Politically, culturally and economically, Berlin is one of the most sought-after locations in Germany and throughout Europe. In the service sector alone, over 150,000 new jobs have been created in the capital.   The business community in Berlin has played a key role since the start of the industrial era in the early 19th century. Berlin quickly grew to become a technical and economic centre oriented towards the future and with a desire to advance scientific research, a characteristic which today unifies eastern and western Germany in the technical achievements of a shared economic culture.   Traditionally, Berlin has a well-earned reputation in the business and service sectors - yet it also sets the benchmarks for the future.
