On August 26, our first CAMPFIRE stakeholder conference took place in the training room of YARA GmbH & Co KG. The aim of the event, to which the CAMPFIRE partners invited numerous stakeholders from state politics, was to present the activities of the CAMPFIRE Alliance of the North-East Region with development lines and goals, as well as an initial exchange with stakeholders on the planned establishment of the CAMPFIRE gAG. We were also particularly pleased about the participation and presentations of the partner consortia of the IPCEI application HYTechHafen Rostock and the planned Research Factory MV with subsequent discussion on synergies and connecting points. We thank all participants for the very lively and constructive exchange and look forward to working together.
