The bags are packed, meetings are set, and we’re ready for next week’s WFBB trade mission to Vancouver and Calgary!
To recap: we’ve been working with AHP International to represent Germany’s Economic Development Agency Brandenburg (WFBB), and introduce German companies from the clean energy, circular materials, advanced manufacturing, and 3D visualization sectors to Western Canada markets.
The Berlin-Brandenburg region has some strong parallels to British Columbia and Alberta, including a strong resource and traditional industries background as well as a focus on innovation and transformation. It is the home to the Tesla Gigafactory, and the state is rapidly transitioning from traditional coal mining in the Lusatia region into a massive hub for hydrogen production, wind energy, and circular economy technologies. It’s also a hub for life sciences, medtech, advanced materials, optics, and photonics.
Details about each company are included below; contact us if you would like an introduction to one of the participant organizations – and watch our LinkedIn and X feeds for mission updates.

The Brandenburg University of Technology Cottus-Senftenberg (BTU) Chair of Architecture and Visualisation (held by Prof. Dominik Lengyel since 2006) develops the “visual communication of complex spatial content, calibrated to the psychology of human perception through abstract modelling and virtual photography.” In short, their technology communicates your visualization needs via 3D imagery and photo-assisted modelling. The technology has applications in various fields (it is well suited to technical object design for energy and public spaces); it has been shown in museums across Europe, and at York University (via Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council).
