Recently, Foreign Affairs Office of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government announced the list of 2021 Youth Messengers of Jiangsu. Recommended by Suzhou FAO, Markus Grabmeier, GM of Electrical Products of Siemens China, was voted as one of the 17 Messengers.
The official appointment ceremony hosted by Jiangsu FAO was held in Nanjing, the provincial capital, from Dec 20 to 21 ,2021, during which the appointees all came onto the stage to receive their certificates.
Initiated by Jiangsu FAO in 2011, “Youth Messengers of Jiangsu” has become a unique brand and important facilitator of Jiangsu province for international exchanges. Over the years, Suzhou FAO has taken an active part in this initiative, recommending and facilitating the appointment of several youth representatives from Suzhou, among which are senior business executives, artists, scientists and overseas students who come from different countries and work in different sectors, but all have contributed a lot to the friendship between Suzhou and other parts of the world.
Markus joined Siemens Electrical Apparatus Ltd., Suzhou in 2015, and has since then brought technology and other resources from Germany, providing high-quality products to the Chinese Market. Thanks to his advice and efforts, Siemens upgraded its Suzhou branch into the headquarters of Siemens’ electrical products in China.
Markus has also supported Suzhou’s people-to-people and cultural exchanges with foreign countries including Germany. As a promoter of friendly exchanges between Suzhou and countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, he has made meaningful contributions to expanding Suzhou’s circle of friends and enhancing the city’s international voice and influence.
