Cluster for Transport & Mobility in the BerlinBrandenburg region

Traffic and mobility are decisive factors for growth and employment in the region. Regional and international networked solutions for traffic performance will become key factors for the development of the economy and society during the coming years. In the future, it will not be possible for one individual carrier or a specific technology to provide mobility efficiently. The emphasis of efforts made must therefore be to increase the effectiveness of the system as a whole.

For this purpose, innovation is required. Solutions which are economical and not harmful for the environment and are also accepted by the users are decisive for success. Primarily, these include intelligent networking of the various traffic carriers - intermodal mobility.

Current analyses view the cluster for transport & mobility in BerlinBrandenburg as well-positioned and with a high economic potential. Transport in Berlin is characterised by the mix of all sub-sectors and technology fields, the wide scale research sphere and the close-knit interlocking with users and operators. There are huge potentials in the application and use of multi-disciplinary networking of science and the economy in order to guarantee mobility both in the economical and ecological sense.

Activity fields
Within the framework of the Senate's strategy to establish a cluster for transport and mobility, activity fields were defined within which a more intense networking of science and the economy should take place and which result from current priorities:

  • Transport telematics,
  • Logistics,
  • Railway system technology,
  • Aerospace engineering and
  • Automotive.
The activity fields are subject to regular checking against the background of constraints with regard to transport, transport science and economic transport constraints.
Activity fields are characterised by their coverage of the entire value chain from research via production, application and worldwide marketing, thus providing the region the capability to master complex systems in the field of transport & mobility.
