Neukölln remembers...The 12th annual festival reflects individual artists' and visitors' viewpoints. Identity and roots: in a multicultural district like ours, I can't imagine something more exciting.

As sponsors of the festival since 2007, we're pleased to be part of the burgeoning variety and integrating charisma of this festival celebrating Neukölln. At our location near Grenzallee, BIOTRONIK has not only established itself and prospered; we excell at producing ultra-modern medical technology and were nominated for the Zukunftspreis des Bundespräsidenten 2009 (Future-mindedness Award from the President of Germany) for our products, which sell well internationally. Today, BIOTRONIK employs more than 2000 people at our headquarters and offers young people a future in our training programme. Healthy growth and a multicultural identity: as a traditional, international Berlin-based team, we're committed to this area.
