This month’s edition of Wirtschaft Im Südwesten highlights southern German regional industries like Global Clearance Solutions (GCS) who are investing in their workforce, building innovative technology-led solutions from as diverse fields as transport and logistics, energy supply, food industry and medical care.

Oehler explained: “The situation in Ukraine is very treacherous”, noting that GCS are still active in #Iraq.
