In Japan, a meeting is planned with Jiro Kogi, Deputy Secretary General of EU-Japan Fest, at the Saxon evening reception in the German pavilion of Expo 2025. Schulze's trip aims to intensify contacts, expand networks, and open up new opportunities for cooperation in economy and research. The delegation's visit to Singapore will culminate in signing a cooperation agreement with the A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics (IME).
