Scotland and Germany have launched a new investment and innovation hub/office based in Berlin – this is part of a wider network of facilities in London, Dublin, Brussels, Beijing and Washington DC. The Glasgow and Berlin Chambers of Commerce have signed an agreement to increase collaboration and opportunities between Scottish and German organisations. The new Hub is intended to promote investment between businesses, increase Scottish/German governmental influence and engagement, and encourage collaboration between business, research, education and cultural institutions. Government Opportunities has a fuller story, and read Politico’s earlier post on the trade ties, the EU and Brexit.
