Stadt Potsdam is the first point of contact for companies, start-ups and investors in the state capital Potsdam. We advise, help and promote.

With a team of sector- and topic-specialised employees, we support settlement, expansion and investment projects. We are committed to creating optimal economic conditions, actively marketing the location and networking with other players.

We make ourselves strong: for the location, for companies, for you.
