The metal and electrical industry is especially affected by the new challenges posed by automation and digitisation. This is why the availability of higher education institution graduates and skilled employees is a decisive factor for many businesses in terms of choosing their business location.

The capital region Berlin-Brandenburg boasts over 50 higher education institutions, 22 institutes of the Leibniz Society, seven institutes of the Fraunhofer Society and eight institutes of the Max Planck Society: this is the highest concentration of research institutes in Germany.

Businesses of the Cluster Metal use their comprehensive expertise for new products, processes and materials in order to remain competitive.
