ICT, Media and Creative Industries Cluster: Drivers of Innovation in Berlin Brandenburg

The synergy between ICT, media and creative industries is at the heart of the Berlin and Brandenburg 2025 innovation strategy. This cluster, consisting of more than 50,000 companies, bridges 12 industry sectors, from ICT to publishing houses and advertising agencies, as well as innovative companies from film, games, Web 2.0. An impressive potential unfolds in this symbiosis of technology focus and creativity.

Berlin and Brandenburg are working side by side to combine the economic strengths of our region. A close partnership between the cluster and the Berlin and Brandenburg ministries of economics enabled 98 projects with a total volume of 68.9 million euros to be realized last year.

The ICT sector and the media and creative industries are the driving forces behind the digital transformation in the capital region. Their innovative power not only influences other industries, but also makes Berlin and Brandenburg an ideal location for the future.

Core innovations with growth potential attract global talent

Artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), information security, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR), as well as usability and design are the core innovation fields found in the cluster.

Establishing technologies on the market goes hand in hand with building diverse ecosystems. These range from first-class research to dynamic start-ups and corporations. The cluster team is passionate about building and strengthening these ecosystems.

A healthy ecosystem attracts talent from around the world and fosters a thriving community. This is how the capital region becomes a magnet for outstanding minds.
