Company Succession

For the continued existence of many companies and craft enterprises in the ODERLAND-SPREE region, successful business succession is an important prerequisite. That is why, for example, the East Brandenburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the East Brandenburg Region Chamber of Crafts have launched succession projects to specifically prepare and support owners and managing directors, but also to raise awareness among those interested in succession.

The prize honors a dedicated and motivated young woman who planned with her company to provide employees of larger companies with dishes at lunchtime and additionally host caterings or events. Due to the Corona pandemic, Annemarie Biermann was forced to realign her project.

In addition, she is also booked with her food trailer for food festivals corporate events, trade fairs and private parties in Brandenburg and Berlin.
