Working in Berlin
Berlin isn’t just a great place to live; it’s also a great place to work. Berlin’s highly developed infrastructure, large amounts of available space and high quality of life – especially in terms of nature, recreational opportunities and cultural diversity – make living and working in Berlin a very unique and diverse experience.
After 15 years of fundamental structural transformation, Berlin has also built up an attractive labor market for skilled personnel and companies based, on the one hand, on the city’s focus on sustainable future industries and, on the other hand, its strong and rapid economic growth. For example, Berlin’s gross domestic product grew by an average of 1.7% annually in the period from 2004 to 2009 – a rate faster than in all other federal states in Germany!
Hundreds of thousands of jobs are created in Berlin by the many national and international companies that establish office and operations here each year. The city’s growing services sector, especially in the field of tourism, also contributes significantly to this trend. The labor market profits from the expansion of modern communication networks, which includes the city’s 170,000 kilometer fiber optic network, as well as from the capital’s significant number of top educational institutions.
Berlin has also become a leading global location for congresses and trade fairs and has acted as the host of many major events, such as the IFA Consumer Electronics Fair and the ITB International Tourism Exchange (ITB), for a number of years.
