Frankfurt (Oder)
Frankfurt (Oder) is the social, cultural and economic hub of the ODERLAND-SPREE region. Together with its Polish neighbor Słubice, Frankfurt (Oder) is a European twin city and, thanks to its economic and research institutions, an international place to work and live, a city of encounters, exchange and communication. Its good connections to Berlin by road (A12) and rail (RE1) and its geographical function as a bridge between Central and Eastern Europe make Frankfurt (Oder) an important part of the German capital region.
District of Märkisch-Oderland
The district of Märkisch-Oderland is a dynamic economic area between the metropolis of Berlin and the Kostrzyn-Slubice special economic zone in Poland. The district is optimally connected via the A10 and B1 motorways as well as regional transport and the Berlin public transport network and has access to a large pool of skilled workers and employees.
District of Oder-Spree
The district of Oder-Spree is characterized by its excellent location. Its proximity in the shadow of the metropolis of Berlin, to the capital city airport Berlin Brandenburg "Willy Brandt" (BER) and to the university locations of Wildau, Cottbus and Frankfurt (Oder) on the German-Polish border stands for accessibility, innovation and access to a highly qualified workforce.
With its high quality of life, a diverse economic structure and the economic centers of Fürstenwalde/Spree and Eisenhüttenstadt, it offers an attractive, functioning environment for investment projects, as the Tesla Gigafactory impressively demonstrates.
