Berlin is to be strengthened as a hub for future industries and technologies. The “Future Locations” serve as a crucial building block in this endeavor. These Future Locations are sites where network structures between the scientific community and the business sector already exist or are to be established. The active exchange and cooperation among business, research, and technology institutions foster the innovative capacity and competitiveness of the entire regional economy.
There are a total of 12 future locations in Berlin: Wissenschafts- und Technologiepark Adlershof*, Campus Berlin-Buch*, Berlin Campus Charlottenburg*, CleanTech Marzahn*, EUREF-Campus Berlin*, Technologie-Park Berlin-Humboldthain*, Wirtschafts- und Wissenschaftsstandort Berlin Schöneweide*, Berlin SÜDWEST*, Berlin TXL – Urban Tech Republic*, Siemensstadt²*, Health Innovation Quarter Berlin-Mitte* and the Airport Tempelhof*.
Since 2017, a dedicated office has supported internal and external networking efforts. Now, in the third GRW funding period—effective April 1, 2024—this office has once again been entrusted with this task.
The objective of the Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises is to promote the “Future Locations” as hubs connecting business, science, and research; to support the development of these areas; and to attract skilled professionals and high-tech companies to Berlin.
