Start Your Berlinale Morning with AFCI and Olsberg•SPI

Join the Association of Film Commissioners International (AFCI) at the Netflix Berlin headquarters on Friday 13th February for a morning presentation on Economic Impact Reporting as Strategy, presented in partnership with Olsberg•SPI.

The session brings together film commissions, public sector leaders, and industry stakeholders to examine how economic impact reporting can operate as a strategic tool for advocacy, policy engagement, and long-term investment.

The programme positions economic impact studies as tools for shaping policy and strengthening national and regional competitiveness. Through applied examples, speakers will show how rigorous analysis informs government decision-making, incentive design, and infrastructure planning, while supporting sustainable growth across screen production ecosystems in a competitive global market.

The session will be kicked off by Olsberg•SPI consultant Joshua Dedman, who will provide an overview of economic impact assessments and the value of impact data.
