Interview with Economic Development Agency of Brandenburg

“The business ideas and company concepts in Brandenburg are as diverse as the reasons for establishing a business here.”

Therefore, “Starting up in Brandenburg” (“Gründen in Brandenburg”) asks in the section “Why Brandenburg?” (“Warum Brandenburg?”) founders and successors, why they chose Brandenburg as the federal state for their business headquarters. Because “there are many good reasons to move to Brandenburg or to stay here and start your own business” – but “Starting up in Brandenburg” wants to know exactly from our CEO and co-founder Peter Sänger. You can read our short profile and many more HERE.

Why did Green City Solutions choose Brandenburg?

“After over two years of intensive startup phase in Dresden with support from the universities, we embarked on our first growth phase. This raised the question of which location could facilitate the next step. At that time, Berlin offered a promising base. However, after about three years in the heart of Berlin, space became limited.”

Some of the convincing factors:

Co-founder Peter Sänger also answered questions for the “Startup Portrait”. Thus you’ll not only learn more about the choice of Brandenburg as a location but also about:

  • What motivated you to start the business?
  • What special challenges/hurdles did you have to overcome in the startup process?
  • What future steps do you plan for your company?
  • How do you best unwind from everyday life?

At Green City Solutions, Peter Sänger is primarily responsible for the strategic direction and further development. On the occasion of the company’s tenth anniversary, the IHK Cottbus recently presented Green City Solutions with the certificate. You can read more in our blog article.
