BERLIN – from walled city to world city!

The German capital is a melting pot of ideas and innovation; a city of diversity, contrasts and a vibrant creative metropolis. Berlin has an eventful history, a pulsating lifestyle, and has reinvented itself as a cosmopolitan city with a unique flair. The city is also regarded as one of Europe‘s most important cultural centres; and when it comes to dining, Berlin has every taste covered with a diverse culinary offering. Open-minded and intriguing, multi-cultural and multi-lingual, but also with an outstanding infrastructure; Berlin has continued to evolve at a pace unmatched by almost any other city since German unification.

The whole world celebrated as the Berlin Wall fell 30 years ago on 9th November 1989, enabling Berliners from east and west to embrace each other freely. The German capital is an authentic historic place, an ever-changing city that continues to be shaped by its moving story. The city where east and west were once divided by an iron curtain has now become a centre for talent, technology, and tolerance. Berlin has evolved to be a creative and digital hub with an exceptional start-up scene and in addition, it is home to prestigious international research institutes and universities.

Berlin is like a magnet! The city’s diversity and innovative power have helped to create a positive, international image and play a very important role for events.
