The space sector in Berlin and Brandenburg
Space in Berlin-Brandenburg
A Strong Hub for New Space
Berlin-Brandenburg has developed into a diverse and dynamic space hub. More than 70 companies and research institutions in the region are working on technologies and applications for space. Established space industry players, innovative start-ups, universities and research institutions come together to create an environment that fosters new ideas, technologies and collaborations.
Innovation Across the Entire Value Chain
A particular focus lies on small and nanosatellites. Regional players develop and manufacture components, subsystems and complete satellites for a wide range of missions and applications. Their expertise spans propulsion and lightweight technologies, electronics, optics and laser systems, as well as sensors, power supply, communications and data processing.
At the same time, new solutions are emerging at the intersection of space and other future technologies. Artificial intelligence, digitalisation, photonics and advanced communication technologies are opening up new possibilities for satellite missions and the use of space-based data.
Space for Earth
Space technologies have long been part of our everyday lives. Satellite data help monitor climate change, manage agricultural land more efficiently, detect natural disasters at an early stage, and provide reliable communication and navigation systems. Space therefore makes an important contribution to addressing global challenges and developing new applications for life on Earth.
An Ecosystem with an International Perspective
Berlin-Brandenburg’s strength lies particularly in the close connection between industry, science and research. Short distances, diverse expertise and a strong network create ideal conditions for innovation, collaboration and the development of new business models.
As the space sector becomes increasingly international and competitive, global connectivity is becoming ever more important for the region. Space Berlin International supports companies and research institutions from Berlin-Brandenburg in accessing international markets, finding new partners and building cross-border collaborations.
