Establishment of an external representative of Baden-Württemberg in London to promote economic and scientific relations with the United Kingdom.

With the UK's exit from the EU, the UK's exit from the EU significantly reduces the intensity of cooperation, which has so far taken place many times within the EU framework and through EU institutions, and bilateral cooperation is becoming very important. Against this background, the state of Baden-Württemberg intends to establish a local contact point in the UK with a foreign representative office in London. The International Representative Office is intended to make an important contribution to the continuation and strengthening of Baden-Württemberg's economic and innovation relations with the UK and to the networking of business and science in this context, as well as to provide a visible signal for future bilateral cooperation.

Overall, at least one full-time equivalent must be available to the foreign representative office to carry out its tasks. However, positions can be divided in principle.
