Berlin: Strategic Logistics Hub and European Pivot Point Episode of Interlinks with Patrick Daly, The Macro-to-Micro Strategist
In this special episode of Interlinks, the guest isn’t a person — it’s a city. Join me, Patrick Daly, as I take you on a whistle-stop tour of Berlin, Germany’s capital and a dynamic symbol of freedom, innovation, and geopolitical importance. But beyond the Berlin Wall and the Brandenburg Gate lies a critical dimension often overlooked: Berlin as a strategic logistics and supply chain hub at the heart of Europe.
In this episode, we explore: Why Berlin is a continental pivot point in the EU’s logistics network. The role of Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Europe’s largest multilevel rail hub. The legacy of Tempelhof Airport and its lessons for modern logistics. How Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) connects to global trade flows. Adlershof Technology Park as a hotbed of supply chain innovation. Westhafen Inland Port as a sustainable urban logistics node. How startups at Factory Berlin and MotionLab are reshaping supply chains with AI, blockchain, and additive manufacturing. And what the East Side Gallery tells us about the past and future of divided trade systems.
Whether you're in manufacturing, distribution, or logistics services, this episode will help you see how Berlin’s infrastructure, location, and innovation ecosystem make it a vital component of Europe's resilient, agile supply chains.
If you’re a business leader navigating uncertainty and complexity across international supply chains — and you're ready to move from reaction to resilience — get in touch.
