Stuttgart loses visionary: Grieb goes to Frankfurt!

Bernhard Grieb, the head of the Stuttgart municipal economic development agency, is leaving the state capital after three years and will become the new managing director of the Frankfurt am Main economic development agency from January. His last day of work is December 17, 2024. Grieb emphasizes that this step is not a decision against Stuttgart, but rather a search for new challenges. In Frankfurt he will play a key role in positioning the city as an international economic and financial center. “It's a much larger dimension than in Stuttgart,” said Grieb, speaking of the attractive opportunity for personal development. This information comes from the Stuttgart News.

Mayor Dr. Frank Nopper praised Grieb's performance in Stuttgart and emphasized that the collaboration was always trusting and constructive. Under Grieb's leadership, important accents were set in the areas of start-ups and innovation. “We are reluctant to let him go, but we would like to thank him for his great commitment and wish him much success in his new responsibility,” said Nopper. Grieb is optimistic about the changes he initiated during his time in Stuttgart and is convinced that they have created sustainable structures that will continue to exist in the future. The city of Stuttgart reported that the transition to the future management of the economic development department will be regulated in the coming weeks on their official website.
