Together, Brandenburg and Berlin are one of the most dynamic economic areas in Europe. With its strong-growing economy the German Capital Region is one of Europe’s most exciting hubs. Its central position in the continent ensures that all the growing markets in Europe are only a one-day truck drive away.

The unique mix of the many positive locational factors - an excellent infrastructure, high-level science and research competence, qualified and motivated specialists, innovative creativity, cultural highlights and scenic beauty - makes Brandenburg an attractive investment location. Many global players have already settled there, for example ArcelorMittal, Mercedes Benz, Rolls-Royce, Swiss Krono, Thermo Fisher, Vestas and VW.

International corporations and innovative SMEs find excellent foundations in Brandenburg for their economic development. A wide range of commercial, industrial and office spaces are available in the best locations and at reasonable prices. Trade taxes are also very favourable. Furthermore, Brandenburg offers one of the best financial supporting structures in Europe.
