Your Future in MV

A labour market is taking shape in MV that attracts apprentices, career starters, and skilled workers alike. Opportunities are opening up across the region and in a wide range of fields. Here, it's not just about the job — balance matters too. The coast beckons during lunch breaks. Lakes glisten at the end of the working day. Natural spectacles are often just minutes away from the factory floor or your desk.

MV offers the best conditions for balancing family and career. Since 2020, childcare in the region has been free of charge — from nurseries to after-school clubs, childcare centres, and childminders. We make it possible to have a fulfilling family life without compromising your career.

Our job market is as varied as MV itself, offering positions across a wide range of sectors. The steadily growing creative sector shows that MV offers real freedom for people with ideas. Science, politics, and business work closely together — creating ideal conditions for knowledge transfer, innovation, and investment. With many attractive, future-oriented industries, the region offers excellent prospects and ample space for start-ups, new businesses, skilled workers, and managers.

MV is a pioneer in the energy transition — the first region to cover 100 percent of its electricity needs from renewable sources. Green hydrogen, the circular economy, the bioeconomy, and sustainable industries create new locational advantages. With renewable energy in abundance, ample development opportunities, and excellent connections to all major markets, sustainable product ideas find exactly the environment they need to flourish.

Tourism in MV is a powerful economic driver, a calling card, and a force for progress all at once — creating jobs, infrastructure, and quality of life. MV is a holiday destination, a place people dream of, and a home — with unspoilt nature, lively cities, and plenty of space to pursue personal ambitions. Here, the future is being shaped — sustainably, reliably, and collectively.

One of the region's most important sectors, with outstanding opportunities for skilled workers, is healthcare: the university medical centres in Rostock and Greifswald alone employ over 9,000 people — beacons in the healthcare sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises are a real strength here: technology, food, tourism — regionally rooted, widely branched.

Agriculture too stands for quality: high-quality produce is grown on fertile soils, using modern technology and local processing. And the jobs here are modern, skilled, and full of potential.

Young companies are sprouting up here. Gründungswerft brings founders together, and MVpreneur Day — the largest start-up event in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern — brings together founders, students, investors, and innovation enthusiasts. Sustainability and digitalisation are driving the start-up scene forward.

A growing number of universities nurture a culture of innovation. A growing community is forging connections throughout Germany and Europe. Anyone who starts a business here finds support, a network to rely on, and real opportunities for the future.

Great jobs need great companies — and MV is a particularly attractive place for them to put down roots. The manufacturing sector is setting new trends and creating stable employment. The service sector accounts for over 70 percent of economic output, providing a stable foundation for your professional future.

We are defying a nationwide slowdown: in the first half of 2025, the economy in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern grew by around 2 percent. Growth that shows up in real jobs. Working here means arriving in a region that is shaping the future. Building a career between dunes, sea views, and beach cafés — with real prospects.

Your future belongs here — between work, family, and the sea.
