Business Location: Uckermark District
Uckermark is Germany’s largest rural district. The local business promotion policy is integrative, aiming at parallel development of the economy, infrastructure, landscape and workforce.
Uckermark’s main business assets are craft enterprises and food, wood, paper, petrochemical, metal production, metalworking, and mechatronics plants. A regional growth area with an area of 850 hectares has developed around the PCK refinery and the paper plant in Schwedt. Other important industries include agriculture, renewable energy production, and tourism.
A broad range of cultural and sports activities, combined with splendid landscapes in nature preserves of national and regional importance - including the lower Oder valley, the Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere preserve, and the Uckermark lakes - promise significant growth potential in the district.
