This tendency is growing due to the effects of Brexit. What is more, the Berlin government and many businesses are striving to make Berlin the European ‘Silicon Valley’, as well as a commercial center with strong connections to European economic entities. Government initiatives are supporting growth industries by improving infrastructure, developing the technological environment, and expanding commercial properties.
As a historical capital for centuries, Berlin has witnessed the rise and fall of Prussia, the German Reich, the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany and the separation of Germany after the second world war. No other capital has experienced so many dramatic changes as Berlin in the last century. A divided city for 28 years during the Cold War Era, Berlin was reunited after the fall of Berlin Wall and regained its status as the capital city of the Federal Republic of Germany. 
All of this has made Berlin a fascinating city with a unique history and vibrant culture. Each year, more than 45,000 people move to Berlin, most of them young and well-educated and over 4,000 new firms or spin-offs are launched in the city. 84% of all employed Berliners have professional qualifications and 70% of them speak one or two foreign languages.
