Berlin-Brandenburg: Excellent Value for Money

Brandenburg is a powerful part of the German Capital Region. The renowned businesses with facilities here offer excellent career prospects and fair wages.

Conversely, labour cost continuously increased significantly in several Central and Eastern European countries while productivity growth remained behind that of Eastern Germany.
