VfW elects Patrick Meinhardt as deputy chairman.
The Association for the Promotion of Competitive Economy (VfW) has elected Patrick Meinhardt as vice-chairman. As the network announced in Berlin on 1 April 2026, the mobility association VSPV has only recently joined the association. The VfW sees itself as an economic and SME policy network in the federal capital.
According to its own statements, the association comprises 25 member associations as well as more than 200 members. Among them are mainly active and former MPs. The aim is to bundle economic policy topics and to feed them into political decision-making processes.
VSPV Expands Political Contacts
Meinhardt is the general representative and head of the VSPV's capital office. With his election to the board, he takes on additional responsibilities within the network. According to the association, the role is intended to help place the interests of the taxi and rental-car industry more prominently in economic policy discussions.
The VSPV sees membership in the VfW as an opportunity to contribute its positions at the federal level in a targeted way and to deepen networking with mid-sized actors.
Netzwerk mit politischer Anbindung
The chairman of the VfW is Klaus-Peter Willsch, the CDU member of the Bundestag. He is an economic policy expert, a member of the board of the Parliamentary Circle for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, and the chairman of the Parliamentary Group for Aviation and Space. According to the association, he welcomes Meinhardt's election and points to the importance of close cooperation among SME associations.
The VSPV announces that it will advocate within the network for the interests of the SME sector and will expand cooperation with other organizations. (Source: VSPV)
