Joint Agenda for Port Investments

Joint Agenda for Port Investments

BREMEN. The Weser Day 2025, which took place in late September, focussed on the joint investment agenda under the guiding theme of “Investments in Bremen and Lower Saxony’s seaports – cooperation between the public and private sectors”. Björn Fecker, Mayor and Senator for Finance of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, called for greater involvement by the German government in the financing of port infrastructure: “Seaports are the backbone of Germany as an export nation, as they guarantee added value and jobs.” Colonel Thomas Geßner emphasised the idea of “dual use”: “Our North Sea ports are economic centres and, above all, they are strategic hubs of our security.” Threats such as sabotage, cyberattacks, drones, disruptions to the energy supply and manipulation are real. Uwe Beckmeyer, former Parliamentary State Secretary, who hosted the event, added: “Cooperation is not the antithesis of competition, it is the driving force.”
