Company succession in Brandenburg: Chamber of Crafts and IHK strengthen the cooperation!

In Westbrandenburg, over 7,400 craft businesses and around 24,000 companies are faced with a pressing challenge: You must find suitable successors for the business management. This Situation, which affects many companies, has prompted the Potsdam Chamber of Crafts and the Potsdam Chamber of Commerce and Industry to sign a comprehensive agreement on company succession. President Robert Wüst from the Chamber of Crafts and President Ina Hänsel from the IHK emphasized the urgency of this cooperation in order to secure the continued existence of the member companies in the state of Brandenburg. As the Potsdam Chamber of Crafts clarifies on its portal, most of the entrepreneurs concerned are of advanced age, which increases the need for a succession plan, as explained in the report by the German press index.

To the efficient coping of this challenge, the two chambers have decided to continue proven formats such as the "Nexxt Night" and successor conferences and at the same time to develop new, regional formats. A cross -chamber access to existing offers for all member companies is also sought. This initiative is supported by the company's company's line of Brandenburg, which has been in force since 2020 and the successor center Brandenburg, founded in autumn 2024, promotes, as shown in a report by the Potsdam Chamber of Crafts. Wüst added that these measures are necessary to secure job and training positions in the region and to ensure economic stability.

In addition, the chambers encourage existing companies to check succession in their own ranks and to actively involve applicants for company takeovers. "The potential to take over established companies not only ensures jobs, but also enables a smooth transition to proven structures," says Hänsel. The situation in Brandenburg is therefore not only an economic challenge, but also an opportunity for those interested in start -up and potential to establish themselves in solid markets.

For further information about the initiative and upcoming events, the Chamber of Crafts Potsdam and the IHK Potsdam are available, which with this collaboration take an important step towards securing the future of their members. Further details can be found at Chamber of Crafts Potsdam .
