provide <strong>the</strong> decisive impulse for susta<strong>in</strong> able<br />
future technologies.<br />
There is hardly ano<strong>the</strong>r sector <strong>in</strong> which research<br />
and development are so pronounced. In<br />
a nationwide comparison, Berl<strong>in</strong> companies<br />
have even seen an above-average rise <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
<strong>in</strong>novation activities over <strong>the</strong> last years.<br />
A recent study by <strong>the</strong> Technologiestiftung Berl<strong>in</strong><br />
shows that <strong>the</strong> revenue generated from new<br />
products <strong>in</strong> Berl<strong>in</strong> is well above <strong>the</strong> nationwide<br />
average. This highlights that Berl<strong>in</strong> is an attractive<br />
location for pioneer<strong>in</strong>g ideas, <strong>in</strong> particular<br />
with regard to <strong>the</strong> opportunity for <strong>in</strong>terdiscipl<strong>in</strong>ary<br />
collaboration.<br />
Thereby <strong>the</strong> companies benefit from <strong>the</strong> tradition-steeped<br />
tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g for eng<strong>in</strong>eers as well as<br />
<strong>the</strong> powerful academic and research landscape.<br />
The TU Berl<strong>in</strong> and <strong>the</strong> Fraunhofer Institute<br />
for Production Systems and Design Technology<br />
<strong>in</strong> particular are strong R&D partners<br />
for bus<strong>in</strong>ess. <strong>Mechanical</strong> eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g also focuses<br />
on <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>novativeness and creativity of<br />
<strong>the</strong> young, dynamic startup scene.<br />
In addition to startups, <strong>the</strong> development and<br />
»MTS Systems GmbH was founded<br />
<strong>in</strong> 1972 as subsidiary of a US global<br />
provider of test and simulations<br />
systems, with Berl<strong>in</strong> consciously<br />
chosen as <strong>the</strong> location. Then as<br />
now, <strong>the</strong>re is no <strong>in</strong>dustrial base<br />
<strong>in</strong> Germany more diverse, more<br />
<strong>in</strong>ternational and more efficient.<br />
Through <strong>the</strong> unique proximity to science and a vibrant<br />
cultural and creative scene, we f<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong> optimum<br />
conditions for <strong>in</strong>novation and growth.«<br />

»The Berl<strong>in</strong>-based manufactur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustry is currently experienc<strong>in</strong>g<br />
a pleas<strong>in</strong>g upturn. This provides<br />
numerous possibilities for contact<br />
with <strong>in</strong>stitutes of higher education<br />
alongside very promis<strong>in</strong>g opportunities<br />
for collaboration with startups.<br />
These, too, <strong>in</strong>spire particularly<br />
favorable circumstances for cross-<strong>in</strong>novation and<br />
topics such as big data. In order to achieve market success<br />
and growth <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>se areas, <strong>the</strong> established mechanical<br />
eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g markets will require perseverance.«<br />

Highly qualified skilled workers<br />
and management<br />
Berl<strong>in</strong> attracts people from all over <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
They want to live, study, and work here. In<br />
<strong>the</strong> Berl<strong>in</strong>-<strong>Brandenburg</strong> region alone, around<br />
15,000 students are currently study<strong>in</strong>g mechanical<br />
eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g and process technology.<br />
The federal capital is one of <strong>the</strong> most popular<br />
university locations worldwide for foreign<br />
students and scientists. The city also attracts<br />
highly qualified skilled workers, from all-rounders<br />
to specialists.<br />
Growth orientation, <strong>the</strong> enormous potential<br />
for <strong>in</strong>novation, as well as highly tra<strong>in</strong>ed, multil<strong>in</strong>gual<br />
staff and management: These are <strong>the</strong><br />
crucial prerequisites for a successful bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
