Potsdam-Mittelmark District

Print page

The Business Location District Potsdam-Mittelmark

The district of Potsdam-Mittelmark is located in the south-west of Brandenburg, extending from the federal capital of Berlin to the state border with Saxony-Anhalt. This district, with over 200,000 inhabitants and the district town of Bad Belzig, surrounds Brandenburg an der Havel and partially the federal capital Potsdam.

The district’s traffic infrastructure is excellent. Central traffic routes join together here with the European motorway axis E 30 (A 2 and A 10) and the A 9. Furthermore, a dense network of well-developed national roads connects the district’s larger towns and economic centres with each other and national destinations.

The economic profile of the district has a wide variety of influences: Companies operating in mechanical engineering, metal production, the food industry, healthcare, the media, IT and communication industries, manual trades as well as services shape the economic life which predominantly comprises SMEs. Agriculture and fruit growing have traditionally played a major role in the district of Potsdam-Mittelmark. Tourism, especially cycling and hiking, is also very important. The district was crowned “Community of the Year” in the State of Brandenburg by the East German Savings Bank Association (Sparkassenverband OSV).

The region is made up of innovative know-how. For example, in the town of Teltow, the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research (IAP) develops highly cross-linked polymers for applications in all industries, in particular aviation, IT and communications technology as well as equipment engineering. There are two research institutes in the district of Rehbrücke: The German Institute of Human Nutrition (DIfE) conducts experimental and applied health and nutrition research while developing strategies for prevention, treatment and nutritional recommendations, whereas the Institute for Grain Processing (IGV) develops innovative products, systems and processes for food and feed production and successfully markets its own scientific findings worldwide. A number of companies are actively involved in the development of medical products and medical devices, particularly in Teltow and the municipality of Stahnsdorf.

Teltow Technology Centre (TZT), together with the technology and start-up centre Technologie- und Gründerzentrum “Fläming” GmbH in Bad Belzig has provided new entrepreneurs with excellent start-up conditions for many years. A total of 350 hectares of developed spaces is available for interested parties in over 30 business parks.
