On September 10, we had the great pleasure of welcoming Wiesbaden’s mayor and head of economic affairs, Christiane Hinninger, together with her advisor Eva Dick, to boTec in Wiesbaden. The visit was an good opportunity to exchange ideas and learn first-hand about boTec’s opportunities and challenges as part of Wiesbaden’s tech community.
Industry in Wiesbaden – The Role of the Industrial Advisory Board
As Head of the Department II for Environment, Economy, Equality, and Organization, Mrs. Hinninger is strongly committed to strengthening Wiesbaden’s economic base. In her role as Chair of the Industrial Advisory Board, she has been working for years with relevant stakeholders such as industry, chambers, universities, trade unions, and associations to strengthen Wiesbaden as an attractive and future-oriented industrial location.
This long-term commitment is crucial for ensuring competitiveness and supporting industrial transformation.
IT-Tech in Wiesbaden – The Role of the WITech Alliance
In the context of the WITech Alliance – Wiesbaden’s tech economy network – we discussed
how boTec and other IT companies are helping to strengthen Wiesbaden as an innovative and sustainable business location.
The WITech Alliance was initiated in March 2024 by the Department of Economy and Employment and has since been actively developed by Deniz Bayramoglu. It connects local technology companies and strengthens Wiesbaden as an innovative and sustainable tech location.
boTec has been a founding member since day one and actively contributes to building a strong local network that fosters collaboration and innovation.
