Well, I represented the Region of Saarland here at this wonderful Congress. It's a networking conference with a lot of people all over the world. It's a great conference and it is good for my network. I used the chance to represent the Region of Saarland talking about the challenges we have in transformation of our industrial region to a future region with new branches in circular economy and semiconductors, also in pharma, in pharma industry. And it's good when a lot of people know what we do and are interested to invest in Saarland because we have a strong workforce, and we need workforce them and we have a lot of good places and sites where you can invest in greenfield and in brownfield. And therefore, I'm here. Thank you.
