Taskforce Transformation

Who we are and what we do

The Taskforce Transformation team works on behalf of the German government to attract investors to and internationalize the northeastern German refinery and port regions that make up “Germany’s Green Power Bank”. The Taskforce Transformation seeks to increase the international visibility and attractiveness of the regions in Germany’s Green Power Bank as investment destinations.

We are here to help you discover business opportunities in the green energy locations helping to make Germany’s climate neutrality vision a lived reality. Green energy made in Germany will help transform the country into a net-zero economy and change industrial modes of production.

As part of this green vision, the Green Power Bank will also be at the heart of Europe’s future hydrogen network – revitalizing traditional fossil fuel economies while making a key contribution to Germany’s long-term energy goals.

We support the local and regional economies to support and strengthen international networks and partnerships. The locations and sites along the eastern German refinery sites and ports of the GTAI Taskforce Transformation are defined in the Federal Government's "Future Package."
