Ukraine that has presented the economy and society with new challenges since February 2022: The necessary energy transition and ways to consume less energy or save energy will also be one of the biggest challenges for everyone in the medium and long term.

For this reason, an interesting event on this topic was offered to the location communities and their members right at the start of the year.

After the welcome address by Anja Ritschel, Head of Economic and Environmental Affairs of the City of Hanover, there were two specialist presentations:

• "How retail companies can now effectively save energy"
  Patrick Schütz, German Retail Association, Public Relations Manager
  Climate protection offensive
• NBank informs: "Economic aid Nds. for SMEs (energy costs 2022)"
  Martin Bartölke, Investment and Development Bank of Lower Saxony, Head of Consulting

Ms. Anja Ritschel was pleased to welcome more than 50 interested guests and led directly over to Patrick Schütz from the climate protection offensive.

He gave useful tips and tricks on the subject of saving energy and recommended getting an energy consultation.

Martin Bartölke presented the new NBank funding program and explained the funding requirements. With the "funding check", companies can quickly and easily check whether they meet the funding conditions.

After the presentations, there was, as usual, plenty of opportunity to talk to each other and exchange experiences among the location communities. The representatives of the business development agency were also available to answer questions and make suggestions.
