Support with foundation

Promoting the economic development of a region has many facets. One important factor is young, innovative companies, which is why we are happy to take you by the hand in your start-up. The first step towards your success is our start-up consultation, which we offer you free of charge, just like all the other steps. Together with partners from different fields, WiFöG pursues the goal of dynamic growth in which we cooperate in an unbureaucratic manner. For example, we cooperate with chambers, professional associations, offices and ministries. In this way, we have built up a powerful network over several years, which you can use for your business at any time. In addition, we have created powerful tools to combat the shortage of skilled workers. The digital commuter post, the seal for family-friendly employers and the Food Academy are among the tools that the Südwestmecklenburg Economic Development Corporation has been responsible for developing. However, they have only become so important in the context of cooperation.

Securing skilled workers

With the LUP-O-MAT, the commuter post and the opportunity atlas, we are making a contribution to securing skilled labour in the region. Apply as a company for the family seal and set an example for the compatibility of family and work. Family-friendly employers have a better chance of attracting skilled workers and retaining them in the long term. Contact WiFöG for information on how to create a family-friendly working environment. We advise entrepreneurs on the extent to which family-friendliness and economic success can go together. Even small businesses have the opportunity to take various measures to reconcile their employees' working and private lives. After your application for the Family Seal, we will check with a jury whether your company meets all the requirements. If this is the case, companies can initially carry the seal for a period of three years and use it for their personnel marketing.
