Brandenburg is the broad industrial belt around the capital city of Berlin. The establishment of international groups and innovative medium-sized enterprises has led to Brandenburg,s transformation into a modern, high-quality location. But its positive development is hardly a foregone conclusion. The manufacturing industry is constantly in the process of preparing for the challenges of the future. This includes digitisation in particular.
Brandenburg industry is quite the success story. Innovations have always been the driving force to face national and international competition, but they require business and research to be strongly integrated. The targeted support of fast-growing clusters along with the intensive networking of those involved creates excellent cooperation opportunities for companies.
Initiatives such as the Brandenburg Innovation Centre for Modern Industry at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and the Mittelstand 4.0 Competence Center Cottbus support small and medium-sized companies in the state of Brandenburg with turning ideas for innovation into concrete projects.
