The mission statement of the Itzehoe region represents the cornerstones of the regional future strategy with an internal function (strengthening the “we-feeling”) and an external effect (sense of departure, demarcation and positioning). The content for the region’s mission statement was defined and described in the four cornerstones in a multi-stage process. Eight guidelines determine the development perspectives of the Itzehoe region and are intended to distinguish it from others. The guiding motto is “High-tech & joie de vivre in the North”.
