Since mid 2022, Mona Neubaur has been Minister for Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy as well as Deputy Minister President of the State of NRW. The minister spoke with VIVID editor Rainer Kunst about how climate neutrality and secure, affordable energy supply can go hand in hand, how NRW can remain competitive and how she maintains her own enthusiasm and optimism in the face of all the challenges.

In late 2022, Olivier Grosjean became the founder and owner of the delicatessen “Chez Olivier”. At Hermannstraße 24 in Flingern, he presents selected natural and organic wines, champagne, raw milk cheeses from the Haut-Doubs as well as artisanal delicatessen products – all of which come with an intriguing tale, because Olivier gets the products from trusted contacts in his native France, which he regularly travels to. Olivier made Düsseldorf his home, however, some 20 years ago.
