Visit by the WiRO delegation to the Surface Technology trade fair

IFO and QUBUS were once again in attendance at Surface Technology in Stuttgart last week. The event featured numerous technical discussions, extensive networking and lively exchanges with both existing and new customers. 

A particular highlight was the visit by a delegation from the East Württemberg Regional Economic Development Agency (WiRO). Frank Schüle, Head of Environmental and Occupational Safety, spoke with WiRO Managing Director Nadine Kaiser and the Mayor of Schwäbisch Gmünd, Christian Baron. The discussion focused on the changes taking place in the region and current challenges such as energy prices, transformation and geopolitical risks. 

Face-to-face interaction on site remains a key driver for collaboration, securing a skilled workforce and technological advancement.
