In March 2018 the Free State of Bavaria’s Office for Economy, Science, Technology, Education and Youth Exchange took up residence here – and is thus now at the heart of Israel’s start-up metropolis. Georg Eisenreich, the Bavarian State Minister for Digital Agenda, Media and Europe, is hoping this base will lead to one thing above all: stronger partnership.

Women in German politics

Equal rights in politics?

German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel has topped the Forbes list of the most powerful female politicians for years. Almost half the members of the German cabinet are female. Nonetheless, women are still not equally represented in German politics.
