Photonics Cluster Berlin Brandenburg #3716
Photonics Cluster Berlin Brandenburg
- We have a passion for optics and
photonics, microelectronics and
quantum technologies. The Geman
Capital Region is one of the world‘s
most important locations for the
industry. Here, you will find perfect
conditions for concentrated research,
development and production. Berlin
Brandenburg has a highly developed
research landscape, a highly diversified
industrial sector and a high
degree of networking within the
community. Quantum Technologies
benefit from an agile ecosystem like
this as well. The Photonics Cluster
Berlin Brandenburg is working on
becoming a hotspot for this advanced
technology.
The Photonics Cluster in Berlin and
Brandenburg is especially distinguished
by a strong scientific basis:
• 10 universities
• 26 extra-university research
institutions
And a high amount of specialized
small and medium-sized companies:
• more than 400 SMEs with widely
ranged know-how – a perfect
basis for a mutual transfer between
science and industry, which also
supports national and international
cooperation.
