Welcome to Brandenburg, the industrial hub
Modern Industry – Backbone of Brandenburg’s economy
“Brandenburg is an industrial hub and a top location for companies that are considering setting up new branches. However, the further development of the region’s industry can’t be taken for granted. The manufacturing businesses need to get themselves in shape for the future. It’s especially crucial for small and medium-sized enterprises – which make up the majority of Brandenburg’s industrial sector – to embrace the digitisation of their production processes,” said Albrecht Gerber, Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, during his opening speech at the 2015 Industry Conference in Cottbus.
Important industrial companies of Brandenburg
Brandenburg’s industry is a success story and innovations have always been the driving force behind the region’s achievements in the context of the national and international competition. However, innovation requires close ties between science and industry. Brandenburg Innovation Centre for Modern Industry at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, for instance, encourages collaboration between companies and R&D institutes.
