Mission statement of the itzehoe region

What we stand for

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”.
