the start-up scene can be a job machine – now and in the future

The job market – A new start-up is founded every 20 minutes in Berlin and the industry is set to produce 100,000 new jobs by 2020. If you’re looking to get a tech job, Berlin could be your way in.

Lower costs, lower risks – It’s no secret that Berlin is cheaper than many of its European counterparts. Berlin’s low rents, cool image and open attitude mean the city is an attractive hub for any creative business, and here startups are as ubiquitous as beer and graffiti – a new startup is founded every 20 minutes in Berlin, according to Gruenden, an advisory agency for new companies. Working spaces such as Ahoy! Berlin in the city’s Wedding neighbourhood are constantly sprouting up.
