For years, the Berlin economy has been on course for success: Economic growth and increased employment are developing at a faster rate than the nationwide average. This not only attracts more companies to the Spree, but also draws in skilled professionals from all over the world. Companies will also find a broad and diverse range of attractive commercial properties in Berlin.

Why Berlin?

„Berlin has prevailed against contestants such as Barcelona and Istanbul in the location competition for the new Business Service Center for Human Resources of the E.ON SE. It was decisive for us that the new location would attract and bind highly qualified professionals. Berlin convinced us in the European comparison because the city is functioning as a hub between our international locations. Here we found a modern location in a central location for our almost 300 employees. We have received all possible support by Berlin’s politics and Berlin’s business promotion in the siting process.“
