Transport, mobility and logistics
With the concept of intelligent networking of the various modes of transport, the capital region is promoting economical and environmentally friendly solutions.
New markets are emerging, and with them a growing demand for innovative products and services. The Berlin region links Western and Eastern Europe. The German capital is one of Europe's most dynamic economic regions.
Ideas are born and realized in Berlin that will preserve our society's mobility long into the future by ensuring that it is both sustainable and economically viable. In Berlin, major global players and new companies alike partner with universities and innovative research alliances that include systems providers, suppliers and service providers.
Why Berlin?
„Berlin is the ideal location for our company to attract highly qualified staff in an international, dynamic environment. Considering the innovative startup scene in the area of mobility and versatile support offered by Berlin Partner, it was an easy decision to relocate our headquarters from London to Berlin.“
Automotive and automotive supplier industry
Its proximity to leading automotive manufacturers, numerous test fields for new and intelligent mobility, and the supportive transformation network of the automotive and supplier industry, ReTraNetz-BB, make the region an important market and partner for the automotive industry.
Berlin is the only location in Germany with a significant presence of the three leading German manufacturers BMW, Mercedes-Benz AG, and Volkswagen. The Berlin site offers a unique combination of excellent R&D activities and high-quality production.
New mobility concepts
Berlin's strong digital economy is the reason why the big names in the automotive industry are coming together here with startups to develop projects and new ideas for electric mobility and software-defined vehicles. Important topics include artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and automated driving.
These technologies can fundamentally change traffic in cities. Berlin offers excellent conditions for testing new concepts, e.g., in the field of electric mobility logistics, networked micromobility with new small vehicles, or innovative charging technologies.
Since 2010, the Berlin Agency for Electromobility (eMO) has been supporting the mobility transition in the capital region as a central contact and coordination point, helping to implement best practice solutions in a sustainable manner.
