The two regional centres of growth Fürstenwalde and Frankfurt (Oder) set the pace for the district. Eisenhüttenstadt is a key location for the metal and paper industries and offers optimal conditions for the establishment of primary industries. Incidentally, the US actor Tom Hanks is an avowed Eisenhüttenstadt fan (Tom Hanks driving a Trabant car across Eisenhüttenstadt).

Fürstenwalde is just a short train ride from Berlin and could therefore continue to gain significance as both an industrial and residential location. It is also home to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany and the German headquarters of the property development company, Bonava.
