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 />
