Frankfurt (Oder)

The business location Frankfurt (Oder)

Frankfurt (Oder) has 60,000 inhabitants and is the easternmost university town in Germany. This independent town is particularly important as an interface between Germany and Poland. The Oder Bridge leads directly into the centre of its Polish twin town Słubice.

Its location on the European transport route E30 (A12) with two junctions, well-developed industrial real estate at favourable conditions, and a well-qualified workforce all contribute to the location’s attractiveness. Together with the town of Eisenhüttenstadt, Frankfurt forms a centre for regional growth. The Terminal – a transhipment station for combined road and rail transport in the urban freight terminal – provides an attractive option for container transportation.

Europa-Universtät Viadrina which currently hosts around 6000 students, also enjoys a strong international reputation. Together with Poznań University, it also operates the Collegium Polonicum, promoting a new model for transnational research and teaching. Businesses looking to seize the opportunities offered by the “emerging markets” in Central and Eastern Europe focus on graduates with specialised degrees such as the MBA in “Management for Central and Eastern Europe” As of 2019, there are plans for a German-Polish Master’s degree for digital businesses, which will make the location on the Oder river even more attractive for students and business owners alike.

A well-known company to come out of Viadrina is asgoodasnew GmbH, an online electronics retailer located in Frankfurt (Oder).
