How Johanes is building a better working world
“Government policies and incentives are constantly evolving in response to the dynamic business environment. To effectively leverage them, companies need to understand the latest policy developments and how they fit into the overall business strategy.
I help businesses to assess their eligibility for the latest incentives and other government support as well as navigate the process of effectively engaging with the authorities. By facilitating incentive negotiations and sharing government policy insights, I also help companies to integrate regulatory considerations into their business plans for more timely and cost-effective decision-making.”
