Tradition meets modernity
Startups meet tradition. Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf is a place
where long-established traditional and family businesses rub
shoulders with young entrepreneurs. The area around Campus
Charlottenburg is teeming with a variety of young, successful
startups that are expanding from here out into the world. These
are complemented by more traditional, established companies
such as the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur KPM, Berlin’s oldest
still-operating handicraft enterprise.
Be fair
Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf has been a Fair Trade Town since
2011. The goal of the campaign is to take a concrete stance
for a fairer world and promote the increased and ongoing use
of fair trade products. 17 countries now participate in the
campaign, and there are roughly 550 Fair Trade Towns.
Good to know
TU Berlin is one of the largest technical universities in Germany.
About 35,000 students are currently studying at the
TU Berlin and Berlin University of the Arts (UdK), one of the
largest and most diverse fine arts universities in the world.
With a total of 9,000 employees in research, teaching and
administration, the two universities are also among the largest
employers in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf.
