Berlin and Brandenburg together form the German capital region in the center of Europe. The interrelationships in areas such as economy, labor market, transport, education, science, energy, health and the environment are nationwide unique.
Brandenburg region is more than just a vibrant economic area. The region offers a special alternation between peace and action, a diverse interplay of nature and culture. While it is an industrial state, located at the center of major European routes, it also benefits from beautiful natural landscapes which are perfect for recreation and leisure.
Brandenburg is blessed with 3,000 beautiful lakes and huge forests making it a perfect spot for relaxation as well as sports activities such as hiking and cycling. The proximity to Berlin enables an almost infinite range of cultural activities. And yet you can quickly withdraw from the big city at any time and enjoy life in the quiet suburbs and communities.
Boasting splendid palaces, lush landscaped parks, historic castles, country manors and gardens, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Potsdam (Prussian Palaces and Gardens) with over 1,000 years of history, the sparsely populated Uckermark district is imagined as a Tuscany of the north. The Spree Forest is a little Venice with its busy network of rivers and canals, and a plethora of museums, galleries, concert halls and theatres charm and entertain residents and guests alike.
In the recent years, Berlin-Brandenburg has been recognized as one of the most dynamic federal states in Germany and is a pioneer in renewable energies. Furthermore, the European Commission has honored Brandenburg by naming it a “Region of Excellence”.
Various national and international companies found an exceptional potential in this region for business and same goes for people of different professional backgrounds for its quality of life. Small towns and villages offer space for stressed city dwellers and young families.
The newest addition of the national and international companies nestled in Brandenburg region is the newly opened international BER airport and the Gigafactory of the global corporation Tesla is being built within the proximity.
Presently, these are the two major employers to create thousands of jobs in the region. The Tesla Gigafactory alone will initially create 12,000 new jobs. And once it is on full operations, up to 40,000 employees shall be employed. We expect an influx of more than 100,000 people in the region over the next few years.
The BER International Airport replaced nearby Schönefeld, Tegel and Tempelhof airports and became the single commercial airport serving Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg. With projected annual passenger numbers of around 34 million, Berlin-Brandenburg Airport is set to become the third busiest airport in Germany surpassing Düsseldorf Airport and making it one of the fifteen busiest in Europe.
