I am a berliner.

Living innovation and designing the future – Berlin transforms this vision into reality. The German capital is a city of culture and media, but also one of Europe’s most exciting locations for production and development with a high level of creative potential. In the twenty years since German reunification, the region has undergone a rapid structural transformation. Today, Berlin’s industrial sector is young, innovationoriented and internationally competitive. It is defined by an essential mix of next-generation technologies and modernized traditional industries. 

Berlin’s dynamic development is propelled by the city’s strategic location in the heart of Europe, by its vast workforce of young, highly-qualified professionals and especially by close and effective collaboration between business and science, which acts as an essential engine for innovation. The region’s outstanding funding and financing programs make it additionally attractive. The be Berlin capital city marketing campaign has now joined together with Berlin-based business partners to showcase the tremendous potential of this strategic industrial metropolis. The “ich bin ein berliner.” initiative presents and highlights a number of outstanding industrial products made in Berlin in a wide variety of fields. Many key factors continue to come together in Berlin: talent, technology and an open, creative climate make the city place to be for cutting-edge industry.
