"In terms of well-qualified talents, an education concept focused on individual development and multilingualism, such as the one pursued by the International School Südwestfalen, is certainly forward-thinking – and crucial for Viega as a globally operating corporate group. As a cooperation partner from the local business community, this offers us the opportunity to engage with the next generation early on. Therefore, we are pleased to contribute to this 'School of the Future'."

"The Städtisches Gymnasium Olpe experiences a significant enhancement through the introduction of an internationally recognized high school diploma program. As a local Sparkasse (savings bank) located near the International School, it is our natural commitment to support this ambitious structural project through our membership in the supporting association and sponsorship. We anticipate that this will particularly benefit our local businesses by providing them with a competitive advantage in talent recruitment."

"The International School Südwestfalen is an integral part of the regional project initiated by the city of Olpe. The Südwestfalen Agency has recognized the project as particularly valuable for the region. The project is now being further refined. In addition, the city of Olpe, as part of a consortium with four other cities in Südwestfalen, was successful in its application to become a Smart City model municipality. The focus here is primarily on harnessing digital capabilities within the municipalities. The funding from the Regionale and Smart City initiatives will be used to support new learning methods and digitalization in schools."

"An international school in our rural yet highly industrialized region is a beacon project in the educational landscape. For many globally active companies reliant on well-trained professionals and leaders, ISS as an integral part of Städtisches Gymnasium Olpe has become an appealing cooperation partner. Another crucial aspect for these companies is the opportunity to attract international leadership talent and to have a renowned school locally available to provide an internationally recognized high school diploma program for their non-German-speaking offspring."

"The IB World School Olpe, with its international education, contributes to preparing our children for the growing global connectivity. For Mubea, as a globally operating family-owned company, this means establishing early contact with local professionals who can confidently navigate the international arena – a win-win situation for all parties involved!"

"We support the International School Südwestfalen at Städtisches Gymnasium Olpe because it is a crucial element in our strategy to combat the shortage of skilled workers. It complements existing educational offerings and prepares future professionals for the challenges of a globalized market. At the same time, it makes the region more attractive to skilled workers who want to establish a life here with their families and value an internationally recognized education for their children."

"The implementation of the International School as an integral part of Städtisches Gymnasium Olpe presents additional opportunities for our attractive business location here in Südwestfalen. It offers prospects for securing the demand for skilled professionals and leaders of our regional hidden champions, as well as promoting cosmopolitanism and international exchange. As a regional cooperative bank and partner of small and medium-sized enterprises, it is both an honor and a responsibility for us to support this future-proof and sustainable project for our region as a member of the supporting association for the International School and as a sponsor."

"The International School Südwestfalen brings together the expertise of SGO, the University of Siegen, and companies from our Südwestfalen region with the goal of providing students with international orientation a wide range of skills in various competency areas and laying the foundation for an international career in a Südwestfalen-based company through the acquisition of the "International Baccalaureate (IB)." We are already looking forward to welcoming the first "IB graduates" into the Krombacher family after their high school and potential university studies, to work together with them on the further development of our group."
