Bundestag: Anna Christmann to become new start-up commissioner
The appointment of Germany's start-up commissioner was actually only due to be announced in the next two weeks. Now the Green Party member of parliament Anna Christmann is to take over the post.
According to insider information from Capital Anna Christmann is to become the new start-up commissioner of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, which reports to Robert Habeck. However, the ministry and the Green MP have not yet confirmed the rumors.
Anna Christmann was recently appointed Federal Government Coordinator for Aerospace. Members of parliament in this position also take on the role of start-up commissioner in Germany, at least that was the case with Christmann's predecessor, CDU politician Thomas Jarzombek.
Christmann has been a member of the German Bundestag for the constituency of Stuttgart 2 since 2017. In the last legislative period, she was spokesperson for innovation and technology policy and spokesperson for civic engagement. From 2018 to 2020, she was also a member of the Enquete Commission on Artificial Intelligence. The Green politician holds a doctorate in political science from the University of Bern.
