The Baltic Sea Business Day in Rostock was a success. For the first time, companies and stakeholders from different sectors of Germany, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and all democratic Baltic Sea States came together in a new network. I am pleased about the great interest from Germany as well as from the Baltic Sea States with more than 400 participants. The previous good relations in the Baltic Sea region were strengthened and networks further expanded. This became particularly clear in the intense exchange of participants in the workshops, the StartUp fair, in the cooperation exchange and the get-together in the evening. We will organize the Baltic Sea Business Day regularly every two years in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and are looking forward to having the 2nd BSBD in 2024
, said Minister President Manuela Schwesig.
