Hope for Intel: High-Tech-Park secretly plans alternative investors

In Saxony-Anhalt, the long queue on the construction of the planned high-tech park Magdeburg without Intel without Intel causes unrest. Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) recently emphasized that a "Plan B" was not necessary, while Managing Director Ribbe from High-Tech-Park GmbH is considering more realistic plans if the chip giant Intel does not invest in the region. Ribbe said that the settlement of an alternative investor was quite possible because the location has already established itself internationally.

The hope of Intel remains. Ribbe emphasizes that a deletion of two years is "not acceptable" for the start of construction. The plans for necessary infrastructure measures, such as water supply or the substation, should be clearly defined immediately in order not to cause unnecessary costs. "It's all a black box," says Ribbe, who criticizes uncertain future perspectives.

hopes and uncertainties

The managing director currently collects offers from other companies, but wants to exclude rapid refinancing through the sale of areas. "It is crucial to build up a value chain that is characterized by highly qualified workplaces," says Ribbe. This quality is important for the sustainable success of the high-tech park. Despite the uncertainties about Intel, Ribbe hopes for consequent statements about the cooperation with the company, which should clarify in a very short time whether it will actually invest in Magdeburg in the original or reduced form.

The conclusion remains the open question of how the plans for the high-tech park develop, while alternative employers also vie for attention and talent. The slow procedure ensures a pressing need for clarity for everyone involved. Further information about this topic can be found on www.mdr.de are read.
